Robotic Grinding
Robotic Grinding
Automate Grinding to Eliminate Rework and Protect Your Team
Force-controlled robotic grinding keeps steady pressure on any part shape, extends abrasive life by 200 to 300 percent, and takes the strain and dust exposure off your operators.
The Problem
The Problem
Manual grinding is costing you more than labor
Every hand-ground part carries hidden costs.
Finish varies part to part
Operators cannot hold uniform pressure on contoured surfaces, so every part looks a little different. Inspection catches it late, and rework piles up on the floor.
Abrasives burn out early
Uneven pressure chews through pads and discs long before their rated life. Consumable cost climbs, and every changeover is downtime you are paying for.
Your people are wearing out
Vibration, fatigue, injury risk, and particulate exposure make grinding the job nobody wants. The skilled hands you still have are leaving, and nobody is lining up to replace them.
What Changes on the Floor
Consistent force. Repeatable finish. Every part.
Force-controlled robotic grinding keeps steady pressure on any part shape, extends abrasive life by 200 to 300 percent, and takes the strain and dust exposure off your operators.
200 to 300 percent longer abrasive life
Up to 40 mm of linear stroke keeps contact on any contour
100 percent duty cycle servo spindles that run for years
Customer STORY
Customer STORY
9x faster on every bumper
“For most bumpers, it takes between, like, eight and ten minutes to do one, whereas normally that probably takes a fabricator about an hour to an hour and a half.”
Expedition One builds heavy duty off-road bumpers in Ogden, Utah. Grinding time per bumper dropped from 1 to 1.5 hours down to 8 to 10 minutes.

How to get started
You don't have to work out tooling, force control, and cycle time on your own. We prove the process on your parts before you commit to anything.
Talk to our engineers
Send us the part, the material, and the finish you are chasing. A PushCorp application engineer walks the process with you, with nothing to buy.
Prove it in our Demo Lab
We run your real parts with the right spindle, abrasive, and force control, then tune pressure and cycle time until the finish repeats.
Run it in production
Every part leaves the cell with the same finish, abrasives last two to three times longer, and your people are off the grinder for good.
