Feed-in & decoring
The components are placed manually or fully automatically on the infeed rotary table and rotated into the grinding cell.
The handling robot removes the component from the rotary table and feeds it into the SWINGMASTER 500 decoring machine.
In the SWINGMASTER 500, the component is clamped, set into rotation, and subjected to vibration. At the same time, the sand core in the component is hydraulically broken.
After successful decoring, the handling robot removes the component from the decoring machine and feeds it to the grinding station.

Deburring & grinding
A handling robot or an alternative transport system feeds the components into the grinding stations. The combustion chamber side is machined on the machining cube in clamping position 1, while both the front and crankshaft sides are machined in clamping position 2. Four component-specific holders can be mounted on each machining cube.
Once the component has been placed in a grinding station, the machining robot starts the deburring and grinding process.
The handling robot then removes the component from the grinding cell.

The concept
At Fill, the GRIND PERFORMER combines all processes in the area of fettling & grinding of iron castings. Customised solutions are developed according to customer requirements. The system concept of the GRIND PERFORMER is developed according to customer requirements.
A wide range of variants are possible, for example
- Component in robot gripper or on fixed clamping (depending on component weight)
- Robot with quick-change system for changing different machining tools
- Robot stationary or on external axis
- Components positioned on rotary table or fixed
- Various special solutions in combination with other FILL technologies, e.g. decoring machines or optical inspection systems
The GRIND PERFORMER can be operated as a stand-alone machine or in combination with several machines as required. The components are fed into the GRIND PERFORMER manually or automatically.
Features
