Sanding, grinding, polishing, and buffing might seem straightforward, but these finishing tasks demand precision and a steady, consistent touch to deliver flawless results.  Traditional finishing processes rely heavily on human labor, exposing workers to repetitive, dirty, and physically demanding work.  This approach often leads to challenges such as:  

​

• Inconsistent finishes due to worker fatigue and strain

• Compromised product quality resulting in defects and rework

• Increased downtime caused by labor shortages and turnover

 

The solution?  Integrate a collaborative robot (cobot) into your finishing cell.  Cobots deliver reliable, high-quality finishes with the flexibility to adapt quickly to changes in production needs.  Equipped with force control technology, the cobot automatically adjusts its position to maintain the precise pressure needed for the desired finish every time.

​

Benefits include: 

• Increased productivity thanks to consistent cobot performance for extended periods of time

• Improved worker safety by minimizing fatigue and physical strain

• Mitigation of labor shortages by freeing employees for higher-skilled tasks

• Easily reprogrammed to accommodate production requirements without impacting finish quality or cell efficiency

 

By combining human oversight with cobot precision, your finishing operations become safer, faster, and more consistent, enabling you to achieve superior products and greater operational efficiency.
