From the robot’s movements to process intelligence
Successful automation projects follow a clear structure – they are based on a systematic analysis and assessment of the process as a whole.
Professionals don’t just look at the movements that the robot makes, they:
- Analyze the existing machining process.
- Identify critical influencing factors.
- Assess the level of wear and what impact it has.
- Define stable process windows.
- Coordinate the tool, drive and application in a targeted way.
This results in reliable processes that remain stable, even under real-life production conditions.
Process intelligence requires experience
PFERD TOOLS combines decades of experience in manual processes with an in-depth understanding of automated applications.
This expertise is incorporated into our:
- Development of tools and drives that are suitable for use with robots.
- Analysis of real process conditions.
- Structured support for automation projects.
Our mission isn’t just to automate processes, but design them to be stable for the long term – not simply as a tool manufacturer, but as your partner for reliable automated solutions.
The perfect match – it’s all about having the right combination
When it comes to automated processes, people often focus on the programming and robotics. However, this means a key factor is often overlooked – how the tool and spindle are coordinated with one another.
In practice it is clear that even a stable process can become unstable if these two components do not optimally interact.
Based on our experience in manual and automated processes, we have put together tried-and-tested combinations of tools and spindles for typical applications. They take into account real operating conditions, typical process requirements, and combinations that have been proven to work in practice.
