On stand F32 in Hall 8b, Stäubli Robotics will demonstrate a complete solution for composites machining based on RX170 hsm (high speed machining) robot in combination with application specific software VALhsm developed by Stäubli, and Robotmaster, a CAD/CAM software powered by unicam Software.
According to Stäubli, the RX170 hsm (high speed machining) robot opens up the milling robot to new industrial uses, ranging from the machining of components in the aerospace and automotive industries, to the manufacture of wind turbine components.
The robot is designed for the integration of the high speed spindle into the forearm for improved rigidity and precision as well as reduced slanting. A selection of 3 high speed spindles is available and the spindle head can be quickly replaced. To safely control the spindle, including electrical supply, cooling and micro-lubrication, all cables run inside the arm.
Technical specifications for RX170 hsm:
- Degrees of freedom: 5
- Nominal load capacity: 60 kg
- Maximum load capacity: 65 kg
- Reach at wrist: 1835 mm
- Repeatability: ±0.04 mm
- Protection class: IP65
- Attachment methods: Floor
COMPOSITES EUROPE 2012 takes place on 9-11 October in Düsseldorf, Germany. The show is organised by Reed Exhibitions with the support of the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA), the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA), Reinforced Plastics magazine, the German engineering association VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau) and German association for reinforced plastics AVK.
