Automated Finishing Cell: research, expand, and implement grinding and part manipulation
EF 2025-26 · 2025-07-14
Résumé
This project aims to advance in-house automation capabilities by designing and implementing an automated finishing cell of the firm's product lines. Through the addition and programming of an existing industrial robot, the initiative will enhance part quality consistency and reduce manual handling risks. This knowledge will serve as the foundation for replicating automation across additional cells and ultimately developing market-ready foundry automation solutions, contributing to a scalable and commercially viable automated finishing system.

Description
This project aims to advance in-house automation capabilities by designing and implementing an automated finishing cell of the firm's product lines.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à faire progresser les capacités d’automatisation internes en concevant et en mettant en œuvre une cellule de finition automatisée pour les lignes de produits de l’entreprise. Grâce à l’ajout et à la programmation d’un robot industriel existant, cette initiative permettra d’améliorer la qualité et la cohérence des pièces et de réduire les risques liés à la manipulation manuelle. Ces connaissances serviront de base pour reproduire l’automatisation dans d’autres cellules et, à terme, développer des solutions d’automatisation de fonderie prêtes à être commercialisées, contribuant ainsi à la mise en place d’un système de finition automatisé évolutif et commercialement viable.
