Gear manufacturer achieves consistent quality with automated robot cell (mp4)

Gear and gearbox manufacturer Katsa Oy commissioned Flexmill Oy to design and build a robotised cell to finish-machine and deburr gears ranging in size from 50 mm to 1.5 m diameter. The bespoke, turnkey cell incorporates Renishaw RMP60 probes, mounted on custom-designed tool holders, which an ABB robot uses to collect vital part-location data before finishing and deburring operations commence.
