Robot systems for demo and evaluation
trials
Leading European finishing equipment manufacturer Guyson International has recently installed a Motorman HP6 robot and NX100 controller into its Skipton demonstration and manufacturing centre showroom
These units will provide free process evaluation and demonstration facilities for potential automated blast or wash cell robot and controller customers Recent increased demand for fully automated process cells has encouraged Guyson to install this test installation to prove their system integration capabilities and to demonstrate to potential customers the benefits of robotic handling and component manipulation, when used in conjunction with Guyson finishing equipment, whilst also delivering accurate process times and finishing costs, so the customer can make informed choices on equipment purchases

The Guyson impact on fettling and cleaning
Blast cleaning has been associated with fettling and cleaning for many years and in many ways is still the same basic process that it was when first used
Speed up your cleaning with Guyson Euroblast
Recognised worldwide as of the highest quality, a Guyson Euroblast system can help you achieve new levels of precision, speed and efficiency in many industrial cleaning and maintenance operations
With this fully working robotic cell Guyson are able to simulate a number of real time automated production scenarios, including performing machined component pallet to pallet time and motion studies.
The robot can be used to manipulate a single blast nozzle around a heavy complex work piece or to pick a small, light component from a pallet and orientate it in front of fixed stationary blast nozzles.
The same robot can move work pieces through a full automated cell for pre and post washing or ancillary finishing such as laser marking and prove 'lights out' stacked pallet production processes.
This will see robotics used to somewhere near its full potential, not just as a dumb pick and place unit to simply load and unload components, but rather as a sophisticated and integral part of the cellular production process at the finishing equipment manufacturer.
Richard Standing, Guyson Business Development Manager, stated "We would like to demonstrate to potential customers the full benefits of moving their finishing production right to the top of the 'automation ladder', to a fully automated system.
Guyson sees this move as vital for medical and aerospace customers to be able to deliver the required consistency of finish from the blast process, whilst meeting stringent quality standards.
It will also assist other high volume manufacturers to be better able to compete against low cost labour economies.
This latest demonstration facility, coupled with Guyson free component trials service, enables customers to visit just one company, prove their intended robotic handling system is going to synchronise with the chosen automated finishing unit and minimise any concerns before they invest in the capital equipment".
