Amtenbrink deploys Teqram's EasyGrinder to cut 1,500 parts a day - The Robot Report

Friedrich Amtenbrink GmbH, a German steel processing company with over 55 years of experience, has deployed Teqram BV’s EasyGrinder grinding robot to automate the post-processing of up to 1,500 flame-cut and plasma-cut parts daily. The EasyGrinder handles components ranging from 3/4 inch to 4 inches without complex programming, performing tasks such as slag removal, edge breaking, bevel grinding, and part marking autonomously after an initial shot blasting step. This automation has streamlined a previously time-consuming and physically demanding manual process involving multiple handling steps. The EasyGrinder’s advanced EasyEye 3D vision system and AI-based controller enable it to recognize pallets, stacks, and product geometries automatically, eliminating the need for manual programming. Friedrich Amtenbrink highlighted the robot’s efficiency by citing a batch of 400 heavy components requiring dot-peening, which the EasyGrinder completed overnight—work that would have taken at least two manual shifts.
