6.2 Working Environment
As described in previous sections the FDB should only be used in
an automated cell/chamber.
The work cell must be secured by means of barriers to prohibit
personnel from entering the cell. A lockable door should be
included as a part of the barrier in order to facilitate access to the
cell for authorized personnel only. The barrier could consist partly
or fully of Plexiglas to facilitate observation of the deburring
operations.
During system or FDB maintenance, make sure the FDB and robot
are stopped before entering the robot cell. When installing and
testing, never be present in the cell when the FDB is running.
Be aware of rotating parts. Use eye-protection while working
around the FDB.
Be aware of high sound levels. While the FDB air motor is not loud,
the cutting action associated with deburring frequently is. Always
use hearing protection while working in the neighborhood of the
deburring cell.
6.3 Operational Considerations
For instructions on how to replace the burr, please
consult
.
In many robotic deburring applications, including steel and
aluminum, no cooling or lubrication of the rotary burr is necessary.
For some materials and situations, the addition of coolants or
compressed air may aid the cutting process. If it is determined that
liquid coolants are required, a non-oil, cutting type should be used
to prevent premature wear of the spindle bearing.
Burr selection is discussed in

6.4 Lock axis for compensation in one direction (FDB 900 / FDB
1040)
The deburring spindle has an axis lock function to limit the
compensation path to the X axis. For this purpose, 4 hexagon
socket cheese-head screws M4 x 16 are included in the scope of
delivery.
CAUTION
Screws of unsuitable length for the locking axis can cause
damage.
The deburring spindle can get damaged. Personal injury may
result due to a malfunction.
•
only use M4 x 16 mm hexagon socket screws to lock the axis.
