Barrel sanding machine

Project goals:

Automation of a manual process through the design and manufacture of ad hoc system:

  • Design and manufacture of an automation for the automatic sanding of wooden barrels, in different shapes and dimensions, fully configurable from user interface
  • Reduction of cycle times compared to market standards
  • Flexible solution, ideal for frequent changes of product dimensions and shapes
