Automated Grinding & Deburring Made Simple
From heavy-duty grinding to precision deburring, Nordbo Robotics delivers standardized machines that are flexible, easy to use, and built for industrial performance.
Why Automate Grinding & Deburring?
Consistency & Quality
Manual grinding and deburring often lead to variation from part to part. Automation ensures a uniform finish, precise edge removal, and repeatable quality across all batches.
Worker Safety
Grinding and deburring create dust, sparks, and vibration — exposing workers to unhealthy and risky conditions. Robots take over the heavy, dirty, and dangerous tasks, allowing your team to focus on higher-value work.
Throughput & Efficiency
Manual work is slow and difficult to scale. With automated grinding and deburring, you can achieve higher output, reduce bottlenecks, and handle more parts per shift without adding more manpower.
Flexibility
Parts come in many shapes and sizes, and production needs change. Our machines are designed to quickly switch between programs, giving you flexibility whether you run high-volume series or smaller, varied batches.
Our Standardized Machines
Compact, versatile solutions designed for small to medium parts with advanced programming and finishing technologies.
Grinding & Deburring Machines
Efficient, reliable machines for parts up to 600×600×600 mm.
- Can be equipped with multiple grinding or deburring tools.
- Suited for high-volume precision tasks.
- Easy to program with Mimic, CAD/CAM, or traditional teach programming.
Hybrid Machines
One system, multiple finishing processes.
- Combines grinding, deburring, sanding, or polishing in one cell.
- Uses tool changers or multiple mounted tools for flexibility.
- Perfect for workshops with varied part requirements.
Custom Machines
Tailored for your unique parts and production needs.
- Designed for parts larger than 600×600×600 mm or complex geometries.
- Fully configurable with special fixturing, tools, and automation options.
- Ideal for industries with demanding quality standards.
Part-in-Hand vs. Tool-in-Hand
Choosing the right setup depends on your parts, processes, and flexibility needs.
Part-in-Hand
- The robot moves the part against one or several fixed tools.
- Best suited for small to medium parts.
- Simplifies fixture design.
- Enables cost-effective use of multiple tools in one setup.
Tool-in-Hand
- The robot holds and moves the tool around a fixed part.
- Works well for larger or heavy parts where moving the part is impractical.
- Can be applied to all part sizes when combined with Mimic, allowing operators to create programs for new parts quickly.
Key Features Across All Machines
Advanced programming and automation technologies ensure consistent quality, flexibility, and efficiency.
Mimic Fast Programming & Know-How Transfer
Skilled operators can transfer their expertise directly to the robot, creating programs in minutes without coding.
3D Scan Compensation & Pose Detection
Scanning not only compensates for part variations but also enables pose detection and integrated quality control.
Force Feedback Optimization & Tolerance Handling
Force feedback automatically tunes programs for consistent finishing, compensates for tolerance variations, and improves tool life.
Passive & Active Compliance
Simplifies programming (with or without Mimic) and ensures smooth, uniform finishing across complex geometries.
Flexible Programming Options
Choose the programming approach that best fits your workflow and part variation.
- Mimic – Operator Know-how Transfer - With Mimic, skilled operators can demonstrate the grinding or deburring motion directly. The robot learns in real time, enabling fast setup for new parts without coding.
- CAD/CAM Import - For parts already designed in CAD, tool paths can be generated and imported directly into the system. This is ideal for repeatable, high-precision processes.
- 3D Scan Compensation - Scanned parts can be automatically aligned, and paths adjusted to match real-world part tolerances. Ensures accuracy even with part variation.
- Manual Teaching - For simple setups, operators can use standard teach programming to quickly guide the robot.
We Don’t Just Deliver Machines – We Deliver Success
