OMNIROBOTIC | PANEL SANDING ASSISTANT

Solving the skilled labor shortage with an affordable, advanced machine that anyone can use

The revolutionary robotic Panel Sanding Assistant from Omnirobotic is designed to solve the issue of finding skilled labour while improving the quality of your sanding operations. Simply place your panels on one of the two tables and the overhead 3D cameras will determine their orientation and type, and scan for both the shape and depth. It will then autonomously sand each door style whether it be a shaker or raised panel type, with a quality second to none. It can sand the center of an MDF shaker door panel and also the face of the door, if required. No need to manually touch up the inside edges or corners. The sanding presets are simply selected by the operator in advance.

With its twin table system the robot can sand on one table while the operator is unloading and loading on the other.  This allows for continuous production which greatly improves productivity. A single operator could potentially operate two Panel Sanding Assistants for even greater payback!

If you want to extend your cutter life, you need to produce an optimum chip load. And to achieve faster feed rates, you need to have axis servo drives large enough to move the machine’s mass at a rapid speed.

Akhurst is very proud of our involvement in the plant expansion of Kingswood Cabinets of Calgary, Alberta.  Kingswood recently relocated to a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
