In modern manufacturing, flexibility is a key success factor—especially in the die casting industry, where smaller batch sizes and high part variability are standard. Flexible automation solutions offer a clear competitive advantage. Mössner’s robotic deburring cell is designed precisely with this in mind: it combines precision, adaptability, and efficiency in a compact unit.
Workpieces enter the cell via an infeed conveyor, where they are identified by a camera system and precisely picked up by a robot. Inside the cell, various processing tools are available: belt grinders, pivoting and rigid deburring spindles, and pneumatic files ensure maximum versatility in the deburring of a wide range of cast parts.
The processing tools are permanently installed within the cell, while the robot guides the workpieces to the relevant stations. This workpiece-guided processing allows for rapid switching between operations—without the need for mechanical retooling.
Once deburring is complete, the workpieces are transported out of the cell via an outfeed conveyor. An integrated extraction system ensures that grinding dust is safely and effectively removed.
Key Advantages at a Glance:
-
Maximum flexibility through the use of multiple tools: belt grinders, deburring spindles, pneumatic files
-
Compact cell design with minimal footprint
-
Quick changeovers thanks to a unified control concept that enables intuitive integration of new workpiece types
-
Digital twin: ABB RobotStudio allows for offline programming and reachability testing—minimizing commissioning times and enhancing planning reliability
-
Large observation windows for full visibility and process transparency
-
Integrated extraction system specifically designed for safe removal of grinding dust
Centralized Control via the Robot
All machining processes are centrally controlled via the robot, enabling streamlined coordination and real-time adaptability. New programs and processing routines can be created and modified independently, significantly increasing responsiveness to new production requirements.
August Mössner GmbH + Co. KG specializes in custom-built solutions across mechanical engineering, automation, and robotics. With approximately 140 employees, Mössner executes large-scale projects while maintaining the flexibility required for bespoke systems. At its Eschach site, the company develops, manufactures, assembles, and commissions machinery and systems worldwide.
