Podcast WeMetall

From Manual Deburring to Automated Handling

How do you ensure your finishing process keeps pace with production without constantly needing more operators? And how can you automate the loading and unloading of sheet metal parts while maintaining production flexibility?

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

Over the years, finishing has become an essential part of WeMetall’s production process. With finishing machines running two shifts a day, the need for automation continued to grow. Fewer manual operations, reduced workload for operators, and a consistent production flow.

In the podcast, Johan and Bart explain how the collaboration between WeMetall and Q-Fin has led to the development of an automated handling solution. They discuss the role of the Qube 15, intelligent part 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 in automated finishing together.
