Operation
6 Operation
These operating instructions are intended to help system
integrators program, start up, and complete a robotic deburring
cell containing a deburring tool and a deburring installation
containing a FDB deburring spindle. The system integrator should
be familiar with the task of deburring in general and should have
extensive knowledge of programming and automation.
6.1 General Precautions
It is important that all personnel involved in operation of the FDB
have a thorough understanding of the operating procedures.
Failure to follow these or neglecting safety precautions can create
hazardous situations which may, in the worst case, injure
personnel or damage the deburring installation and the FDB.
DANGER
Never use the FDB as a hand-held machine or for purposes
other than robotic or automated deburring.
If used in any other way, serious injury or damage to equipment
may occur.
Countersinking and other axial metal-forming processes should
not be performed by the FDB. It may be dangerous to operate the
FDB deburring tool for these purposes. If a failure occurs due to
forces caused by improper use, hazardous situations for both
personnel and equipment could be created. The FDB is intended to
perform deburring only.
The FDB should not be used to deburr materials that are prone to
fracture. A fracturing workpiece may result in pieces of material
damaging surrounding working environment and personnel.
Material removed correctly should be in the form of chips.
Reduce the feed rate when the work piece and the FDB are making
initial contact. Making the contact movement between the
deburring tool and the work piece too fast may in some situations
result in a collision. Collisions may create hazardous situations for
both personnel and equipment.
When performing maintenance, always remember to tighten nuts
and bolts. When replacing burrs, always be sure to attach the burr
correctly. Please consult
DANGER
•
Never use the FDB in a manner to produce axial loads.
•
Never use the FDB for countersinking or drilling.
