Recommended Use Cases

Deburring Robot Automation: Burr Removal on Ibarri Parts — Seriously This Easy?! 😮

A robotic deburring system that automatically removes burrs (BURR) generated on the machined surfaces of nickel parts applied to Honda Accord vehicles using two robots. Collaboration between a positioning robot and a deburring robot. For areas where the deburring tool cannot access, a dedicated deburring device is configured to fully perform deburring on complex-shaped machined surfaces. Integrated with the machining line to implement full-process automation, including deburring, washing, inspection, rust prevention, and packaging.
