Automation of weld bead removal using 3M(TM) abrasives for robotic polishing.

Would you like to automate the welding bead removal process, which has a high workload and involves risks? *Video explanations and case studies available.

The process of removing weld beads after welding is a crucial step that affects the finish of the product. However, this task, which involves processing while scattering sparks and dust, is considered to be very demanding and poses a high level of danger for human workers. As more customers face challenges related to improving work environments, safety measures, and a serious shortage of personnel, there are increasing opportunities to consider automation using robots and automated machines. 3M can support customers in selecting the most suitable abrasives for weld bead removal and in introducing system integrators to realize automation, leveraging our years of experience in the abrasives business. ■ Case Study 1: Toyo Daikei Steel Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. - Application: Removal of weld beads from the inner surface of pipes - Abrasive Used: 3M(TM) Cubitron(TM) II Flap Disc 967A ■ Case Study 2: Aichi Sangyo Co., Ltd. - Application: Weld bead removal system - Abrasive Used: 3M(TM) Cubitron(TM) II Flap Disc 967A *Currently, you can download materials summarizing case studies and a "Guide to Automation."
