Comau + SIEMENS for FENIX (case093)

A Comau 6-axis articulated robot Racer 7-1.4 equipped with a SINUMERIK 840D sl CNC control operating next to the machine tool is perfectly suited for hybrid applications of machine tending and deburring

Our approach

FENIX SRL in Italy specializes in Tangential Surface Grinders of its own design, with alternating movement and rotary table. They brought together the benefits of combining the traditional machine tools with a robot using SINUMERIK 840D sl to boost their production efficiency.

The Comau Racer 7-1.4 is equipped with a gripper and a spindle. It is loading and unloading the part from the grinding machine and in between operations it is deburring the part preparing it for the next grinding operation on the machine tool, hence increasing the machine productivity by saving time in the whole manufacturing process.

 

Fenix Srl was born in 2011, combining the experience acquired over the years by technicians from companies already operating in the sector of construction of grinding machines (including the historical FAVRETTO SPA-IMT).

FENIX SRL is able to partially or totally overhaul the grinders produced by historical FAVRETTO SPA-IMT until 2015.

Thanks to their skills, we are able to solve any type of problem on this tangential surface grinders. Since 2017, FENIX SRL has been producing Tangential Surface Grinders of its own design, with alternating movement and rotary table.

 

 

HOW IT WORKS

  • Thanks to the wide range of precise and fast Comau robots and the SINUMERIK Run MyRobot/ Direct Control concept, that allows the robot arm to be fully integrated into any machine tool with SINUMERIK 840D sl system.
  • The direct control concept eliminates the need of an additional robot controller and significantly simplifies the configuration of the controller hardware and optimizes the spare parts management process. In this way the robot is programmed and operated directly from the SINUMERIK using G-code that leverages all the CNC functionalities.
  • Robot is easily programmed on the second channel of the machine tool, that simplifies the synchronization between the machine tool and robot part program. The unique SINUMERIK-controlled robot technology provides further improvements regarding accuracy and dynamics, together with the benefits arising from a single-source controller concept.
