Resources and tools for abrasive automation.
If you’re new to robotic material removal, there is a lot to learn. That’s why 3M robotics experts have developed a set of tools and resources to help guide you through the automation process – from evaluating your current manual process to selecting a system integrator and every step in-between.
Thinking about robotic grinding and finishing:
-
Find out if you’re robot ready.
With robots becoming increasingly common in abrasive operations around the world, you may be wondering if your shop is a good candidate for robotics. 3M robotics experts developed an easy-to-use tool designed to answer that question.
Preparing for Partnership:
Unless you have an in-house robotics expert who’s going to design your robotic system, you’ll need to partner with a system integrator. Be ready to ask them questions – and be ready to answer the questions they have for you. The resources below will help you prepare for this important step in the automation process.
