With image recognition software, a robot, and a sophisticated handling strategy, the Liebherr solution picks up parts from a container, and then accurately positions them onto fixtures, production lines, or assembly lines.


The potential for productivity and efficiency improvements is huge.


through coolant holder on machine tools which allows coolant to be applied from the center of the tool. The Nampower brush combines two different abrasive types in the same tool; a ceramic filament is designed for material removal and a silicon carbide filament to provide a better finish which allows us to rough and finish a part at the same time,” said Miller.

Micro-Blasting for Small Precision Parts As today’s manufacturing processes have enabled the fabrication of smaller and more intricate parts, traditional deburring methods using hand tools to carefully remove burrs have proven to be no longer adequate. For deburring small parts, Micro-Abrasive Blasting from Comco Inc. (Burbank, CA) has proven to be an effective method for removing fine burrs on small parts with complex geome- tries without causing dimensional changes to the part. Typical parts include medical devices, including hypodermic needles and stents, as well as fuel injectors, gear splines, hydraulic valves, mold cavities, nozzles, and electronic components. The micro-abrasive blasting process involves finding the right combination of abrasive, nozzle size and air pres- sure to quickly cut off the burr. Abrasive particles are projected through a small nozzle at roughly a quarter of the speed of sound and directed to burrs by hand or when arrayed in semiautomated systems for high-volume production. When deburring complex parts like manifolds or injections, it’s important to be able to reach down inside a part. Because these types of parts have intri- cate shapes that are difficult to deburr using hand tools, Comco has developed a variety of extended and right-angle nozzles that enable the operator to blast burrs from these hard to reach areas. Typical materials that can be deburred with micro-abrasive blasting include
