Sauer-Danfoss

Project Highlights

  • Complete ITI Turnkey Solution including CNC Machine Tools

  • Cutting tools

  • CNC Machining

  • Custom Workholding Fixtures

  • Robotic Automation

  • Wash Station & In Process Inspection

Problem:

  • Sauer-Danfoss needed to completely machine, deburr, wash, multiple parts and multiple volumes

  • Sauer-Danfoss needed a completely unattended system

  • Parts needed to be processed (infeed and outfeed) on existing transfer carts

Solution:

  • 4 Horizontal CNC machine tools-milling

  • 1 Submerging part wash station

  • Integrated thermal deburring system (non-cutting).

  • Custom workholding designed and built by ITI

  • Robotic automation for tending the entire system- 2 robots

  • Custom vacuum slip sheet system designed and built by ITI

  • CNC programs, cutting tools and tool life management all completed by ITI

Results:

  • The robotic automation solution was able to run completely unattended

  • Parts were machined, deburred, washed and placed on outfeed carts

  • ITI was able to utilize existing transfer carts for infeed and outfeed

  • Sauer-Danfoss finished parts with no operators touching the parts

  • Sauer-Danfoss can run multiple parts and multiple volumes through the system-high mix/low volume
