Grinding and polishing of implants with a KUKA robot

Aesculaps benchmark factory in Tuttlingen manufactures high-quality implants. In the past, work in this field was primarily carried out manually. Then Aesculap wanted to optimize the entire process. The motivation to do this was strong pressure to reduce costs and the resultant desire for higher cost-effectiveness. It was therefore important, above all, to shorten production times and reduce expenses. The company decided to use six-axis jointed-arm robots for the grinding and polishing of hip prosthesis shafts. What Aesculap demanded most of all from these robots was high repeatability, in order to guarantee a reproducible process and thus consistently high quality. The company also required a high degree of flexibility.
