Teqram deploys automated grinding robot in 2 states with AMP - The Robot Report

Teqram, a Dutch robotics manufacturer, has deployed its AI-powered EasyGrinder robotic grinding systems for the first time in the U.S. at Accurate Metal Products (AMP), a precision steel fabricator with locations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Rockford, Illinois. The EasyGrinder automates the physically demanding task of surface preparation and finishing of flame- and plasma-cut steel parts, achieving surface preparation levels SSPC-SP5/SP11. Utilizing artificial intelligence and advanced 3D vision, the system autonomously identifies, picks up, and processes parts with an automatic tool changer and an integrated flipping mechanism (EasyFlipper) to clean both sides. It removes slag, lead-ins, rounds edges, and cleans interior diameters without requiring programming. AMP, an ISO 9001-certified company serving industries such as mining, energy, agriculture, and defense, views the EasyGrinder as a strategic addition to its technology portfolio that enhances precision and frees skilled tradespeople for higher-value work rather than replacing them
