Cutting and Grinding.

This is a growing area with many new applications,.....the advantage of manipulator grinding and cutting is the amount of power that is available in relation to what is possible for a man.  We provide a 75 Kw grinding spindle on the end of a 6 axis manipulator.  NO software and NO programming is involved, it is a flexible tool for the external surfaces of larger castings.

For safety reasons the manipulator needs to be in a dedicated chamber with steel or brick walls which are able to contain any disc / wheel breakage. A space of roughly 8m x 9m x 6m high is required for a single cell. Production rates can be increased using a double cell configuration.
