Mirka aims at improving services in the automation domain by partnering with ABB Robotics Ecosystem. For the tool makers this new collaboration assists them in expanding the brand\u2019s access to the automated surface finishing solutions, thereby making the advanced services now more accessible to both the end users and system integrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018There 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,\u2019 says Stefan Sj\u00f6berg, CEO of Mirka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, ecosystem members collaborate with ABB to develop robotic tools and solutions that seamlessly integrate with ABB\u2019s comprehensive automation portfolio \u2013 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evald Lassus, business sector manager at Mirka, commented: \u202f\u202f\u00a0
\u2018Mirka has been developing surface finishing solutions for over eighty years, and ABB \u2013 and its predecessor ASEA Brown Boveri \u2013 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.\u2019\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
