Discuss with Our Engineers

PushCorp specializes in robotic tooling solutions that make it easier for manufacturers to automate tough, repetitive, and often dangerous material removal tasks.

From grinding and sanding to weld shaving and gate removal, our application-focused tooling is backed by over 30 years of innovation, bringing safety, consistency, and efficiency to your production floor.

Whether you are a small shop taking your first steps into robotics or a large manufacturer looking to scale throughput, our material removal robot tooling
solutions are built to simplify automation and achieve high quality results faster

Our Core Applications

Grinding

Manual grinding is tough on people and inconsistent on parts. Automating grinding reduces rework, improves finish quality, and takes the pressure off your team.

Finishing

Manual finishing is slow, tiring, and hard to repeat consistently. PushCorp’s robotic finishing solutions simplify this final step by automating polishing tasks to reduce labor strain, improve part quality, and save valuable time.

Sanding

Manual sanding is tedious, inconsistent, and tough on your team. Automating the process improves surface quality, cuts material waste, and keeps your people focused on higher-value work.

Deburring

Robotic deburring is an application where PushCorp’s EOAT equipment excels. Our precise force and constant speed end effectors account for part variability and abrasive wear. Therefore, manual processes can be automated easier than ever.

Polishing

Robotic, automated polishing is an application where PushCorp’s equipment excels. Our precise force and constant speed tooling helps account for part variability and abrasive wear. Therefore, manual processes can be automated easier than ever.

Deflashing

Deflashing is a material-removal process that removes the “flash” after a part comes out of a mold. This can occur when a mold is worn out or the part’s geometry is very complex, so the viscous material seeps from the cavity. This can be seen with both metal and plastic parts, so the process to remove this material can be quite different.

Routing, Cutting & Milling

Routing, cutting, and milling are high-speed material removal processes that demand precision, rigidity, and operator safety. These processes are tough, dusty, and risky to perform manually. Automating them with robotic routing, cutting, and milling improves safety, reduces variation, and delivers clean, consistent edges and profiles across every part.

Weld Shaving

PushCorp robotic, weld-shaving technology is the most efficient way possible to completely remove welds in a single pass. These heavy-duty cutting tools are able to remove typical steel welds (up to 3 inches in width), quickly and efficiently at rates up to 3 inch3/minute.

Robotic Casting Finishing

PushCorp servo spindles have been deployed around the globe to help automate robotic casting finishing processes. Now, more than ever, foundries are focusing on providing safer work environments and higher quality parts.

Drilling

PushCorp force compliance devices and servo spindles are a must-have for robotic drilling applications. Without it, position-based drilling is extremely difficult to automate. A robot moves from point A to point B without any regard for the amount of force it is applying.

Why to Automate Material Removal?

Automate Material Removal
  • Consistent, high-quality finishes on every part
  • Reduced risk of injury from hazardous tools or repetitive motion
  • Faster cycle times and fewer process bottlenecks
  • Less rework and lower abrasive/tool consumption
  • Frees up skilled labor for higher-value work

Force Control Devices

Force Control Devices For
All Applications

PushCorp’s force control devices give robots the ability to apply consistent, controlled pressure during material removal applications. By allowing the tool to float independently, With up to 40mm of linear stroke, they are able to maintain contact with the surface even as part geometry or abrasive wear changes. This results in smoother finishes, better quality, and more reliable performance in grinding, sanding, polishing, and drilling applications.
