Pre-Engineered Robotic Cells Discription
ACTRobots Pre-Engineered Systems are designed for quick and easy integration into customers production stream at the lowest possible cost. The cells come equipped with state-of-the-art finishing tools, robotic arm, part presentation, optional operator interface, custom gripper fingers and customized part fixtures. All pre-engineered systems come with self diagnostics and alarms. Also included; complete program structure ready to accept part specific motion routines and other systems such as ACTView HMI, vision, laser scanners, and more are fully integrated into the cells controls system. The only thing left for the end users are to mount part specific gripper fingers and fixtures and program specific motion routines linking them to the main control program structure.

Typical Pre-Engineered Robotic Cells
1. Part-to-Media: where parts are manipulated by the robotic arm through a sequence of finishing media such as abrasive belts and wheels. Typical parts processed in these cells are: wrenches, pliers, levers, faucet components, blade, vanes and more. Most parts can be individually or batch loaded. The limitation is the payload capacity of the robotic arm used (up to 300kg) and the size of the parts. 2. Media-to-Part: where the parts are stationary or on a rotary or tilt positioner and the robotic arm manipulates a variety of tools with finishing media. Media includes; belts, composite wheels, brushes, buffs, deburring bits, and more. Typical parts processed are: IBR's/Blisks, compressor diskd, and other turbine large rotating parts, large blades, sinks, tubs, automotive frames, and more. These parts are usually single loaded or a few may be staged using a part presentation indexer. 3. Hybrid Part-Media Presentation: parts mat be manipulated through the finishing media and/or may be placed in fixtures and tools equipped with abrasive may be brought to the parts for finishing of small or intricate features. This type of cell provides ultimate flexibility in automated finishing applications. Typical parts may include blades or vanes, where most of the part may be finished using belt or wheel stations for quick processing with long media life. However some features such as small holes and cavities may only be processed by manipulating small media (deburring, bits, belts, wheels) with the part being held in a stationary fixture. Other parts may include covers and plates, frames. Parts may be single or batch loaded.
