CONCEPT LINIE Sanding Line with KUKA Robot

The machine is made according to the principle of rotary robotic processing, a robotic system for sanding, which independently and automatically evaluates the path of processing the wooden part. It can process different shapes and easily adapts to other applications, such as, for example, painting. The machine was developed in Serbian-Italian cooperation and brought to fine adjustments, when we stopped due to changes in the organization of the company. The work was started in 2022, but the machine is actually new and ready to be finished or converted into an automated paint shop.

The process begins when the worker enters data about the material to be processed and thereby selects the recipe, then places the part in the initial position and activates the process. The PC collects information from the user and provides communication with the PLC, which then delivers the item using a conveyor belt.

After the object is positioned, the computer generates the image from the camera and, after processing with the help of ROSE-AP software, generates a path that will be sent to the robot during processing. In addition to the path it should follow, the Robot also receives information from the recipe about the desired force, number of revolutions and speed. By monitoring values

with sensors in real time, the Robot performs movement correction in relation to the surface it is processing. and with information from the recipe, controls the automatic orbital sander.
