Deflashing
Geku Automation have recently delivered a fully automated grinding cell to a customer in the Midlands area. The cell features a Kuka KR150 robot situated in the middle of two work stations.
The robot is able to pick the part from either station through the use of specially designed fixturing and it then grinds the relevant flash from the forging using a linisher inside the cell.
A binary code system is used on the fixturing to account for the part variants. For the parts that are too heavy to be handled by the robot, the parts are secured in the fixtures and the robot uses an automatic tool change system to pick the appropiate tool to take to the part.
Once the part has been treated it is then placed on a conveyor which transfers it out of the cell. Rise and fall gates on each station activate to allow the robot to work on one side while the operator loads fresh parts on the other without stopping production.

- Compensation on the grinders allow for excessive flash
- Hazardous and labour intensive manually
- Repeatable finish on the component
- Essential avoidance of R.S.I and white finger injury
