Industrial robot RoboSand: a solution for sanding and milling

RoboSand is an industrial robot adapted for sanding and milling flat and volumetric surfaces. By changing the different tools of the robotic arm, parts of various sizes and shapes can be sanded and milled.

By combining more than one function, this multipurpose 6-axis robot outperforms standard CNC machines with its flexibility. This robotic cell is equipped with an automatic tool changing station that can switch to a spindle-in-hand (HSK) which can switch between different tools for processing even the most complex 3D objects. The reach of the robotic arm (up to 2900mm) allows the processing of extremely large parts, and the rotary table provides the opportunity to process the part from all sides.

The sanding robot can automatically change the sanding pads. The pad changing station can be equipped with different grades of sandpaper.

No complicated programming of the robot is required to determine the sanding trajectories. The convenient robot training system “Easy to Teach” will allow the operator to start work quickly and easily. It only takes three simple steps:

Show the sanding path using a sanding tool familiar to the operator.
The shown sanding trajectory is captured and displayed on the computer screen with the possibility to edit the speed, angle, path, and etc.
The robot starts working according to the operator’s instructions.

A robotic sanding solution will ensure consistent quality.
By handing over physically demanding work to a robot, you will create better working conditions for employees.
Such a system will help to create a uniform pace of work and cyclical production.

Corrugated cardboard packaging is an environmentally friendly solution

Corrugated cardboard packaging is an environmentally friendly solution. Packaging products in paper-based boxes is a business contribution to nature conservation. Recycled paper makes up most of the raw material for corrugated cardboard production. Cardboard packaging can be appropriately recycled after use. Corrugated cardboard packaging is one of the most commonly recycled paper products today. Efficient recycling processes allow the reuse of corrugated boards for new packaging. Recycled paper accounts for 89% of the raw material for new corrugated boxes, ensuring the uninterrupted service life of the paper fiber.
Corrugated cardboard is a widely recycled material that, when used can lessen the environmental impact of packaging as waste is significantly reduced.
Corrugated boxes are ideal for shipping and handling with their strength offering packaging protection for all kinds of products. The corrugated carton can withstand long shipping times, making it top of the list regarding packaging solutions.
Environmentally harmful bleaches are not used in the production of cardboard. The production of cardboard from recyclable materials uses less energy and reduces CO2 emissions – the production is made from local raw materials, so long-distance transportation is unnecessary.
Corrugated cardboard is amongst the most environmentally friendly packaging materials available. Boxes made from cardboard can easily be folded away, making them easy for the recipients of deliveries to reuse.
Many consumers are already paying attention to the products of companies that care about the environment. This trend will only intensify in the future. Companies that still package plastics are risking their image in the eyes of customers who care about the environment. Ethical and responsible business today is unimaginable without proper attention to environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
Environmental friendliness is far from the only advantage of corrugated packaging. Corrugated cardboard has strength, relatively low cost, and low weight. This choice ensures adequate protection of the product during transport.
Choosing the right packaging size is essential – it continues to be environmentally friendly. After all, too large packaging means not only excessive consumption of materials and increased costs (as well as the need to use additional fillers in packaging) but also the fact that fewer goods will fit during transportation – the delivery of the company’s products will leave a more noticeable carbon footprint. The carbon footprint is an indicator of the impact of an activity, person, or country on climate change.
Industrial Robotics Company has developed a solution – the cardboard packaging robot RoboCut, which can help produce environmentally friendly corrugated boards on demand. RoboCut is an industrial robot that helps to make cardboard packaging and its parts efficiently. The dynamism and versatility of this device allow you to produce packaging of various sizes and prepare them for use in an instant. The possibility to automate the production of cardboard packaging allows avoiding the persistent storage of packaging of specific dimensions to conveniently plan the required amount of packaging and their production time. The robot for the production of cartons -RoboCut – can be controlled remotely – a physical presence is only necessary to activate it for work.

Advantages of a robot carpenter for the furniture industry

It is no secret that the furniture manufacturing sector is facing a shortage of skilled workers and a complicated search for them. The best and most experienced furniture masters lose their attention and speed over the years, and young workers did not want to choose the carpentry profession. For the reasons mentioned above, manufacturers face the problem of producing more and better products without increasing the number of employees. That’s what RoboMill, the carpenter’s robot, was designed for. The furniture manufacturing company Medienos era has a successful experience in applying this robot.

Here is ways robot carpenter RoboMill helps in furniture production:
• Enables better use abilities of the skilled employees.
• Reduces the need for new skilled workers through company and production expansion.
• Helps to improve product quality.
• Accelerates production time.

Furniture workers can do more working together with a robot. In this case, people will do jobs that require the highest qualifications and creativity. A workplace equipped with a robot will be attractive to young workers – there will be no monotonous and dangerous tasks left. The industrial robot will help attract the next craftsman generation.

A robot performing the function of a carpenter will allow:
• Produce more at the same time.
• Make orders faster.
• Better planning of production flows.
• Reduce losses due to quality problems, i.e., repair of product defects, waste of raw materials, additional work due to customer dissatisfaction.

Use a robot and increase the productivity of an existing team. Such a solution will help much more than just another woodworking machine. Acquiring a robot is a solution that will help you deal with current and future challenges and increase your competitiveness. Solutions that save human resources are the basis of a great future strategy. It is definitely not worth limiting business development for the reason “lack of people”. Robots are worth thinking about for every successful furniture manufacturer who is currently having more orders than can produce. Any order not accepted due to overcapacity is an abandonment of future development opportunities. At present, manufacturers who do not respond well to market demand are losing a significant competitive advantage. Orders not made by one furniture manufacturer will be fulfilled by a competitor. Efficient production processes are one of the most significant competitive advantages in the modern market.
