COSMAP IR + TR
Robotic grinding cell combined with a CNC polishing rotary table
COSMAP IR + TR is a processing isle that joins a robotic grinding station with a rotary table for CNC polishing, synchronised so that every rotation delivers a ground, polished and finished piece.

Overview
Fast grinding matched to slower polishing
The IR + TR is a distributed system based on Lean Manufacturing and processing efficiency. It joins an isle with a robot for grinding and a rotary table for polishing. The two concepts have one thing in common: both are managed around cycle time.
The aim is to absorb every processing step within one cycle time, synchronising the fast grinding process with the slower polishing process. Each rotation delivers a piece that is ground, polished and therefore finished.
Each isle can have an automatic loading/unloading system suited to the product, such as a double pallet system, a belt or a vertical/drum loader. Isles can be single, double or triple, depending on production needs.
Applications
What the IR + TR is used for
Grinding and polishing are combined in one cycle, so parts leave the isle finished.
CNC polishing
CNC polishing units on the rotary table finish the ground parts.
Unattended production
Long periods of operation without an operator.
