Robotic machining of composite and metallic materials

Robotic machining of composite and metallic materials

Integrator of robotized machining processes, GEBE2 provides machining and trimming solutions based on the use of 6-axis polyarticulated robots, motor spindles with or without liquid cooling, radio or wire probes, automatic tool change, standard machining software and mobile robots capable of extending their work envelope.

We also integrate the definition of tool centers, part reference guides and the use of Offline Programming software that programs, simulates and modifies trajectories based on CAD parts and the working environment.

Robotic machining of composite and soft materials

Developments in the performance of robotics systems and CAD/CAM programming software make robotic machining a highly attractive solution for advanced materials.

For complex parts, 6-axis robots offer greater accessibility than a 5-axis CNC machine. The integration of additionnal axes designed to move the robot or the part makes it possible to work on large parts with a controlled investment.

Robotic machining for metallic materials

Robotizing metal machining and trimming operations, often performed with tolerances that do not require the use of standard machining processes, offers greater flexibility, simplicity, repeatability and lower investment requirements in comparison with conventional machines – making it particularly appropriate when working on large parts.

Many machined titanium parts in the aerospace and defence sectors require chamfering or bevelling operations to increase mechanical performance and avoid any breakage from a sharp angle.

Our robotic cells are particularly well suited to these operations. The combination of compliances, profilometers and cutting tools on an electro-spindle enables us to achieve levels of precision, repeatability and speed of execution that meet the specifications for this type of aeronautical titanium parts.
