A FANUC 6-axis M-16iB robot picks a raw part from the conveyor and then loads the Makino mill. The full articulation of the FANUC 6-axes robot allows secondary operations, like deburring, to be done. The robot places the part from the first mill on the re-grip stand and picks the next raw part. The robot performs a gripper change to allow the part to be reoriented for the 2nd Makino mill. The finished part is removed from the 2nd mill, it is then reoriented and placed on the exit conveyor. The partially finished part is picked from the re-grip stand, reoriented, and loaded to the 2nd Makino mill. |
