Glebar | Case Study: Tungsten Carbide Pin (Roughing)

View All Case Studies | View PG-9DOD Machine

Challenge: The customer wants to decrease cycle time while maintaining tight concentricity specifications for roughing a tungsten carbide pin.

Solution

The Glebar PG-9DOD addressed the challenge. The system was configured with dual fixtures, a six-axis robot and bowl feeder – decreasing cycle time by 50% by grinding two parts at a time with dual fixtures. This machine excels at grinding small diameter components which require a tight concentricity specification.

Parts are fed onto a smart conveyor from the bowl feeder.
The conveyor orients and spaces the parts.
Cameras identify imperfections. Bad parts are rejected prior to grinding.
OD machines normally process one component per cycle.
We are processing two components per cycle.
The machine also includes a safety enclosure and recycling coolant filtration system.

• Part handling is minimized by holding four parts at a time - two raw and two ground.
• Two fixtures OD grind simultaneously -- decreasing cycle time by 50%
• Built on a granite base for optimal stability and precision control.
