HIGH PRESSURE DEBURRING
As the manufacturing industry faces increasing market demands for higher quality products and lower environmental impact solutions, cleaning processes have become a mandatory and critical operation in every production line. The cleaning process involves the removal of undesired pollutants such as chips, burs, oil, sands, and other contaminants from mechanical parts. Achieving a high degree of cleanliness before assembling components allows for easier coupling between the parts, resulting in longer product life. The I.T.F. deburring machines offer more than just a deburring station, it is a fully integrated washing solution. Along with high-pressure deburring, it includes additional necessary processes such as IFW, pin-point washing, rinsing, vacuum drying, and final cooling.

High Pressure Deburring
I.T.F's High Pressure Deburring product line features advanced deburring systems equipped with IP 67 grade robots that follow predefined deburring programs for each mechanical part entering the machine. The system includes a smart identification device at the loading position that recognizes the part and initiates the corresponding deburring program, allowing for recognition of multiple parts without the need for retooling. During the deburring process, the robot arm guides high-pressure nozzles into every fissure to remove contaminants from the part. The robot can pick up parts or guide the nozzles, depending on program specifications and cycle time.
ROBOTFLEX
This system is built to effectively clean machined parts, remove any unwanted burrs, and provide high-pressure deburring. Additionally, it can also rinse and dry the parts. Although the operator must manually load and unload the parts, the conveyor system is equipped with an index at both the loading and unloading stations, making it possible for a robot (through a pick and place mechanism) to discharge the load.
The machine operates on a closed loop system, where pallets containing processed pieces are automatically returned to the load position using lateral displacement units and pneumatic lifting/descent platforms.
Within this system, the pallets are able to move freely and can be stopped at specific working positions. The washing and drying process is carried out by an anthropomorphic IP67 robot and a linear conveyor, which moves the work pieces through all the process stations. The pieces are held on floating pallets, which expose them to the treatment phases.
The number of robots present in the washing plant is determined by various factors such as the type of contaminants being removed, cycle time, and desired level of cleanliness.
ROBOTOOL
The primary function of this machine is to clean and remove grease from the surfaces of various pieces, including blind and through holes, pockets, anchors, and both interior and exterior surfaces. The washing process involves high pressure flushing, rinsing, and drying.
The robot handles parts up to 35 lbs.
The loading and unloading of pieces can be carried out either manually by an operator or through automation. The machine's flexibility allows it to clean complex shapes and intricate details without the need to reassemble the washing jets.
To perform the washing and drying process, an anthropomorphic IP67 robot and a step-by-step linear conveyor, driven by a gearmotor, are employed. The parts being treated are moved from one process station to another, with the robot inserting and extracting them from the various treatment lances during the high pressure washing process. The washing process takes place within a compact space, with different working chambers placed vertically.
For the drying process, a vacuum process outside of the robot process chamber is utilized. The machine is designed with front loading and unloading positions, which can be configured as needed.
GLADIATOR
The machine's main function is to clean and remove grease from the surfaces of various pieces, including blind and through holes, pockets, anchors, and both interior and exterior surfaces. It is designed for washing, high pressure flushing, rinsing, and drying. The loading and unloading of pieces can be carried out either manually by an operator or through automation.
The robot handles parts up to 463 lbs.
One of the machine's key features is its flexibility in cleaning complex shapes and intricate details without the need to reassemble the washing jets. The washing and drying cycle is carried out exclusively within a single plant using an anthropomorphic IP67 robot and a step-by-step linear conveyor driven by a gearmotor, which moves the parts from one process station to another.
The HP washing and drying process usually starts with front loading and unloading, which can be configured as needed. The washing process involves a robotic plant, with different working chambers placed vertically, creating a compact working space. The robot inserts and extracts the parts to be processed within the various treatment lances. For drying, a vacuum process outside of the robot process chamber is used.
This machine's conveyor allows for quick production changes by simply replacing pallets. When using floating pallets for the liner production line, in co-design with the automation company, it is also possible to integrate the washing plant inside the flexible pallet system.
ROBOTAUTOFLEX (RAF)
This system provides great flexibility in deburring and washing, with the ability to clean a variety of parts. The cleaning process includes brushing, intensive flooded washing, high pressure water jet deburring, final washing and rinsing. The machine is a hybrid of the ROBOTFLEX and ROBOTOOL models.
In some stations, the robot moves the parts to the tool while in other stations, the tools are mounted on the robot’s wrist. The vacuum drying and final cooling of the parts take place on the standard ITF conveyors called “Composyl” (PZR) outside the modular machine.
Additionally, there is a washing station for the pallet in the last station. The RAF chamber features loading and unloading index positions to ensure precise and repetitive positioning during the pick-up and drop-off of the workpiece.
