Robotic Part Extraction
Tired of bottlenecks in your die casting operation? ComTech's robotic extraction cell is engineered to streamline your process from start to finish. This intelligent system precisely unloads castings from your die casting machine, then performs a series of post-casting tasks like cooling, loading a trim press, or part ID marking. Built to handle a wide range of die casting machines—from 200 to 6,100 tons—our robotic solution is a powerful way to enhance productivity, improve safety, and ensure consistent quality in your facility.
Standard List of Deliverables
- FANUC Robot: A high-precision robot selected to perfectly match your die-casting machine, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
- Robot Riser: Custom-engineered to position the robot for ideal reach and cycle time.
- End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT): A custom tool designed to securely extract your finished castings, preventing damage.
- Parts Sensor Tree: An integrated sensor system for real-time part detection, reducing errors and scrap. These sensors can be mounted onto the extract robot itself to reduce cycle time between extraction and confirmation of successful part removal.
- Cell Guarding: A complete safety system that meets industry standards, ensuring a secure work environment.
- Cell Control & Software: Our intuitive software makes operation easy and provides seamless integration with your factory. We pride ourselves on the ease with which new models can be taught into our program framework.
- Runoff & Installation: We provide professional on-site installation and testing to guarantee a smooth and fast launch.
Optional Equipment
- QC or Scrap Chute: Automatically sort and divert parts that fail quality checks or are identified as scrap.
- Laser Marking Station: Add a Laser Marking System to the extraction cell to have each part marked with the data associated with it, such as its model, shot, and DCM number before it leaves the cell and tracking becomes difficult.
- Parts Conveyor: Transport finished parts from the robot cell to the next stage of production, eliminating manual handling.
- Cooling Station or Conveyor: Cool parts prior to the next process, or as they move on the conveyor using one of our custom Cooling Systems.
- Quench Tank: Rapidly cool hot castings with one of our custom Quench Tanks to improve part integrity and prepare them for further processing.
- Degate Station or Trim Press: Integrate trimming directly into the cell with one of our Trim Presses or robot mounted Degating Tools, creating a more finished product and eliminating a separate manual step.
- Spray Package on End of Arm Tooling: Use the extraction robot as the spray robot too with an auxiliary EOAT to apply spray to the die after extraction.
