Manual deburring entails a number of challenges that are increasingly posing problems for companies. One major disadvantage is the health risks involved: the employees performing the work are often exposed to dirt and unfavorable ergonomic conditions. Furthermore, manual deburring can lead to fluctuations in the quality of workmanship, which can be problematic for companies that depend on consistently high standards. Another important aspect is the inefficient use of human resources. In times of a shortage of skilled workers and increasing demands for competitiveness, companies are forced to deploy their employees for more demanding tasks.

“Workpiece deburring is a crucial process step in the manufacturing industry that is often underestimated. With our new solution, we not only meet quality and efficiency requirements, but also address issues such as ergonomics and occupational safety,” explains Klaus Preyler, Managing Director of HEITEC Systemtechnik GmbH.

With the new deburring cell, HEITEC promises to optimize manufacturing processes, increase product quality, and free up valuable resources in the process. It is characterized by a compact size (1.9 x 2.6 x 2.5 meters) and offers space for up to eight different deburring spindles. The integrated turning station enables loading during the primary processing time – either manually or in combination with an additional robot. Here, components can be flexibly processed independently of the tool used. The entire deburring cell is virtually mapped in CAD/CAM software and the complete deburring process can be realistically simulated. This allows users to quickly and easily perform tests, including collision checks, in which new components are deburred with the respective tool in the simulation. This not only saves you time during setup, but also reduces errors during operation.
