ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION
PARTNER WITH EXPERTISE IN ROBOTICS AND APPLICATION KNOWLEDGE
Choosing the right partner is one of the most critical factors for a successful automated sanding process. Automating sanding processes requires expertise in robotics and deep knowledge of sanding, grinding, and polishing. A partner who combines these areas of knowledge can offer a comprehensive solution that is fully tailored to your company's specific needs. At Cibo Robotics, we have experience in both automation and sanding processes. We understand that each application is unique and that a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. That’s why we offer tailored solutions, working closely with our clients from the outset to select the best technology and tooling. Our approach is based on providing a total solution. This means we supply the robot or cobot and ensure the correct tooling, programming, and integration with existing systems. We guide our clients through the entire process, from the concept phase to implementation and further optimisation. This ensures that the solution is not only functional but also future-proof and flexible enough to grow with your business's changing needs.

Tooling as a success factor A successful automated sanding process hinges on the choice of the correct tooling. Often, the focus is placed on the robot or cobot itself, but the result may fall short without the correct abrasives and tools. Traditional abrasive performance usually degrades over time, meaning that their efficiency and finish quality decline over time. This can lead to inconsistent results, particularly in automated processes where continuity and precision are essential. When selecting abrasives, two key
considerations are the replacement method and the choice between
traditional and 3D abrasives. Traditional abrasives, such as sanding discs and belts, are typically replaced based on time, according to an empirically determined usage duration. 3D abrasives, such as unitised or non-woven products, maintain consistent performance from start to finish. These abrasives are often replaced based on their minimal working diameter, which can be more accurately monitored in automated processes. Additionally, specific hardware plays
a crucial role. For example, quickly and efficiently switching between different tools and abrasives increases productivity and reduces downtime. A robust and reliable tool drive contributes to consistency and precision, which is critical for achieving high-quality standards. When all elements are perfectly aligned, a better finish is often achieved compared to the manual process. Choosing the right partner Automating sanding processes offer numerous benefits, from increased productivity and improved quality
to a safer and more ergonomic work environment. The choice between a robot and a cobot depends on the specific application, but it is clear that the correct abrasives and application-specific tooling are essential for the project's success. Ultimately, choosing the right partner
is the most crucial factor for a successful automated sanding process. A partner who has expertise in robotics and a deep understanding of sanding processes and materials. Such a partner can support you from A to Z and offer a comprehensive solution that helps your company remain competitive in an increasingly challenging market. At Abrasive Finishing Systems as the UK partner for Cibo Robotics, we combine this knowledge to support you at every step of your automation project so you can confidently approach the future.
