==Robotic Part Transfer Automation Systems==
Robotic part transfer systems are multi process material handling automation cells. Through use of cartesian gantry robots and robot lift or track systems part transfer automation can be implemented in multi station conveyor loading and/or machine tending applications. Gantry mounted robots also carry the advantage of reduced floor space consumption compared to traditional robotic part transfer systems. By design, robotic machine tending applications are part to tool based. Typical end of arm tooling mechanisms include vacuum cups or pneumatic grippers, and is largely dependent on part size, weight, & surface conditions.

Within the last decade industrial robot manufacturers have introduced a class of super heavy payload capacity 6 axis articulated robot arms. These robots can handle loads from 350 to 700 kg (770 lbs to 1,540 lbs). These heavy payload robots open up new capabilities in automated process design & workflow for large or extremely heavy parts. Utilizing these high payload robots the benefits of multi part handling end of arm tooling can now be brought to parts that weight up to 200 kg – primarily reduced cycle times, increased robot utilization, & increased throughput.

==Robotic Trimming Automation Systems==

Robotic trimming can be performed on metal, plastic, fabric, & wood parts. Robotic trimming can be performed with laser, mechanical router, or waterjet technologies depending on part composition, environmental factors, throughput requirements, & budget. Trimming applications are usually performed with a tool to part based robot system design, meaning the robot is fitted with the appropriate trimming equipment & presents it to the part. Rimrock specializes in the application of laser cutting, & mechanical routing.

In some instances, such as for mechanical trimming of small parts, a part to tool based robot system design is possible. In those cases, typical end of arm tooling mechanisms are vacuum cups or pneumatic grippers, and selection is largely dependent on part size, weight, & surface conditions.

==Robotic Sanding Automation Systems==
Robotic sanding is performed on metal or plastic parts to meet a final form finish, or for pre-paint preparation. Robotic sanding process media are primarily coated abrasives (belts, discs, cones, flap wheels). Determination of process media is made based upon desired finish & material removed is usually minimal.

The most important determinants of robotic sanding system design and implementation are gripping surfaces availability & access to polishing locations. The majority of robotic sanding systems are based on a part to tool design due to the need for articulated part movement to mimic the former manual process. Part to tool robot system designs provide the advantages of allowing for part regrip(s) & flexibility in approach angles for optimal sanding & coverage. Tool to part robot systems are more common when dealing with simple (single surface) sanding operations, large parts, and/or cells which finish multiple part skus, which would otherwise require gripper changeover.

==Robotic Grinding Automation Systems==
Robotic grinding is performed on metal parts to remove excess material, reduce weld bead, or for shaping operations. Robotic grinding processes tend to be generally more aggressive in material removal than finishing applications & have less of an emphasis on final surface finish. Process media include coated abrasives (belts, discs, cones, flap wheels) & bonded abrasives (grinding wheels, cut off wheels). Determination of process media is usually made based upon amount of material to be removed & desired finish.

The most important determinants of robotic grinding system design and implementation are gripping surfaces availability & access to finishing locations. Parts which need grinding operations on multiple surfaces are more likely to use part to tool robot system designs to allow for part regrip(s) & flexibility in approach angles for optimal grinding. Tool to part robot systems are more common when dealing with simple (single surface) grinding operations, large parts, and/or cells which grind multiple part skus, which would otherwise require gripper changeover.
