Collaborative robot – cobot applications
To complete our range of sanding systems, GEBE2 now supplies a collaborative robot based on the cobot SYB 3 from the French manufacturer ISYBOT.
Collaborative robots revolutionise finishing processes such as sanding and polishing, offering precision and optimum efficiency. It’s designed to collaborate safely with operators, improving productivity while reducing the hardship of labor.
With cutting-edge technology and exceptional adaptability, our collaborative robots easily adapt to the specific requirements of step in the finishing process, ensuring superior quality results.
This collaborative robot is easy to control in 3 operating modes:
Assistance: The operator performs the toolpath, the robot applies the desired force and absorbs a huge amount of tool vibrations.
Playback: The operator performs a first toolpath, the robot repeats the trajectory by applying the force and the desired forward speed. The operator can take control of the robot any time.
Parallelisation: The operator teaches 2 or 4 points on a flat or curved surface, the robot sands automatically this line or area (depending on the number of teached points.
For each operation mode the operator can use the user-friendly interface to define different sanding parameters, such as the applied force, the rotation speed of the sander…
The cobot relieves operators from physically demanding and repetitive tasks. It helps to improve working conditions and prevent musculoskeletal disorders.
Designed to collaborate with operators without requiring physical safety barriers, it reduces the risk of accidents and creates a safer working environment.
The collaborative robot performs tasks with consistent precision, reducing potential human error. It leads to an overall improvement in the quality of finished products.
Easier to program and integrate into existing production processes, it reduces the time needed to implement process automation.
The cobot is mounted on a cart (which can be motorized), allowing it to be moved through the workshops.
GEBE2 invites customers and prospects to conduct trials in its workshops on samples to assess the relevance of using the cobot for their sanding needs.
This pre-sales step helps mitigate the risks associated with the process for our industrial partners.
GEBE2 provides its customers and prospects the opportunity to test the cobot in “real-life conditions” on their site. This enables us to detect and consider any potential constraints related to the customer’s environment for future integration. It also initiates communication with production teams to involve and raise their awareness.
GEBE2 provides its customers and prospects the opportunity to rent a cobot for one month to test the solution within their facilities, determine the range of parts that can be sanded using the equipment, and study how to reorganise production to integrate the cobot. This step allows various production teams to try out the machine.

The cobot ensures the expected surface quality and preserves operators’ time, allowing them to focus on high-value-added tasks.
GEBE2’s collaborative robot has already proved its worth in sanding operations on steel and aluminium parts of various shapes and sizes.
Whether it’s surface preparation before painting, or finishing for an appearance part, the cobot delivers consistent sanding quality.
