Robotic Grinding

The primary purpose of grinding is the removal of materials (plastics, metals, etc.) and the generation of the desired surface in a cost-effective way. Grinding is a common finishing method used to smooth, prepare and level product surfaces. The abrasive materials used for grinding are designed to take extra material away with speed and consistency. Most grinding is performed manually, but use of robotics is steadily gaining momentum because of the need for higher productivity, consistency and health effects inherent in the manual grinding process.

Robotics can now provide automated grinding, deburring, machining, and polishing necessary to reduce your operating costs, improve product quality and through-put. 

Benefits of Robotic Grinding

• Cut production expenses and labor dramatically

• Grinding welds or castings manually can be difficult and possibly dangerous work when done manuall

• Save workers from possible eye and lung damage

• Are now much more affordable and many smaller factories can now buy a robotic grinding cell for their operation

• Can remove material with high repeatability, and consistent high quality every time

• Can greatly improve your plant productivity and output

How We Can Help:

• Visit your plant and work with you to do a cost/benefit and return-on-investment (ROI) analysis report and then help you justify a new robotic grinding system

• Provide you with a cost effective solution

• Provide you with an off the shelf or we can engineer a custom grinding workcell

• Supply and install integrated measuring devices

• Provide all necessary safety fencing, lockouts and a user control panel

• Integrate a grinding robot into a new or existing system linking (welding line, conveyors, pallet handling etc.)

• Provide engineering, installation and start up support

• Train your staff to operate, program, and maintain your grinding system

• Provide 24/365 day telephone and on site emergency support
