Project objectives
Until now, the company used to deburr the lampshades by hand. An automatic machine has been designed and manufactured in its entirety to improve both the process and the ergonomics and work quality of the operators. The machine process consists of pressing the bimanual, lowering the protection panel, starting the rotation of the tool and part, and then lowering the head to make contact with the part by deburring it. At the end of the cycle, the workpiece table automatically moves to remove the workpiece and insert the new one.
