Precision cutting blade dipping process with ReBeL robot and Schunk gripper

The use of the ReBeL robot in combination with a Schunk gripper has automated the dipping process for precision cutting knives. These knives are now automatically dipped in 175°C protective wax and then deposited cleanly and evenly. Previously, this task had to be carried out manually by a worker using pliers, which was not only strenuous and monotonous, but also entailed a high risk of burns. The ReBeL robot now takes over this task, significantly increasing safety and efficiency.

The advantages of this solution are manifold. Firstly, the risk of burns from the hot pot has been completely eliminated, which has significantly improved safety in the workplace. Secondly, the introduction of the robot has made working conditions more interesting, as the worker now operates the robot instead of performing the monotonous and dangerous task manually. Thirdly, the automation of the dipping process has freed up additional time so that the worker can pack and label the already finished knives at the same time.

Overall, the use of the ReBeL robot is a win-win situation for everyone involved. The automation of the dipping process has not only increased safety and efficiency, but has also improved working conditions and created additional time for other tasks.
