Robotic Sand Milling Cell

Full Description

Robotic Sand Milling Cell. Summary: This robotic sand milling cell is designed to take sand blanks and machine all required gating, runners, and features directly into the mold or core. The system centers around a Kuka robot equipped with a high-speed spindle and a table that can move vertically for milling operations. This approach significantly reduces manual gating labor while improving dimensional consistency and turnaround time. In addition to sand milling, the cell includes a pellet-fed plastic extruder, enabling large-format plastic printing for tooling, fixtures, patterns, or prototype parts. Both working tables pictured (3D printing table and sand milling table) are also included in the purchase. ________________________________________ Concerns: Integration Effort: While the core hardware is in place, some setup and commissioning effort should be expected when deploying in a new environment. Application-Specific Tooling: Current tooling will be provided but more may need to be purchased depending on user needs ________________________________________ Location: The printer is located on the first floor of TechWorks in Waterloo: 360 Westfield Ave, Waterloo, Iowa 50701 ________________________________________ Removal Instructions: Due to the size, weight, and robotic nature of the system, professional removal is required. Disassembly, rigging, and transport should be handled by a qualified robotics integrator or industrial machinery mover. ________________________________________
