Robotic grinding cell with a KAWASAKI RS50N robot

Robotic grinding cell with a KAWASAKI RS50N robot was built in 2018 in Italy by DAN di De Antoni Srl. The system is designed for the automatic grinding of aluminium castings, door handles and other components that require a precise surface finish. The cell can also be adapted for polishing and other finishing processes.

Grinding takes place within a closed work space using a specially designed grinding unit. It is equipped with two vertical grinding wheels and an intelligent pressure force system that automatically adjusts the pressure force during operation. This solution effectively removes surface irregularities and ensures repeatable machining results, which is particularly important in mass production. Any contamination generated during grinding is removed on an ongoing basis.

The robotic grinding station is equipped with a KAWASAKI RS50N grinding robot with a payload of 50 kg, characterised by high motion dynamics and positioning precision. The robot cooperates with a pneumatic manipulator, which feeds successive workpieces to its gripper, enabling the continuous execution of work cycles without the need for manual operation of the devices. The operation of the station is also facilitated by a carousel feeder, ensuring an efficient flow of workpieces. The robotic grinding system is an excellent solution for production facilities involved in the machining of aluminium, castings and other workpieces.
