Automotive Machining Systems
Heavy Part Turning

In this application, nine robots service nine twin-spindle vertical turning centers. Each machining top and bottom surfaces of heavy pickup truck disk brake rotors.

Broach Loading

In this application, the robot loads two part styles of main bearing caps into a large broach. The weight of the raw casting and the long reach required to load the broach, created a dangerous situation for any human worker.

High Volume Turning

In this manufacturing plant, twelve robots machine 3.5M pitman shafts per year. Eight "flying" robots service 30 lathes and the rest unload and reload parts into CNC mills.

Engine Component Deburring

In this application, the robot handles a small part around a fixed deburr head to clean it up after machining.

Cylinder Head Cleaning

Herea manufacturer was using traditional manual loading and cleaning methods to remove chips and cutting fluid from large diesel engine cylinder heads. To improve quality and reduce injury risk they chose Opus to build a handling and cleaning system.
