Robotiq Sanding Kit

The Robotiq Sanding Kit is a ready-to-use solution for automated sanding and deburring on Universal Robots arms. The kit includes an orbital sanding tool, a mounting bracket for the robot, sanding media in several grits, air control accessories and the Finishing Copilot software.

The software includes a path generator: after the user shows the robot six points, the robot maps out its own sanding path. Collaborative robots are sensitive and have force control, which keeps sanding and deburring consistent, so every part gets the same finish. It can be used on materials such as wood, plastic and metal.

The tool is pneumatic, with a 1/4 inch NPT air inlet. On CB-series robots the kit needs a Robotiq FT 300 force torque sensor, available separately in the shop. Automating this task removes an ergonomically demanding job and leaves operators free for other work.

Typical applications

• Sanding of wood, plastic and metal parts
• Deburring with force-controlled paths
• Consistent surface finishing in repetitive production
