Brake-Disc Machining and Balancing: Two Robots Across Six Process Stations

Each reference line uses two FANUC M-710iC/70 robots.

Technical application analysis. Brake discs; four machine tools and two balancing machines; machine subtypes unspecified; two FANUC M-710iC/70 robots with circular storage.

Reference configuration and timing

Each reference line uses two FANUC M-710iC/70 robots.
They serve four machine tools and two dynamic balancing machines: six process devices in total.
Circular storage organizes incoming parts and buffering; it is not an additional machine tool.

Engineering evaluation

Allocate robot tasks against both cutting and balancing windows. A slow measurement station needs an explicit buffer and reject route or it can prevent a finished machine from being unloaded.

Grippers must protect machined surfaces and clear the balancing fixture. Keep part identity associated with inspection results so a rejected disc cannot re-enter the accepted-product route.

Selection conditions and evidence limits

The robot designation does not establish a permissible 70 kg bare workpiece. Tooling mass and load offset must be checked. No New Partner acceptance result is established.

Application questions

Does the line contain six machining centers?

No. The source distinguishes four machine tools from two balancing machines and does not identify every machine subtype.

Why track identity through balancing?

The acceptance state belongs to the physical disc; a buffer or recirculation route must not lose that association.
