Robot chamfering machine for tube industry
PROVEA, which specialises in designing
and manufacturing machines for the
tube industry, has introduced its latest
project – a robot chamfering machine.
The robotic unit was first shown during
the recent 2016 Tube Düsseldorf fair.
The RU series is made to process
external and internal chamfer or
deburring (after a cutting process, for
instance). TheRUseries is able to provide
homogeneous chamfering despite a lack
of roundness and co-axiality of the tube.
High accuracy, repeatability and
productivity are the main advantages
of the RU series. The robot trajectory
is adapted to the product (shape and
size), so there is no need to change tool
when changing the product shape. The
range of product is large with the same
machine and the same tool (from 10mm
up to 300mm overall).
The RU series also provides multiple
integration opportunities: straight
tubes or bent tubes, both tube ends
are chamfered simultaneously or
successively with several tubes at
the same time and can be square,
rectangular or oval.
The operator enters the data on the
touch control panel (inside and outside
tube diameters and shape, number
of rotations, step, depth, mill size and
speed). Rotation speed of the mandrel
is pneumatically controlled. The tube is
taken by the pliers and brought to the
removable stop as a reference position.
After being detected against the stop,
the jaws are closed in order to centre
and hold the tube during the process.
Once the tube is clamped, its position is
guaranteed in the working axis. The stop
moves down and the robot starts its cycle.
During the process, the tube remains still
thanks to the pliers. The mandrel starts a
few milimetres away from the tube and
smoothly penetrates into the tube during
the process. This provides a clean, regu-
lar and repeatable chamfer.
