Andrew, I can definitely say "probably". This vintage of ABB robots are good robots for deburring/deflashing because of their stiffness.

In general, yhe suitability of a robot for the application depends on part weight (if the robot is carrying the part), and how much material needs to be removed from the casting. When utilizing older robots, you need to consider any repairs that need to be done, and to a lesser extent, the expected life of the automation cell.

If you could send me some information on the robots (Serial numbers), and pictures of the parts you want to process, before and after milling, I could take a look and give you some direction.

Thanks, Mark

Christine, I'm coming into this party a couple of weeks late, but Rimrock is a robotics systems integrator, specializing in foundry applications. By your description, it sounds like you application is investment casting. Please give me a call to review your application at your convenience.
