Manufacturers constantly seek to optimize their processes through robotics, but for those new to automation, the first deployment can feel daunting. While the initial robot deployment is often the most challenging, true success comes from planning for future expansions. Automation, much like the machine tools it serves, should be seen as a long-term, flexible investment.
This presentation covers key considerations for automating machine tending and participants will explore practical strategies to boost productivity and reduce manual labor, with real-world examples ranging from simple cost-effective solutions to advanced complex applications.
Robots in machine tool operations often have idle time between cycles. Instead of letting them sit dormant, utilizing this downtime for secondary tasks—such as material removal—can significantly boost efficiency. This session dives into the world of automated material removal, covering what it is, why it's essential, and how to implement it effectively.
Attendees will gain insights into the benefits and challenges of robotic material removal and discover how different methods can be used to address workpiece defects. Real-world examples will highlight how automation can be successfully integrated and deployed to increase productivity and reduce human error, making material removal a more streamlined and effective process.
