The use of automation systems offers small and medium-sized enterprises an excellent opportunity to strengthen their competitiveness, overcome the shortage of skilled workers and make production processes more efficient. We also develop customized automation solutions for SMEs to make them more flexible, productive and cost-efficient.
The Bavarian family business Rondo, known for its handmade woodburning stoves, was faced with a new challenge: the increasing demand led to an overburdening of the employees. In particular, the manual grinding of the weld seams was a major strain on the small team. To relieve the strain on employees and increase productivity, Rondo boss Stephan Schneider decided to automate this process. Together with our partner FerRobotics, we have developed a tailor-made solution for rondo that combines an industrial robot with the AAK 505 end effector. This system package not only enables extremely fast, consistent and highly precise surface processing of the stove shells, but also has a fully automatic tool changing system that makes the automated grinding process seamless.
This freed the employees from physically strenuous work, allowing them to concentrate on programming the robot. This automation not only led to a significant improvement in surface quality, but also to considerable savings in time and abrasives, resulting in a payback period of less than 16 months. By automating the grinding process, rondo has been able to strengthen its competitiveness and prepare itself for the future. The company shows how tradition and innovation can be successfully combined.
