Robotized Acoustic Micro Drilling

Our sister company GEBE2 designs and manufactures robotic cells with multi-spindle heads that provide greater flexibility than special machines, and are more cost-effective than solutions based on conventional CNC machine. This pioneering solution has been chosen to produce most of the acoustic panels for the LEAP. To give the drilling cell greater autonomy, a second robot can perform the drill bits changeover in hidden time. A sanding finish operation can also be carried out using the robot with our own sanding end-effector.

Robotized Sanding

Inescapable step within parts manufacturing and preparation, sanding still is a tedious, manual operation with erratic quality. In order to get this process automated, our sister company GEBE2 has developed a sanding robot working using a smart effector able to reproduce man’s gesture; a specific programming methods and an automated management of sanding consumables. The central element, the effector, is equipped with a random orbital electric sander and a compliant device that applies a constant force in all directions.

Robotized trimming

Our sister company, GEBE2 designs and builds robotic solutions to perform trimming operations. To do this, we rely on methods of transforming parts in space based on our experience in the field of machining (definition of the cutting parameter). We thus provide robotic trimming cells for all your composite or metal parts.

Ultrasonic Cutting

For more than 25 years, our sister company SONIMAT has been designing ultrasonic cutting solutions for composites materials. With multiple advantages such has : no fraying, reduced cutting effort, increased blade life-time and cauterization of your products; our composite manufacturing process can fit manual or automated needs. Indeed, this technology is available in a portative equipment (SSP) or in a wide range of end-effectors suitable for automated machinery : robot cells, CN machines, XY tables.
