This robotic machine tending cell is designed to deburr aluminum castings. The cell includes a Fanuc LR mate robot with an ATI radially compliant deburring tool and is designed for manual intervention. The operator will manually load the desired casting into a custom designed fixture that clamps down and detects what part is there. Once the operator is clear of the cell he or she will initiate the system. A protective door closes and the robot moves to a tool lubrication location and then guides the deburring tool about the specified paths until deburring is complete. Once finished the door will open, the operator will remove the finished part and the cycle begins again. For more information about robotic machine tending, please visit
