SWS100-3.7

The SWS100-3.7 Servo Weld Shaver has the power and capability to transform a varying weld bead profile into a consistent predetermined surface slightly above or below the surrounding parent metal.

A six inch diameter slotting cutter is positioned relative to adjustable rolling contact wheels. This allows the cutter to machine away the exact amount of material desired. The twelve replaceable carbide cutter inserts ensure a consistent, smooth cut and long life. Easy access to the inserts allows thm to be changed in a matter of minutes.

The SWS100-3.7 Servo Weld Shaver provides a convenient and effective means to accurately remove excess material from a surface. The weld shaver is designed to remove random, inconsistent surface features such as seam welds, parting lines and flashing, leaving behind a known, consistent, smooth surface. The SWS100-3.7 is ideal for use in applications where force-based, abrasive-only operations fail.

The SWS100-3.7 enables accurate surface machining by utilizing guide wheels to track over the surface profiel. Force control is used to hold the guide wheels firmly against the surfface. This arrangement allows the shaver to maintain contact with complex surfaces while compensating for any robot / part misalignment.

The SWS100-3.7 is comprised of two primary components: a slot cutter assembly and a high torque servomotor. The machining operation is performed by a 6 inch diameter slot cutter with replaceable inserts. The cutter is capable of machining up to a 1.265 inch (32mm) wide path, which is sufficient to remove most weld beads, parting lines or flashing with a single pass. The depth of cut can be adjusted to any position from 0.1 inch above the surrounding surface to 0.1 inch below (± 2.5mm). In addtion to producing a consistent surface, using the SWS100-3.7 can product significant cost savings since one set of inserts can often out last hundreds of abrasive disks.

The servo motor provides precision adjustable speed control through RS-232 serial, and ± 10V analog interfaces. The SWS100-3.7 uses a 3.7 horsepower (2.8 kW) motor with a speed range of 0 to 3300 RPM. The belt and pulley drive provides a 2.045:1 gear ratio which halves the speed and doubles the output torque a the cutter. The servo motor allows the shaver to control cutter speed (rpm) within 5%. The projected life of this high quality servo motor is over 20,000 hours.

Paired with an AFD1100-1 this SWS100-3.7 makes an ideal tool for removing the toughest weld beads.
