Operation
These operating instructions are intended to help system integra-
tors program, start up, and complete a robotic deburring cell con-
taining 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.
General Precautions
It is important that all personnel involved in operation of the FDB
have a thorough understanding of the operating procedures. Fail-
ure to follow these or neglecting safety precautions can create
hazardous situations which may, in the worst case, injure person-
nel 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 debur-
ring 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. Mate-
rial 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 debur-
ring 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
DANGER
• Never use the FDB in a manner to produce axial loads.
• Never use the FDB for countersinking or drilling.
