What is involved in Robotic Milling Cells?

Robotic Milling Cells involve a complex system of robotic machines, tools and equipment that work together to accomplish highly-accurate and precise milling tasks. The milling cells usually consist of a robot arm, a milling tool, a workpiece and a control system.

The robot arm moves the milling tool back and forth, up and down, and side to side so as to shape the workpiece into the desired form or design. The control system plays a crucial role in the performance of the milling cells by providing feedback and instructions to the robot arm on the necessary adjustments for a perfect milling end-product.

The whole milling process is automatic and efficient, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing and precision engineering applications. With improved technology, the current robotic milling cells are more advanced and can handle various materials such as plastics, metal, wood and composite materials with ease.

Additionally, the production process also involves various engineering solutions such as CAM software and in-process measurements to ensure that the milling operation is executed with precision.
