Our Approach to Automating Material Removal
An integrated approach to automating material removal processes is essential for our team to achieve optimal results in automated material removal or robotic material removal tasks. Customization to our client's current process and workflow plays a pivotal role in this endeavor. Incorporating an integrated system allows for seamless coordination between various components, such as robotic arms, tooling, and software. This synergy enables precise customization of material removal operations to match the specific requirements of each application. This level of customization empowers our engineers to tailor these robotic material removal techniques, tooling selection, and cutting parameters to suit the material type, size, and intricacy of the workpiece our client is focusing on automating. By optimizing these parameters, efficiency and precision are maximized, leading to enhanced productivity and reduced waste.
Material Removal Testing
Partnering with leading manufacturers like Schunk, our team of engineers are able to test your material removal application completely free of charge. Having a partnership with Schunk allows our team and our customers to gain access to an automation lab where we can put any application to the test. Through this process, we are able to deliver a clear line of site into what your automated process would look like in regards to feasibility, cycle time, tooling needs, and return on investment.

Material Removal Automation - Common Applications
Automated Deburring
Removal of burrs and chamfering of sharp edges after the actual workpiece machining is complete
Robotic Grinding/Sanding
Removal of coarser material or to prepare surfaces for downstream surface finishing
Robotic Polishing
Process to give workpiece a desired finish
Automated Sander Tool for Collaborative Robots
Complete electric random orbital sander for almost any automated surface finishing application, from sanding and buffing to polishing and cleaning. The Sander is available with everything you need to get started right away, and operates without external air supply, for no additional costs or complexity, and none of the dust or noise generated by traditional air sanders.
