Experience makes the difference
The art of sanding & advanced robotics
Experienced operators know that sanding and polishing is a craft that requires years of practice. At Cibo Robotics, we are experts in translating this manual process into a robotic or cobot application, combining hardware and software with a thorough knowledge of sanding materials. You are in good hands with 75 years of experience in sanding materials and applications.
Our strengths at a glance
Making a difference every day
Cibo Robotics, that is knowledge of abrasives combined with state-of-the-art equipment. By combining the two, one plus one is more than two and you reap the benefits every day.
Increased efficiency and productivity
Robots can work continuously without fatigue, leading to higher productivity and improved turnaround time.
Safe working conditions
Automation eliminates workers’ exposure to hazardous conditions, such as dust, vibration and noise.
Cost-saving
Perfect control of all parameters such as feed rate, pressure and speed means the abrasives lasts at least 30% longer.
Consistency and high quality
Robots perform tasks with high precision and repeatability, resulting in a uniform finish and fewer errors or rejects.
Easy and fast programming
Our sanding robots can be easily programmed for different products, allowing companies to respond quickly to changing market demand.
Future proof
From the very start, we consider the lifetime of your investment. This starts from the choice of robot or cobot type to choice of accessories. Everything is geared towards maximum lifespan and expandability at your pace and needs.
CASE
VZW DE BRUG
For non-profit organisation ‘De Brug’, a healthy and efficient working environment is incredibly important. With our sanding robot, they not only invested in the health of their employees, with our innovative solution they also work a lot more efficiently.
The power of collaboration
2 experienced partners,
a top result
When two specialists join forces, a ground-breaking solution is created. CNC Solutions has developed a state-of-the-art platform for sanding, grinding and polishing, which has been optimised in close cooperation with us, Cibo Robotics. Combine CNC Solutions’ highly flexible and reliable technology with our in-depth knowledge of sanding processes, and you have an automation solution that is guaranteed to succeed. Two strong partners, one solid and future-proof solution.

Step 1
Introductory interview
This is how we approach it
During the introduction, we will give you a clear picture of what we and our robots can handle. After this talk, you will know whether an automatic sanding process is for you or not.
Step 2
Budget estimation
Before you decide, we create a budget estimate based on the introductory interview. This estimate includes a graphic representation of the cell, its components and specific options.
Step 3
Proof of concept
Optionally, you can choose to have a POC performed. In a POC, we will perform complete programming and sanding tests on a workpiece of your choice. The end result is a fully finished product, including tack times and required sanding materials (even custom-made ones).
Step 4
Detailed quotation
After step 2 (or 3), we work out a detailed quotation with a final project price. This price is all-inclusive. No extras or unforeseen bills.
Stap 5
Sanding process documentation
Once the order is placed, we schedule an on-site meeting to map out your sanding process in detail. Should you have ordered the POC, this step has already been done.
Step 6
Construction of sanding cell
We order the robot/cobot, fabricate the necessary parts, and build the cell. We will update you at regular intervals.
The cell is ready and tested through. You can come to us for the delivery. We go through your sanding cell with you and demonstrate its operation. If the evaluation is positive, we are ready for installation.
Step 7
Acceptance at our premises (SAT)
Step 8
Acceptance at your premises (FAT)
The time has come! Our experienced technicians install the sanding cell at your premises and your operators receive training from the Cibo Robotics engineer who programmed the robot. It is also these robot engineers who will assist you afterwards with questions about the cell and programming.
