Learn to program cobots online for grinding, sanding and deburring

Thanks to technological progress, cobots can now be used for finishing techniques such as sanding, polishing or deburring in small series, even by those who are not robotics specialists. But how is this done in practice? In this webinar we get together with Gibas to show how finishing processes can be programmed online with the aid of software from Robotiq.

Cobots are being used in an ever-expanding range of applications and developments in software have made the use of cobots for finishing operations worth considering even for small series. Software modules that make it possible to program force-sensitive processes on the basis of data from the cobot force sensors bring processes such as sanding, polishing or deburring within reach of every robot operator, even for 'small' series.

To provide practical insight into these possibilities, Sirris is organising a number of webinars and workshops as part of the COOCK project COBOFIN. During this webinar we work with production automation specialist Gibas to present the options and best practices for programming finishing processes online. It is shown how this can be done with a minimum of effort by using Robotiq's Copilot software.
