Podcast WeMetall

From Manual Deburring to Automated Handling

How can you ensure that your finishing process keeps pace with your production without having to assign more and more people to the machine? And how can you automate the loading and unloading of sheet metal parts while maintaining production flexibility?

In this podcast episode, Johan Rigters of WeMetall and Bart van Quickelberghe, who is responsible for Handling Solutions at Q-Fin, discuss the next step in production automation.

At WeMetall, finishing has evolved over the years into a key part of the production process. With finishing machines running daily in two shifts, the need for automation grew steadily: fewer manual operations, less strain on operators, and a consistent production flow.

In the podcast, Johan and Bart explain how the collaboration between WeMetall and Q-Fin led to the development of an automated handling solution. They discuss the role of the Qube 15, smart product recognition using Eye-Q vision technology, and the challenges involved in automating a finishing process.

Listen to the podcast and discover how Q-Fin and WeMetall are taking the next step together in automated finishing.
