Comau + CEAD (case023)

A Comau NJ-60 robot arm for 3D printing and milling of large, fiber-reinforced polymer parts for F1 cars.

Our approach

The machine consists of a Comau robot arm controlled by Sinumerik Run MyRobot /Direct Control and equipped with a single milling spindle to achieve excellent precision on complex 3D surfaces.

Siemens Sinumerik is used to directly control the Comau robot arm, without the need for a robot controller, enabling increased robot and positioning accuracy while travelling along a path.

Benefits

01

HW reduction increases MTBF.

02

The elimination of an additional robot controller produces benefits for spare-part inventory and reduces the space needed for electrical equipment.

03

The full range of CNC functionalities is available to the robot, which ensures optimized path control

04

Cost-effective monitoring of fault states and integration of in-house service and maintenance processes.

05

Robot-specific programming know-how is not required.

06

Easy synchronization of processes between machine tools and robots.

07

Simple optimization of work processes on machine tools.
