Barrel Sanding GC –

  • Innovative robotic cell to automate the sanding of all types of barrels
  • Polyvalent solution for sanding casks and vats (round; conical truncated; oval)
  • Workforce cost saving
  • Define the profile of the barrel and optimize the machining path to limit material loss
  • Eliminates all the risks associated with handling, including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) that your operators may experience

  • Safety light curtain

– Options of the automated belt sander –

  • Band and/or disc sanding
  • Automatic hammer tool for hoops
  • Automatic marking tool for hoops position
  • Aerial work platform

– Operation of the barrel sanding robot –

Product is placed on the rotary table and oriented by the bung hole, two pairs of clamping jaws center and lock the product. The robot uses two tools, a belt sander for the first sanding and an orbital sander for the finishing sanding.
To make the sanding, the robot oscillates from the top to the bottom of a delimited area selected by the operator. This manner allows to sand all the surface and the parameters of sanding are adjustable by the operators.

– Advantages of the automatic sanding machine compared to manual jointing –

Human benefits

  • MSD risk removal
  • Improvement of operator safety

Material benefits

  • Cleanliness and safety: presence of a suction
    pipe to limit the ejection of dust
  • Developed for 2 tools, a belt sander and an
    orbital sander

Industrial benefits

  • Consistency (Speed and quality) of sanding
  • Production of 1 cask per day
  • Simple use: system easily controllable by a
    control panel (HMI)
  • Bottom sanding casks
  • Sanding of all the types of casks in the
    dimensions:

    •  Diameter 2700mm – Height 4200
      (Without bottom sanding)
    • Diameter 2700mm – Height 2700mm
      (With bottom sanding)
