One of the most preferred robotic sanding and polishing tool makers in Europe, Mirka will no longer depend on the manual task performances. Human hand driven polishing or sanding activities are time consuming, hazardous, and expensive, hence to reduce dependency on human ability Mirka now has extended its dependence on automation solutions by partnering with ABB Robotics. Thus, now Mirka tools will be able to boost automation accessibility and offer innovative solutions for robotic sanding and polishing.
‘There is enormous potential for companies in various industries to streamline their surface finishing processes through automation. We know this because we have already seen the results in factories all over the world,’ says Stefan Sjöberg, CEO of Mirka.
ABB Robotics Ecosystem was launched in 2023 and are known for creating plug-and-play solutions by partnering with companies and manufacturers who develop new robotic solutions, software and accessories. The key aim of the collaboration is to simplify automation and help small and medium-sized enterprises optimize their production processes.
In practice, ecosystem members collaborate with ABB to develop robotic tools and solutions that seamlessly integrate with ABB’s comprehensive automation portfolio – including industrial robots, collaborative robots (cobots), advanced software such as RobotStudio and the OmniCore control platform. These solutions are tailored to meet specific end-user needs, enabling greater flexibility, performance, and ease of deployment across a wide range of applications.
Evald Lassus, business sector manager at Mirka, commented:
‘Mirka has been developing surface finishing solutions for over eighty years, and ABB – and its predecessor ASEA Brown Boveri – has been a pioneer in automation since the 1970s. Together, we bring a wealth of experience. This new collaboration expands our ability to develop and deliver leading solutions in automated surface finishing to both existing and future customers.’
