Robotic sanders and polishers for automation

The Mirka AIROS, the first smart electric sander designed for robotic sanding applications, is now joined by new models: the Mirka AIOS sanding heads and the Mirka AIROP polishing head. In addition, the AIROS is available in a new small size.

Industry automation is a growing trend, and various sectors – including automotive, transportation and woodworking – are seeing a clear need for a complete package for automated processes. As a specialist in surface finishing technology, Mirka says it is at the forefront of innovation, introducing new robotic solutions for manufacturing.

When a square sander is needed, Mirka offers the AIOS 353CV with an 81 x 133 mm pad suitable for surfaces and corners alike. In the wood sector, such as in manufacturing furniture, doors and windows, the AIOS 353CV can be used to drive up productivity and finishing quality with robotic precision.

The new AIOS, AIROS and AIROP versions are engineered for robotised finessing; for ensuring consistent quality while saving time. For sanding, Mirka is aiming its AIOS 130NV at spot repair work in an automated process, such as those in automobile and transport manufacturing. The Mirka AIROS 150NV is the smallest AIROS sanding head yet, meant for more confined spaces, detail work and the sanding of small areas where manufacturers need workpiece de-flashing or deburring.

Mirka’s AIROP 312NV is a random orbital polisher with an electric polishing head for robot usage. Featuring a 77 mm pad, the AIROP 312NV is a robotic alternative for Mirka’s cordless polishers, and is well matched with Mirka’s polishing pads and compounds.
