Robots ensure efficient and flexible machine tool processing operations

One of the two major international machine tool exhibitions, the 16th Shanghai International Machine Tool Show (East Expo) was held in 2014 on 7month 14 Grand opening at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. At the East Expo, Shanghai FANUC brought its small machining centers, slow-moving wire cutting machines, and FANUC intelligent robots and high-speed machine tools combined with the loading and unloading unit to the exhibition, showing high efficiency and flexibility to the audience. Chemical machine tool processing operations.

This time, Shanghai FANUC brought 4 sets of small machining centers with different characteristics, which are suitable for machining machinery, auto parts, IT precision parts and precision molds. . The FANUC ROBODRILL small processing center is the world champion in sales of the BT30 small processing center. In addition to drilling and tapping, milling and boring can also be performed. FANUC The latest intelligent control system 31iB was also unveiled at this East Expo. Its feature is that FSSB optical fiber communication makes tapping more efficient , Tapping is more stable, because the newly added USB interface is more selective than the original memory card and more convenient to use, and it can simply build a processing system using robots, which can be compatible with FANUC The robot realizes automatic loading and unloading, which greatly improves the automation degree of the machine. In addition, the 31iB system has more extensive processing capabilities. In addition to milling, drilling and tapping of steel and aluminum parts, it can also be used for electrode or mold processing in order to make the rounded corners smooth. The optional AI contour control, NURBS interpolation, and nano-smooth functions can be selected to achieve a smooth processing surface.

The machine tool loading and unloading system integrated with FANUC intelligent robots integrates the advantages of efficient production, stable operation, and space saving. This time, Shanghai FANUC brought a demonstration of 2 sets of intelligent robots cooperating with the machining center unit. In the demonstration of the automatic loading and unloading of the IPAD shell robot, the universal mini robot LR Mate 200iD combined with the ROBODRILL servo gate technology can greatly improve the processing efficiency. span>LR Mate 200iD has the lightest mechanism part among the robots of the same level. The body weight is only 25KG, which is suitable for operations in narrow spaces. It easily corresponds to the two-handed jaws of larger workpieces. .

In the demonstration of intelligent robot visual loading and unloading of scattered parts, the M-20iA robot and the FANUC 3D BIN-PICKING technology can achieve accurate positioning of the scattered parts, 2D The vision compensation technology realizes the correction of the deviation of the workpiece plane position, so as to ensure that the workpiece is sent into the machining center in the correct posture.

In addition, slow walking wire cutting machine FANUC The ROBOCUT PCD tool processing system is also on display at this exhibition. ROBOCUT The slow-moving wire cutting machine is widely used in mold, medical and superhard material manufacturing industries with its advantages of high speed, high precision, high reliability, low cost maintenance and intelligence.
