Overview
Robotic Automated Parts Finishing Machines offer comprehensive solutions for finishing needs, from product development to process improvement. The approach involves analysis, development, and implementation to meet specific finishing requirements such as production rate, cosmetic and functional finish, quality improvement, batch size, labor reduction, and safety.

Solution Development
The process begins with devising a tailored solution, followed by proving it in a lab using various equipment like robots, CNC, Straight-Line, Rotary, and off-hand machinery. High-tolerance finishing needs are ensured with precise measuring equipment.

Machine Implementation
Examples of machines that can be integrated into automatic systems include:

• Robotic Finishing Cell
• CNC Shuttle Table
• CNC Multi-Axis Integrated Finishing
• CNC Grinder

Material Handling Options
Finishing solutions can be integrated into production operations with options such as:

• Manual Feed
• Dual Pallet
• Two-station Indexing Pallet
• Four-Sided Indexing Pallet
• Vibratory Feeder
• Conveyor Feed
• Tool to Part (Six Axis)
• Tool to Part (Rotary Seventh Axis)

Operator Interface
Hammond Automatic Systems feature Cel-Vision™, a user-friendly interface providing clear machine system feedback.

Robotic Finishing Heads
Specialized finishing heads can enhance or upgrade current processes. Examples include:

• CFD-60-2: An abrasive belt grinder with passive compliance for light pressure finishing.
• AFD-132: Features active compliant force and real-time closed-loop feedback for handling abrasive belts.
• RBL-2: A dual wheel robotic finishing head for buffing and brushing, equipped with dust scoops.
