I am looking at the idea of using a robot for grinding cast iron parts and want to know what is the standard for this; like taking the part to the grinding wheel or taking a wheel the the part.
John:
Depends upon the part and process. We are looking at deflashing some office chair legs right now and are going through this evaluation process.
I could answer better if I had more application information

I am preparing an application for deburring alum die casting part. The flashing can go 20mil to 50 mil. What will be the best tool and spindle to use for that kind of application, and will a FANUC 710ic50 with handling software do the job? Regards
We are currently doing a flash removal project for an Aluminum Die cast Part through one of our Integrator Partners. Contact me at 248-446-4211 fro furthur information
We are looking to see if there is a Robot manufacturer that has had great success with loading plastic cutlery. The cutlery would be in hoppers and would need a way of putting cutlery where the robots would pick and place them. Speed would be 180-210 per minute.
Our newest line of robots will be able to do this project. We will have this robot at PackExpo in Las Vegas week of October 1 - Booth #C2527. Or ring me at 248-760-6996 for more information on this system.
5 axiz CNC v Robotic arm - Our company manufactures thermoformed polycarbonate windshields for various industries, Motorsport, forestry vehicles, Aircraft and we have been looking to purchase a typical gantry based 5 axis CNC for trimming the windows, for what we do we are lookig at a huge machine- It has been suggested to look at a robotic arm with a routing spindle and having a quick look has made me realise that a robotic arm would give us the flexibility that we have been struggling to get, My question (and i guess this may be a stupid question) - are they going to be as accurate as a gantry mounted CNC, and can they work from trimming small parts (size of a classic car headlamp cover) in 2mm polycarbonate up to large 2.5m x 1.3m x 12mm thick polycarbonate ?

Hello Paul, I also agree with the consensus from the other members. Eric mentions the need for a good CAD/CAM programming interface, which is something that we can help with. The ability to program the robot off-line based on the part geometry (versus manually selecting points in space) with save you alot of time. Let me know if you would like more information about this subject and I can have one of my colleagues in France or Germany contact you. Good luck!
