Deslagging and robotic grinding of oxyfuel & plasma cut parts by robot - without programming
Cleaning flame-cut parts is a physically strenuous activity with a high potential for injury. The grinding robot EasyGrinder by Teqram does this for you without having to be programmed! Vision technology combined with AI makes the previously unimaginable possible! Starting from simple slag removal to preparation grade P3 according to ISO 8501-3 and ISO 12944-3. Robotic grinding at its best.
Customer-Example: EasyGrinder @ Ancofer Steel
Vision technology - no programming
Thanks to our award winning vision technology and AI, no programming or teaching is required! By combining several imaging processes (time of flight, HD camera, 3D vision sensors), the grinding robot EasyGrinder recognises the geometry of the sheet metal parts autonomously and creates the programs for deslagging, edgerounding, ... for itself.

The standalone EasyGrinder can process oxyfuel- and plasma cut parts weighing up to 200 kg. They are provided on pallets and the grinding robot works autonomously once the desired processing quality has been selected.
Customer-Example: EasyGrinder @ Klöckner Metals Germany in Bremen
Flame-cut parts weighing up to 750 kg can be processed using the optional EasyTransfer system
Possible process steps:
- Robotic Deslagging
- Edge breaking or Edge rounding by robot
- Preparation Grade P3 / ISO 8501-3
- Radius 2 mm
- grinding of the narrow edges
- Removal of heat affected zone
- Removal of Start/Stop marks
- Robotic Deburring & edgebreaking of bore holes by robot
- Stamping & part identification
Examples of possible processes with robotic grinding:
Deslagging, edge breaking, edge rounding up to 3 mm, oxid removal, grinding the narrow edges (heat affected zone), removal of lead-ins
The desired processing quality is selected via stored recipes. For example, parts for one customer can only be chisseled, while other parts are given a radius of 2 or 3 mm!
Consistent quality
Manual deburring is not only monotonous but also physically very strenuous. Sooner or later, your strength wanes, quality suffers and the odd workpiece edge is forgotten.
Not so with robotic grinding. 100% consistent results and constant, predictable output - guaranteed thanks to the grinding robot EasyGrinder!
Even preparation grade P3 according to ISO 8501-3 with 2 mm radius and grinding of the narrow edges is not an issue for the robot!

Main advantages
with vision-controlled grinding robot
Increase in productivity
The grinding robot EasyGrinder identifies the sheet-metal parts and its contours using computer vision. The robot picks up the flame- or plasma-cut part, selects the right tool for the job and starts processing.
Standard-compliant preparation
The requirements for processing thermally cut edges in accordance with ISO 8501-3 and ISO 12944-3 represent an enormous amount of work.
All edges must have a minimum radius of R2 and the cut surface must be reworked.
No problem at all for the robot. Preparation grade P3 is child's play with robot grinding.
100% consistent quality
Robotic grinding reduces your overall costs and also achieves higher and more consistent quality! Even the wear of the grinding tools is monitored automatically.
