Robotic Grinding, Sanding and Deburring

Robotic Grinding
Manual grinding (sanding, slag removal, deburring, removal of oxide-layers, edge-rounding) is expensive and physically taxing.
Our EasyGrinder can automate manual grinding, with the added benefit of a much higher consistency in quality of the finished parts.
Parts and contours automatically identified with machine vision. No operator programming needed to identify parts.
Typical Applications
- Deburring after laser-, plasma or oxy-fuel cutting
- Sanding metal parts
- Rounding off edges as preparation for coating
- Removal of slag and oxide layers after cutting
Key Benefits
Vision Guided Robotics for grinding
Increase Productivity. No more manual grinding
The EasyGrinder identifies the product, its contours and shapes by means of computer vision. The robot picks up the product, selects the right tool for the job and starts.
Unmanned production start to end.
Go beyond possibilities of manual grinding
Slag removal, deburring, edge-rounding and removal of oxide-layers with minimal programming by operators. The power of the robot enables grinding procedures impossible for humans.
With standard tooling!
Boost Quality and Consistency
Lower total cost of quality. Increased consistency. Even the wear of the abrasive tools is automatically monitored. Machining by robot results in the same high quality level.
