RAP-225 Machine Tool

The new Robot Assisted Polishing machine tool (RAP) builds on the merits of the skilled craftman, also explaining the basic idea and name of the machine system using a standard industry robot.

The RAP-225 machine tool is designed to polish 2D round workpieces like tools and components up to Ø300 x 200 mm, or Ø150 x 400 mm as well as implified 3D geometries. The machine tool consists of:

• Machine housing
• Spindle with Ø300 mm chuck
• Robot – ABB 5 kg
• Polishing module with integrated force control. A lubrication unit takes part of the machine system and is activated and controlled by the RAP programme. 
• Controls / PC interface for RAP programming and process control including both the robot assisted polishing process and a manual polishing mode (i.e. flexible operation mode built into the machine system)
• Mandatory safety features in accordance with the CE directives 

Additional Product Features:

• Internal lighting in the spindle that ensures an optimal visual inspection of the inside geometry of the workpiece
• One complete machine unit: The electric and robotic controls are integrated into the machine housing. This makes machine installation or move very easy
• Integrated outlet for power, compressed air and drawer for tools, liquids etc.
• Integrated waste bin ensuring a clean work environment
• Webcam and internet connection for internal process control and RAP Hotline
• Built-in exhaust unit with filter
