Chips

  • Build-up of chips on door rail, causing door faults
    • Solution: regular maintenance and review process to determine if chips can be deflected or redirected, with coolant or tool path changes.
  • Chips on the vise surface, causing robot mis-loads or bad parts
    • Solution: review table wash program.  Table wash needs to thoroughly wash vises, ideally with coolant.  It is better to take more time washing the vises, to ensure chip removal than to optimize the table wash for time.
  • Chips on the bottom of soft jaws, causing robot mis-loads or bad parts
    • Solution: review VersaBlast calibration, VersaBlast mount position, and VersaBlast optimal air flow shown in manual. 
  • Build-up of chips in the interface between the MultiGrip Jaws and MultiGrip Gripper
    • Solution: regular maintenance – use the provided pick to clean out the interface between job setups.
