15284
Dual cell with Center Part Feed Conveyor
ACT-15284 is a robotic grinding/polishing system made up of 2 robotic cells and a part feed conveyor. The conveyor detects parts fed in standard plastic trays and automatically distributes them to robotic cells for processing. Then, the parts are picked up from simple tray nests using vision and processed on the belt, 2 abrasive wheels, and/or drill/reamer stations. Finished parts are dropped on the exit chute to be collected in customer bins. The robots automatically pick the tool/gripper from the magazine based on the incoming part number.
