Silberhorn in action: Highly flexible cleaning system thanks to Staubli tool changer

A new approach to robot cleaning: Silberhorn and Staubli develop a highly flexible system for cleaning industrial components after machining
After machining, components must be thoroughly cleaned to remove burrs, oil and grease and avoid quality problems. Machining companies like to integrate fully automatic cleaning systems for this purpose. A new solution developed by Silberhorn on behalf of a customer combines a robotic cleaning system with a continuous cleaning system. It cleans components in a new way: The robot does not pick up the component and feed it to various cleaning tools, but instead picks up the tool to clean the components that pass by it. This process is made possible by a special Staubli tool changer.
