Solutions and applications
Deburring and brushing station for planetary carriers
Time-efficient, robot-controlled deburring of planetary carriers
Based on our TECHTORY-floor-cell with a rotary indexing table, two planet gear carriers are machined simultaneously in this system. In this process, the mounting bores of the planetary gears are deburred in a single operation and all additional burrs produced during machining are removed in the subsequent stations.
The use of our standardized products ensures an extremely economical machining process.
Special features:
- Use of standardized TECHTORY products
- Efficient machining on a rotary indexing table
- Parallel machining of two planet gear carriers
- Machining of non-circular bores by robots
- Automatic loading and unloading through TECHTORY-x-portal

Robot cell to punch 2D films automatically
Automatic hardcoat film punching
In this line, hardcoat polycarbonate films are punched automatically in a 3-shift operation. The films are provided with a protective film on one side.
The entire machining process runs automatically in a robot cell. A robot removes the films one by one before correcting the position supported by a camera and placing the films in a press. The punched films are removed from the press by an independent linear handling system and deposited in another stacking box. Loading and unloading are carried out by the operator via drawer magazines. The production cycle inside of the cell is not disturbed during the process.
Special features:
- High output and short payback period due to short cycle time
- Fast set-up times for product changes
- Trouble-free loading and unloading of the plant and extremely long loading intervals
- Best possible conditions in terms of cleanliness and accuracy

Robot cell – automation cleaning system and deburring process
Robot-assisted deburring, workpiece transport by means of workpiece carrier system
The cleaning and machining process of various motorhousings upstream and downstream of a customer’s existing cleaning system was almost completely automated in this project.
Different types of housings are manually placed on coded workpiece carriers. The transport takes place via a chain roller conveyor with accumulating function. A camera station inspects the housings for various features, for selection of the associated brushing programs. An essential part of the automation is the robot cell. The parts are deburred in this cell by feeding them to different brushes using the robot.
After washing by the customer, the housings are returned to the conveyor system with buffer section. After manual removal, the workpiece carriers are finally moved automatically into the associated logistics module in the workpiece carrier magazine.
Special features:
- High degree of automation through camera station and robot operation
- Robot cell with two gripper units for different housing types
- Enclosed brush deburring with low dust and noise pollution
- Workpiece transport by means of workpiece carrier system, buffer and pallet store

Mobile human-robot collaboration: machine loading with our robo-cell
Automated loading of a CNC machining center with our mobile robot platform
In order to achieve particularly user-friendly working conditions, the automated loading of a CNC milling center was implemented under collaborative conditions. In this process a cobot that is placed onto our robot platform takes on the loading process.
The collaborative features allow close cooperation with the worker without the need for a safety enclosure. The unmachined and finished parts are picked up by a gripper with special protection properties. Opening and closing as well as clamping and releasing of the parts in the machine vice operates automatically.
Special features:
- Improvement of multi-machine operation
- Increase in production capacities
- Machine room can easily be accessed by the operator
- Possible to use cobots from a wide range of manufacturers
- Universal locating plate
- High level of protection due to ground sensors
