King’s Class Automation: Fast and Exact Sanding with Feeling Competence

Contact-sensitive processing delivers top surface while eliminating retooling efforts

Clients expect neatly ground edges. Amer Sports produces the ski brands Atomic and Salomon, approximately 1,100 models and varying carving types. “Grinding the ski tips is a rather complex task, since it needs absolutely consistent contact force”, explains Stephan Buchsteiner, Head of Industrial Operations Ski. Until now every model required an individual program, which caused considerable retooling efforts. Thanks to FerRobotics this has changed completely. Furthermore, the flexible precision of the Active Compliant Technology has reduced the cycle times and meets them reliably, additionally consumables have decreased as well.
