Grinding and surface finishing of fabricated parts is one of the classic 3D (Dull, Dirty, Dangerous) applications that are perfect for robot automation. Unfortunately, automating the grinding of large fabrications means multiple robots and complex part repositioning, which add significant cost and extended cycle times while introducing new sources of variation in the process. At Automate 2026, Güdel will demonstrate how it is overcoming the limitations of traditional fixed-robot cells by adding two additional degrees of freedom to heavy-duty grinding applications.

Condition Monitoring Sensor Prevents Jams on Conveyor Lines

TURCK, a provider of industrial automation solutions, announced the CMMT Condition Monitoring sensor designed to detect magnetic field changes on three axes. This feature indicates what direction the target object is traveling in relation to the sensor, detects rotation, and detects ferrous metal. In addition, it provides temperature measurement to monitor changes in motor operation and identify possible faults in electromagnetic motors. When packages contain strong magnets, they often pose a hidden risk on conveyors. Read More
