PushCorp Sand X Solution

Grippers & Tools

PushCorp's Sand X Solution is a lightweight, powerful family of products for your surface finishing applications. For over 30 years PushCorp has designed and built Robotic Tooling to aid in material removal processes such as grinding, sanding, deburring, polishing, routing, deflshing, and drilling. This tooling has been used globally on industrial robots for decades and has now been redesigned for collaborative and small industrial robots.  

The Sand X Solution comes with the tooling you need to jumpstart your sanding and surface finishing process.

With 30 years of experience, our application engineers are ready to connect with you today and recommend the best material removal equipment for your process.

There are two main components that make up this solution - the Adjustable Force Device (AFD) and the motor (Pneumatic or Brushless DC Servo). The AFD's main purpose is to apply constant force - you can think of this tool like a precise muscle for the robot. These tools feature 20mm of linear stroke that provides constant force throughout to help make programming easier and to account for variations in the part and fixturing. We offer two types of AFD products - Active and Passive. An active tool automatically adjusts the supply pressure to maintain a constant force, whereas a passive tool requires the user to adjust the pressure manually or through an electronically controlled regulator. As a result, active tools are great for complex geometries where orientation changes are frequent, and passive tools excel with flat and prismatic parts.

To spin the abrasive media, we offer a series of Pneumatic motors that match the performance of a traditional random orbital sanders. Additionally, we have a line of high performance brushless DC servo motor products. These tools feature robust bearings for highspeed operation, continuous torque across the entire RPM range, and liquid cooling is available for the most demanding applications. For continuous operation, a tool change option can be added to quickly and efficiently change out tool holders automatically with no external interaction.  

PushCorp's Sand X Solution is best paired with the larger CRX-25iA and CRX-30iA. These are the highest payload and rigidity robots of the CRX family, which help to withstand the forces involved with material removal application. However, some less demanding processes are suitable for lower-payload CRX models.
