Sanding Automation System Integration

eZRobotics delivers the Sanding Automation Solution System to boost production efficiency.
Optimally using surface defect data from in-line inspections, it auto-generates and executes precise robot sanding programs.

Overview

Sanding Automation System Integration

By deploying a sanding automation system that transforms a previously operator‑dependent process into robotic operation, we maximize process efficiency and safeguard product quality.

System Workflow Overview

  1. Inspect and analyze surface defects using an inspection vision system.
  2. Measure the product’s position and condition with 3D vision sensor.
  3. Send the defect and positional data to the Sanding Automation System,
    which assigns sanding points to each robot.
  4. Automatically generate an optimized sanding robot program
    based on the position and condition of the product.
  5. Send the sanding program to the robot for automatic execution of precise sanding.
  • Product Surface Defect Inspection
  • Product Position and Condition Measurement
  • Automatic Robot Sanding Program Generation
  • Seamless Automation of Existing Workflow

Sanding Automation System Workflow

  • Surface Inspection Process
    • Real-time inspection of product defect conditions
  • Auto-Sanding Process #1
    • Collect defect data from the surface inspection process.
    • Acquire real-time product position and condition data using a 3D vision sensor. (e.g. open/close status of door part)
    • Automatically generate robot programs based on case & rule-based logic.
    • Perform primary sanding operations.
  • Auto-Sanding Process #2
    • Collect results from the first sanding process. (including remaining defect points)
    • Acquire real-time product position and condition data using a 3D vision sensor.
    • Automatically generate robot programs based on case & rule-based logic.
    • Perform secondary sanding operations.

01 3D Process Review and Validation

  • Review existing process issues and areas of improvement to determine the optimal sanding process scenario.
  • Design appropriate processes and select hardware to ensure efficiency and stability in sanding operations.
  • Pre-validate equipment specifications/workability and define robot task zones to prevent collisions.
Benefits
  • Optimized hardware configurations and process scenarios tailored for the Sanding Automation Solution.
  • Early detection and resolution of potential issues reduces commissioning time.

02 3D Vision Sensor Integration

  • Review requirements and specifications to select an optimal 3D vision system.
  • Determine ideal number of sensors and measurement zones to enhance accuracy.
  • Install and configure the 3D vision sensors.
Benefits
  • Improved precision in real-time detection of product position and conditions during the sanding process.
  • Enhanced accuracy in automatically generated robot programs based on real-time product data.

03 Sanding Automation Solution Integration

  • Build a virtual workspace and configure the initial program.
  • Configure the system to link the inspection defect data with the 3D vision data.
  • Define and apply robot program parameters (e.g. speed, allowable angles, height tolerances).
  • Build and apply a database for sanding areas and conditions.
Benefits
  • Automatically generate robot programs that flexibly adapts to varying defect locations and product conditions.
  • Create optimized sanding programs that dynamically adjust conditions (e.g. motor RPM, sanding time) based on defect characteristics such as color, size, and type.

04 Sanding Automation System Implementation

  • Install and configure the hardware and software for the Sanding Automation Solution.
  • Build a fully automated system that links the hardware and software to receive defect data and real-time product position/condition, automatically generate robot programs and execute sanding operations.
Benefits
  • Reduce costs by automating the manual process.
  • Improve sanding quality and enable systematic traceability and data management.
