INITIAL SITUATION

rondo Ringkachelofen GmbH, based in Weichslmühle near Pentling in Bavaria, is a second-generation family business with a strong sense of tradition. Under the brand name rondolino®, the 13-strong team manufactures wood-burning stoves by hand and in cooperation with regional suppliers in the workshop near Regensburg. Removing the weld seams has become an enormous strain and a major challenge for the small team. Automation is intended to relieve the employees of this physically strenuous task.

THE PROCESS

The demand for rondolino® stoves has increased by an impressive 100% in recent years. Grinding the steel shells is an important but monotonous, arduous and time-consuming task. This is why the idea was born to automate this step in particular. The aim is to grind weld seams perfectly in order to prepare the individual stove cylinders for subsequent painting without any manual reworking.

THE AUTOMATION

In cooperation with accell GmbH, which acts as the system integrator, an AAK 505 endeffector with Active Compliant Technology and a flexible tool changing system is set up for the various processing steps. A gripper integrated into the cell seamlessly automates the workflow right through to the ready-to-paint surface. One hundred per cent process reliability and a structure-free surface are decisive factors for a high-quality end product.

THE RESULT

  • Complete relief for the grinding staff
  • Tailor-made complete solution
  • Consistent, reproducible quality
  • Extremely accelerated surface processing
  • Guarateed process reliability
  • Amortisation period in less than 16 months
