Overview: Intelligent linkage of the process stepsDeburring and leveling can now be largely automated. However, the diverse spectrum of jobs complicates the suppliers’ processes. As such, effectively linking the individual machine elements to create a smooth and uninterrupted chain is the ideal means of achieving efficient sheet metal processing. ARKU has developed a connected system which combines leveling and deburring machines. The sheet metal part only has to be placed on a conveyor and the parts are then run through the machines. If desired, robots can handle the part feeding and removal enabling the implementation of highly automated processes for many applications.
