Grinding and deburring Overlapping waves

The tool presses on the surface with constant force and makes overlapping passes. Hold that force steady, and the finish comes out even.

Grinding and deburring process path plate: the tool path traced many times over (overlapping waves). The open circle marks the start, the filled dot the end.

Process sequence

One path, four steps.

Scroll down and each step lights up in copper on the plate.

Grinding and deburring sequence, plan view: the same cell seen from above. The numbers match the steps.

  1. 1. Load

    The part goes into the fixture against its datum surfaces.

  2. 2. Probe the surface

    The tool touches down lightly to find the real surface.

  3. 3. Sand

    It sands in overlapping passes at the set force.

  4. 4. Change the abrasive

    After a set number of parts, the abrasive is replaced.

Design points

Designing the cell: three things first.

  1. 1. Force before position

    Part dimensions vary. Hold the force rather than the position, and the surface comes out even.

  2. 2. Step-over: half the tool width

    Too little overlap leaves stripes, and too much costs time. Start at about half the tool width and fine-tune with trial runs.

  3. 3. Keep the dust in the cell

    Place the extraction duct close to the tool and fit the robot with a protective cover.

Products

Grinding and deburring are dusty, noisy, high-vibration jobs, and every person presses a little differently. A robot holds the same force under force control and repeats the same overlapping path.

HG-C cobots measure and hold contact force with the torque sensors in all six joints. For heavy tools or large parts, fit an HG-R25-18 with a force sensor.

A sanding cell always includes dust extraction. Worn abrasives are changed automatically at an exchange station.
