Automation for All: How PushCorp’s XSeries Can Help Bring Robotic Material Removal to Every Shop

A New Era in Manufacturing 

 

For decades, robotic automation has been dominated by large manufacturers with the resources to build custom robotic systems. But today, automation is no longer just for the biggest players. Small and medium manufacturers (SMMs) face the same pressures—labor shortages, rising costs, and increasing quality demands—but with fewer resources to solve them. 

The good news? Robotic material removal is now more accessible than ever. With the right tools, manufacturers can bring precision, consistency, and efficiency to grinding, sanding, and polishing—without the complexity that’s traditionally made automation intimidating. 

That’s why PushCorp is launching the XSeries—a platform of robotic tooling solutions designed to simplify robotic material removal, making automation easier to integrate, scale, and sustain. 

But let’s be clear: PushCorp doesn’t sell robots or provide system integration services. We provide the critical robotic tooling—the spindles, force compliance devices, and other equipment—that enable automation. And with our robust network of system integrators, we can help manufacturers get connected with the right partners to successfully automate their material removal process. To put it another way, even though we don’t do everything, you can start with PushCorp. 

 

Why Small and Medium Manufacturers Need Automation 

Grinding, sanding, and polishing are essential processes in manufacturing—but they come with serious challenges: 

  • Physically demanding: Manual finishing leads to fatigue, repetitive strain injuries, and hazardous exposure to dust and vibration. 
  • Inconsistent: Variability in manual work creates quality issues, requiring rework and leading to wasted materials. 
  • Difficult to staff: With an aging workforce and fewer skilled laborers available, manufacturers struggle to fill these jobs. 
  • A production bottleneck: Manual finishing slows down production, making it difficult to scale operations efficiently. 

Enter automation. With the right robotic tooling, manufacturers can integrate grinding, sanding, and polishing into robotic cells—eliminating bottlenecks, improving quality, and protecting workers from harmful conditions. 

That’s where the XSeries from PushCorp comes in. Our robotic tooling solutions give manufacturers the technology they need to automate material removal effectively. 

 

The XSeries from PushCorp: Robotic Tooling Solutions Designed for Automation 

Unlike one-size-fits-all tools that require heavy customization, the XSeries from PushCorp is application-driven—meaning it’s designed to meet the specific demands of robotic grinding, sanding, and finishing. Instead of buying standalone components and figuring out how to integrate them, manufacturers can choose the right PushCorp tooling solution pairing for their needs as a starting point, which we then help validate through our de-risking process.

We Provide the Tools—And Connect You with the Right Partners 

At PushCorp, we know that choosing the right robotic tooling is only part of the equation. Successful automation requires a complete robotic system—one that includes not just tooling, but also the right robotic arm, software, and integration expertise. 

That’s why we’ve built a strong System Integrator Network to help manufacturers take the next step. When you start with PushCorp, we can connect you with a trusted integration partner who will help design and implement a fully functional robotic material removal system tailored to your needs.  

These partners are leading system builders that have a proven track record in automating material removal and received on-site training with PushCorp’s application engineers. Have piece of mind that these companies will help you get the results you are looking for.  

But if you are already working with a trusted system integrator, we will work with them as well. 

Why does this matter? Many manufacturers hesitate to adopt automation because they’re unsure where to start. We help eliminate that uncertainty. By choosing the XSeries from PushCorp, you’re not just getting world-class robotic tooling—you’re also gaining access to a team of skilled engineers who can help make robotic grinding, sanding, and polishing a seamless reality. 

 

Why Now Is the Time to Automate 

Manufacturers across North America are turning to robotic automation to stay competitive. The advantages are clear: 

Increased throughput – Robots don’t get tired, ensuring non-stop productivity.
Better quality – Consistent finishes mean less rework and material waste.
Improved safety – Automating hazardous tasks protects workers and reduces injury risks.
Scalability – Start with one application, expand as needed. 

With the XSeries Robotic Tooling Solutions from PushCorp, manufacturers can bring automation to grinding, sanding, and polishing without reinventing their entire workflow. And with PushCorp’s integrator network, they’ll have the right partners in place to ensure success.
