Different levels of accuracy require different solutions the higher the accuracy required the more factors that must be considered, adding to the cost and complexity of the solution. Because there are many factors that influence robot accuracy, it is important to define the accuracy requirements for the system. The standard is set by the positional requirement for drilling of fastener holes which has been taken as a key target application for robotics in aerospace manufacturing. Typical tolerances for airframe assembly fastening were in the + 0.030″ range.
Critical aerospace manufacturing techniques such as fastening and drilling were historically not held to tight tolerances. In the past, robotic accuracy has not been published or developed to a level of maturity acceptable to standard production processes. “ Becoming an authorized Fanuc Robotics Integrator carries on our company's 25-year tradition of continually improving services and offering the latest technology to our customers,” says Steve Ortner, President of Absolute Machine Tools.Where accuracy is concerned, robots have traditionally relied on repeatability. The labor-related savings help companies cope with major costs from government mandates such as the Health Care Reform Act and Social Security and Medicare contribution requirements.įANUC Robotics systems also boost productivity, allowing manufacturing operations to cost-effectively perform work in-house that once would have been sent overseas to lower labor costs. The relationship with FANUC America Corporation enables Absolute to enhance those systems with robots that handle payloads from 0.5kg to 1,350 kg, as well as simulation packages, application software, force sensing and infrared vision systems.įANUC Robotics automation technology addresses key issues facing the manufacturing industry today, such as increasing labor wage and benefit costs as well as the need to maintain production in the face of a shrinking manufacturing workforce.
Through FANUC Robotics comprehensive product offerings and applications engineering expertise, Absolute provides turnkey, production-specific EDM machining systems. achieved Authorized Integrator status in 2013 with FANUC America Corporation. This partnership with a world-wide leading supplier of robotic automation reinforces Absolute's efforts to help its customers reduce manufacturing costs, boost competitiveness, and ultimately improve revenues.
