INTRODUCING AUGMENTUS’ NO-CODE FINISHING SYSTEM
Augmentus' Finishing Robotic System is a solution suited for applications such as:
- Sanding
- Polishing
- Grinding
and many more.
Existing Challenges in Finishing Automation
Manufacturers dealing with finishing processes such as sanding, polishing and grinding often encounter several limitations and struggles with conventional robot programming:
-
Complex Geometry
Finishing treatments like sanding and polishing are commonly used for intricate or irregular surfaces, making traditional robot programming intricate and time-consuming. Writing and optimizing the code to address variations in shapes and surfaces can be challenging, demanding specialized skills and significant man-hours. Conventional automation faces limitations in adaptability and precision, further complicating the process.
-
Difficulty in Handling Variability/Deviations
Manufacturing environments often have variations and deviations in part geometry, material properties, and surface conditions. Conventional programming may struggle to handle these variations effectively, leading to inconsistent results.
-
High Mix Automation
Companies often look for ways to do High Mix or small run batches, and they require frequent and new configurations and programming. Whenever a change in the finishing process is required, robots need to be taken offline for reprogramming. This can impact production efficiency and increase overall lead times.
