What is it

Robotic Finishing

Automated robotic finishing systems combine state-of-the-art robotics with specialized tools to efficiently perform the final touches on manufactured products such as sanding, polishing, grinding, and painting tasks with high precision. These systems boost production quality, speed, and safety, delivering consistent and superior finishes.

Arcos excels in automating finishing processes. We have long been universally recognized as suppliers of reliable machinery and equipment, consistently leading the way in cutting-edge technology.

Consistent quality and superior finishes

Robotic finishing systems meet even the strictest quality standards: programmed for high accuracy, they follow exact paths and apply uniform pressure, maintaining precision in repetitive tasks. This minimizes variations among different pieces and ensures consistency, which is crucial for upholding the standards of high-quality production. Thanks to sensors and vision systems, these robots can detect and correct imperfections in real-time.

Cost-effectiveness and improved workplace safety

Although the upfront cost of robotic systems may be high, robotic systems offer significant long-term benefits by reducing the need for a large workforce and enhancing safety. Finishing processes often expose workers to hazards such as dust, chemicals, and sharp tools: robots can take on these dangerous tasks, reducing the risk of workplace injuries. Additionally, robots operate with high efficiency and minimal waste, helping to lower overall production costs. They can be easily programmed and reprogrammed, allowing them to adapt to a variety of finishing tasks and production requirements.
