Off-the-shelf robotic lapping (grinding) system with custom designed gripper. Detachable gripper is interchangeable with other part types in a quick-changeover manner. Grinding operation to 5 microns flatness. |
Product Summary |
|
· Interchangeable grippers for multiple part configurations · Two station, rotating feed tray for continuous load / unload operation · Major components are off-the-shelf for low cost |
|
We use off-the-shelf equipment and controllers when cost / design constraints allow. Not one to reinvent the wheel, EDL selected a commercial robot for the lapping system shown here. The Robotic Lapping System is used to grind (lap) small automotive parts to within 5 microns flatness. Capable of picking up 6 pieces at a time, the custom designed gripper pics and return parts to a handling tray. The robots (there are two identical units in operations) have operated 24 hours / day, 7 days a week for over five years. |
