The Objective

Perform automatic deburring of the holes on the axles

Criticalities and customer requests

Operate automatically with an interlocking system

The need to operate automatically with an interlocking system presented the following problems to be addressed. The plant therefore had to be able to:

  • autonomously recognize the loaded tree and consequently manage and adapt the correct process parameters.
  • contain the noise generated by the flow of the abrasive inside the trees
  • operate continuously “masking” the material reload times
  • guarantee performance and repeatability of the process
Norblast Solution

Use of Compressed air technology,

Norblast LAB, referring to the customer’s process specifications, has carried out various deburring tests to identify the right process parameters (pressure, flow rate and grain size).

Subsequently, it identified the satellite solution for the construction of the plant suitable for meeting the required productivity.

The use of a double-chamber engine has made it possible to optimize the management of charging times..

A specially designed reading system allows the plant to interpret the characteristics of the loaded shaft and automatically adjust the process parameters according to the particular loaded, making the plant extremely flexible to production variability.

The use of Compressed air technology, has allowed the Customer to use a completely automated system capable of adequately removing all the burrs present and eliminating any residues from previous processes.
