Dusty and noisy working conditions and repetitive movements in unpleasant positions, leading to the risk of RSI, are typical problems associated with traditional manual deburring, which also often results in poor or variable quality. Fastems has launched its new DBL robotic deburring cell, which removes burrs efficiently and to a consistent, selectable quality standard, allowing operators to concentrate on other tasks (Figure 2).

DBL is a standard, modular system built to provide a customer with the best solution for his application. The cell can work as a stand-alone unit or as a part of an FMS, as at the exhibition. It can be installed in a day and moved from one place to another easily if the factory layout changes. The cell is equally appropriate for medium or large batch production as it is for repetitive production of large single pieces that require a lot of deburring.
It is possible to use CAD geometry of the component to program the deburring cycle, rather than having to create the program using the teach-in method. The result is faster programming, which may take place in advance of a physical part becoming available.
