The fire polishing robot was created for glassworks producing high-quality articles in glass or crystal on which surface polishing is carried out.

This fire-polishing robot is made up of an anthromorphic, 6-axes Comau Smart S2 robot, and equipped with a burner and a gas combustion system.
This fire-polishing robot is an extremely versatile machine, as it enables the processing of even the smallest production batches, thus eliminating the high costs associated with normal acid bath polishing.

A rotating table with two positions (more positions can be supplied on request) is equipped with two spindles with interpolated movement according to that of the robot. The combination of the movement of the robot and the rotation of the spindle ensures the complete coverage of the surface of the article to be polished.

Other than being an environmentally-friendly system, due to the complete elimination of the waste water discharge, this system is also price convenient. After a first analysis, it has been possible to evaluate that ‘hot’ polishing is about 10 times less expensive compared to acid bath polishing.
