The result is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a surface that is ready to paint<\/li>\n<li>a surface that is suitable for assembly by bonding<\/li>\n<li>a finished piece with a matte, brushed or gloss effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This process is still mainly done by hand as the quality of the sanding depends on the operator&#8217;s skill and dexterity. It is, though, a particularly arduous task, that exposes operators to dust that frequently generates MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorders).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cd5b1b;\">GEBE2 has developed a <strong>robotic sanding solution<\/strong> that reproduces the operator&#8217;s gestures and sensitivity. <strong>The central element, the effector, is equipped with a random orbital electric sander and a compliant device<\/strong> that applies a constant force in all directions, to the nearest N.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To enhance the autonomy and performance of their cells, GEBE2 has equipped its robots with automatic disc changers that provide for using a range of grain sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Sanding quality is strongly related to the regularity of the sander&#8217;s motion on the part. Our offline programming software simulates all possible trajectories with a graphic display of the material&#8217;s removal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Download our dedicated flyer about robotic composite sanding&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#cd5b1b&#8221; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-download&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bounceIn&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fgebe2-et.com%2Fen%2Fdownloads%2F|title:Flyer%20number%201%20of%20the%20finishing%20section&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_hoverbox image=&#8221;16279&#8243; primary_title=&#8221;&#8221; hover_title=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; hover_background_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; hover_btn_title=&#8221;Discover the solution&#8221; hover_btn_style=&#8221;custom&#8221; hover_btn_custom_background=&#8221;#cd5b1b&#8221; hover_btn_custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; hover_add_button=&#8221;true&#8221; hover_custom_background=&#8221;#2f3787&#8243; hover_btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fgebe2-et.com%2Fen%2Fmetallic%2Frobotic-sanding%2F|title:Robotic%20composite%20sanding||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.2em; color: #ffffff;\">Robotic metal sanding<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_hoverbox][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 1.1em;\"><em><span style=\"color: #2f3787;\">We also provide solutions for robotic<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/gebe2-et.com\/en\/robotic-finishing\/sanding-robot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sanding of metallic materials<\/a>.<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=&#8221;bg_color&#8221; bg_override=&#8221;full&#8221; bg_color_value=&#8221;#f2f2f2&#8243;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR CELLS<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>GEBE2 developed sanding cell with excellent dust collection at the source.<\/li>\n<li>Disk changer on board the robot<\/li>\n<li>Multi-sander effectors for large parts<\/li>\n<li>Our own compliance reducing maintenance costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/Az2CZYHjCR0?t=8&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60px&#8221;][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"ult-content-box-container \" >\t<a class=\"ult-content-box-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/gebe2-et.com\/en\/downloads\/\" title=\"Downloads\" >\t\t<div class=\"ult-content-box\" style=\"box-shadow: px px px px none;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:transparent;padding-top:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:15px;-webkit-transition: all 700ms ease;-moz-transition: all 700ms ease;-ms-transition: all 700ms ease;-o-transition: all 700ms ease;transition: all 700ms ease;\"  data-hover_bg_color=\"#f2f2f2\"  data-hover_box_shadow=\"none\"     data-border_color=\"transparent\" >[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div id=\"Info-box-wrap-8861\" class=\"aio-icon-box default-icon\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon-header\">\n<p class=\"aio-icon-title ult-responsive\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-ultimate-target=\"#Info-box-wrap-8861 .aio-icon-title\" data-responsive-json-new=\"{&quot;font-size&quot;:&quot;desktop:20px;&quot;,&quot;line-height&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.2em;\">PRESS REVIEW ROBOTIC SANDING<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Discover the article The A vision about the robotic sanding process.&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#cd5b1b&#8221; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-download&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fgebe2-et.com%2Fen%2Fdownloads%2F|title:Download%20the%20article%20in%20English%20or%20Chinese%20in%20the%20press%20section.&#8221;]\t\t<\/div>\t<\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Programming sanding operations<\/h3>\n<p>GEBE2 provides custom-engineered CAD\/CAM software for robotic sanding that programs trajectories in hidden time based on the CAD file of the part.
