Any Shape

Any Angle

URC Automation makes fixed station 6 axis robot router systems that do secondary operations such as routing and drilling on non-metallic parts.

Three light curtain, robot zoned, operator load and unload stations.

Robot cell is a 10' x 10'  footprint and can be expanded to 12' x 12' by adding additional safety panels.  Custom sizes can be designed.

A service door is in the back of the cell and provides maintenance and part programming access.

A safety switch on the door prevents motion of the robot if the door is left open.

The teach pendant overrides the safety switch for part teaching.

Unlimited number of part programs.

Three point parallel and rotational shift for adjusting positions.

Shape Generation software option for circles, slots and other geometric shapes.

HandlingPro off-line programming option with Cell calibration software to transfer off-line programs to the router.  Uses IGES files.
 

Quick-change tool changer with one router and one drill.  Four additional tools can be added.

Built in diagnostics.

High up-time system designed for 24/7 operation.

URC can design and build fixtures for your parts.

URC 6 Axis Robot Router with 3 Stations

Excellent value and performance!   Installation and operator training is included in the 2007 price of $115,500 (one station) - $139,500 (three stations) depending on number of stations.  Custom configurations are available.

Each operator loading station is protected by a 'hand-barrier' light curtain.  Inside the cell, the robot is zoned with light curtains (or sensors, depending on configuration).  When the robot is away from a loading zone, the operator can load and unload the station while the robot works at another station. 

Large work-pieces that need material removal on only one end can be fixtured so that a part of the work-piece extends outside of the cell.  The light curtains are programmable to ignore the portion blocking the curtains.  This allows for easier loading of large bulky parts while maintaining safety.

Each station has controls for two nests.  This allows the robot to run two different part programs at the same time at one station for small parts.

When utilizing two or three stations at the same time, the operator handling time can be eliminated from the cycle time of the part.  Each station can run different programs from the other station.  

Quick change cutting tools with automatic tool covers are utilized in all of our Robot Router cells.  This allows a very flexible approach for the cutting process.  Right angle drills and routers, step drills and a variety of router bits can be utilized to cut almost any plastic part at any angle.

Intermediate non-cutting robot motion approaches speeds of 80 in/sec resulting in reduced cycle times.  This system cranks out the parts fast! 

Cutting feed-rates can be easily adjusted.  Controlled router feed-rate gives a more consistent part finish and a longer tool life as the operator is not handling the tools. Consumable costs of router and drill bits decrease dramatically when the using the robot to router.
