Cobots taking the lead in furniture Industry: Embracing Sanding and Polishing by cobots

 Collaborative robots offer greater flexibility than their larger counterparts contained in cages since they may be quickly moved between different machines and processes within the cabinet shop, giving essential support to the manufacturing process.

Due to the limits of previous industrial robots, automating operations such as molding a piece of wood for chair backs or sanding cabinet doors and headboards was not as common in the past. 

To justify automation, these robots required safety guarding, extensive programming, and a large number of units, making them less suited for these specific woodworking activities. However, in recent years, we've seen an increase in the employment of collaborative robots in the wood, furniture, and cabinet manufacturing industries.

Let’s discuss the problem

While each organization is unique, one recurring issue we see in cabinet and furniture factories and shops is the difficulty created by sanding tasks. Sanding by hand is mostly dull, Dirty, and dangerous.

Furthermore, because of the surroundings and the increased risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries connected with this repetitious work, it can be dangerous.

Cobots: the right answer 

Collaborative robots have transformed cabinet and furniture manufacturing by smoothly performing a variety of jobs. They excel at loading and unloading CNC routers, saws, sanders, and other processing tools, which helps to streamline the manufacturing process. Furthermore, these robots can efficiently dispense adhesive and sealers, assuring accurate and constant application. Furthermore, they play an important role in component assembly, adopting automated screwdriving and sanding procedures to attain high levels of accuracy and efficiency. Their adaptability and agility have made them useful tools in the business, increasing productivity and boosting overall product quality.
