Index rotary tables with CNC units
for polishing and buffing operations

CNC units are supplied with 5 electrical axes (revolving and linear), which are matched with a spindle placed in a rotary table, which has also n’ 2 electrical turns, giving a big flexibility to the movements. This elevated movement skill of the head, combined with the movement possibility of the rotary table’s spindles, allows the approaching of the tool to any kind of shape including really complex shapes which are hardly workable even for a manual operator.

The rotary tables and the new C.N.C. units
This new solution was created in 2004, tested and improved through the years with the target of approaching the products, which would be impossible to handle with a static buffing unit, to the automatic buffing system.
C.N.C. buffing unit transformed the way of thinking about buffing, in relation to the use of the rotating tables. With the C.N.C. units there is no more need to built the rotary tables with as many static buffing units as operations of the product’s polishing cycle.
Thanks to the interpolation of the electrical axes, the C.N.C. buffing unit is distinguished by the possibility to perform an elevate number of movement sequences. Therefore it performs an articulated processing cycle without any interruptions and any modifications or manual adjustments by the operator.
Due this features, this model of buffing unit is used in a large list of sectors. The use of the C.N.C. unit is extremely advantageous for the buffing of pieces with complex shapes, offering high productivity and quality.

It is comparable to a buffing robotic cell
The completeness and the great number of operations that the C.N.C. buffing Rotary Table Machine can do easily, allow to compare it against the movement possibility of a buffing robotic cell; with the significant difference of the productivity/investment value between both machines.
Rotary table has the cycle time piece divided in the different units, instead what happens in the robotic cell, where the full cycle time is made by the robot. Roughly, to keep the same production of a CNC machine with robotic cells, would be necessary as many robotic cells as working units has the CNC rotary table.

Programming facility with the auto-learning system.
CNC rotary table machine has a very friendly way to built the programs.
Thank to the auto-learning system the creation of the working cycle for every C.N.C. unit is quickly, easy and accurate. The operator will not have to learn any programming language, but he will only have to plan sequentially the movement typology, that the unit has to do, in a chart and to plan manually, or with the auto-learning key, the geometrical points of contact mops/piece.

Fast machine set up.
Every time that a work program is used the machine set-up is extremely fast, thank to the unit’s auto-learning being a suitable machine for small lots, something any day more often in the industries.
The industrial computer, which allows the interface between the operator and the PLC, do not has limit for the storage capacity of programs. Every time that the production might be changed, the previously elaborated program simply restarts, and suddenly the machine is consequentially ready in the right position again.

C.N.C. unit with double flanked mop (Brush)
Another step forward into the development and innovation of the well consolidated C.N.C. column.

For C.O.S.M.A.P. the double flanked mop is another step forward into the development and innovation of the well consolidated and confirmed C.N.C. unit. It was born from the idea to develop a working unit that contains the possibility to cutting and coloring with the use of a single column. It is perfect for the processing of small lots; the double flanked mop is also distinguished by:
The extreme flexibility:
This characteristic is the result of the high skills of the column, which supports the mops assembly. In fact using the C.N.C. column the unit of the double flanked mop is provided with n’ 7 axes, among which n’ 3 are supplied with the C.N.C column.
N’ 4 axes are distributed for the distinct movement of the two mops.
In particular the movements deal with:

For the reduced cost:
The cost is reduced because it is possible to buy a column with the same effective potentialities of two. The column handles with a complete processing of polishing and buffering for the many different portions without having a reduction of the final quality and limiting the number of fixtures and speeding up the set up of the machine.
The following is an example of Rotating Table, which has n’ 3 stations and has n’ 2 C.N.C. units with double flanked mop; the target is to cutting and coloring taps and sanitary fittings.

Index Rotary tables with electrical units
for polishing and buffing operations

Rotary tables consist of a main framework set in motion and controlled by an electromechanical component which guarantees the absolute accuracy of the rotating movement of the table.--
THE SPINDLE group can combine the piece rotating movement with a tilting movement; both of them are controlled by brushless motors with resolvers.
C.O.S.M.A.P., as a designer and manufacturer of these machines can answer every kind of request, ensuring the customer the exact size and the required number of units which one needs for specific use. C.O.S.M.A.P. can boast the possibility of ranging from basic simply powered units to units with controlled and interpolated axis (C.N.C.).
The use of such machinery is reflected in the widest range of applications: from faucets to door handles, household items or aluminium and steel accessories for the automotive sector.
Our flexibility is reflected also in the possibility of operating with multiple control systems available on the market.

Index Rotary tables with double brush units
for polishing and buffing operations

The machine in question combines the features of the rotating table with the possibility of using polishing units equipped with double brush. The brushes are supplied with forward and oscillation movements, which are controlled by axis with programmable speed and stroke. The fixtures installed on these tables have features that allow the piece to be thoroughlypolished by sinking it, using the units with opposing double brush.
Thus the use of this kind of tables is particularly suitable for the polishing and brushing of round pipes – straight or bent – which are used frequently in faucets and sanitary fittings, such as kitchen pipes.

Continuous rotary tables for
polishing and buffing operations

C.O.S.M.A.P. continuous rotary tables combine large production scale – typical of these types of machines – with flexibility and placement speed. All units are equipped with an automated system which recovers the brushes’ consumption. This type of table allows the installation of both external and internal units, compared to the mandrel faceplate, which can be 10 to 80.
