Problem
Manufacturers of complex tooling and component parts rely on manual grinding processes that are labor‑intensive, have long cycle times, and are limited to daytime operation, leading to high labor costs and bottlenecks in production.
Solution
ROBOTe offers an automated robotic grinding system that integrates AI‑driven path generation, collision avoidance, and a self‑aligning smart end‑effector to perform high‑precision grinding of complex geometries. The system operates unattended 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, effectively doubling grinding throughput compared to manual labor while maintaining consistent, reproducible results. An intuitive touch‑screen interface and a digital twin allow shop‑floor personnel to set up and monitor jobs without specialized training. Offline software ensures data security and enables full process simulation before execution.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of high‑precision tooling such as press molds, die‑casting molds, composite and cast components, and other large‑scale parts that require consistent surface finishing.
