Inverted Robot Trimming

Task

Manufacturer focusing on router trimming mud flaps for the automotive/truck aftermarket required ability to produce larger parts and increase production. Serving a broad range of industries, they also work with wood and foam and wanted the capability to mill these and other materials via an automated robotic system.

Solution

KMT Robotic Solutions, Inc. (formerly Robotic Production Technology, Inc.) delivered a system incorporating a GÜDEL Trackmotion single axis robotic slide allowing for inverted mounting of an articulating arm robot to perform the operations required over a 4 meter work zone. Servo controlled turntable allows for increased throughput by separating part load/unload from part processing.

Scope of supply

Inverted Trackmotion TM-72 with Heavy Duty Support Structure Providing High Rigidity; Stroke = 4,000mm; Overall Beam Length = 6,000mm.

Result

Achieving efficient, accurate and reliable results on a wide range of products and materials. Expanded work zone capability and increased throughput have added to the company's offering in the marketplace.
