Evana Automation completes deburring station retool for automaker

Evana Automation Specialists, Evansville, Ind., a systems integrator and builder of custom automated assembly and test systems, has completed a turnkey retool on an automated deburring station for an automobile manufacturer. The retool allows the manufacturer to produce cylinder head water jackets for several different engine models.

The process begins when the station's first robot unloads the sand casting to the tooling area within the cell. A second robot, with a deburring tool, follows the contour of the water jacket passages to remove excess material. Upon completion, the first robot unloads the tooling nest and places the sand casting onto a belt conveyor, where it is transferred to another assembly line.
