West Titanium Robot Floating Deburring Spindle DeburFlex Application Case

A robot that can move on the track can remove burrs up to 20m on the generator shaft, saving 50% - 80%. Shortest downtime and setup time can be achieved with a virtual tutorial (Teach-in), and robotic machining software can be set up and simulated offline.
When the burr of the generator shaft is removed, the burrs of the partial position need to be repeatedly processed and removed, so the total length of the working line to be processed for completing a generator shaft deburring operation exceeds 1km: removing the grooves, threads and gaps on the shaft of the large generator The burrs of holes and holes are currently usually handled by hand, which is particularly time consuming, such as in hydroelectric plants and lignite power plants (Figure 1). In order to realize the automatic deburring of large generator shafts, we have now realized the automatic removal of burrs by a robot unit. The result of using the robot is that the robot can save 50% - 80% of the working time compared to the traditional method of deburring.

The robot unit can be driven on a single rail and machined a generator shaft with a deburring tool such as the DeburFlex 250 to a total length of 1 km.
The robot's strength lies in the software and database concept, setting up the robot's machining program, and then further implementing the machining program through off-line programming and 3D simulation (Figure 2). Then, the configuration programming and matching of the machining operations are carried out directly on the robot device using a WinCC user interface.

The machining program is set up and simulated offline on a 3D model of the unit and a generator shaft that needs to be machined.
Take a virtual tutorial (Teach -in) to reduce downtime
The core part of the robot unit is a 6-axis industrial robot running on a monorail up to 20m long. The robot moves along the generator axis above the generator shaft weighing more than 60 tons, using a variety of different Pneumatically driven, flexiblely assembled tools (such as cymbals, brushes, milling cutters, countersinks and scrapers) to remove burrs from their contours. The generator shaft is placed on a dedicated rail that can be rotated during machining operations to remove burrs (Figure 3).
At present, the robot unit has been used to perform burr removal operations for more than 100 different generator shafts on which thousands of holes, grooves or gaps in the generator shaft have been machined. In addition to the optimized burr removal effect, the use of the device also saves time. In addition, the use of the device for deburring also minimizes production costs and minimizes the downtime required to assemble equipment. Because the burr generator shaft profile needs to be removed, it is necessary to choose the teaching of the robot (Teachen). For this reason, we have developed a unique Teach-in software and database concept in this way.

The West Deuterium DeburFlex 250 floating deburring spindle tool enables good results in deburring the generator shaft
The machining program of the robot is set and simulated offline on a 3D model of the device and on the generator shaft to be machined. All parameters and adjustment data are entered into the database. Job process control and process visualization are combined in a database. In this way, the operator of the device can flexibly complete the configuration programming and matching of the deburring program by using the WinCC user interface. In this way, the order of the robots can also be selected.
Equipment flexibility and quality of work have been improved
The virtual and realistic axes are identical due to the ability to accurately measure the generator shaft to be machined. During the movement of the measurement, the robot detects some selected measurement points by means of a laser sensor and supplies more data to a digital level. By means of these results, the radial displacement displacement and the rotational displacement of the generator shaft are detected.
Since the job programming of the device can be implemented offline and the operation is flexible, the possibility of a new overall technical solution of the virtual tutorial (Teach-in) is realized. In this way, the device not only shortens the downtime and equipment assembly time during the operation, but also improves the flexibility of the work and the processing quality of the workpiece.
