RoboFix – Robotic fettling machine

RoboFix - Advanced Robotic Fettling machine

Description

RoboFix is an advanced robotic fettling machine designed to automate the finishing of cast metal components. Developed by Sree Sakthi Group of Companies, RoboFix addresses the key operational challenges in foundries, including inconsistent quality, labor-intensive processes, and unsafe working environments. With its precision-engineered robotic arm, automated tool handling, and integrated safety features, RoboFix enhances process reliability, repeatability, and operational efficiency across industries such as automotive, heavy engineering, and general metal casting.

Technical Features

RoboFix utilizes a high-accuracy multi-axis robotic arm capable of adapting to a variety of casting geometries. The system ensures uniform material removal across all components, significantly reducing variability and rework in finishing operations. The machine is equipped with a programmable tool-changing mechanism that supports multiple operations such as grinding, sanding, and deburring. Tool transitions are managed without manual intervention, allowing uninterrupted workflow and optimized cycle times.

RoboFix integrates a high-efficiency dust extraction system and acoustic insulation panels. This feature minimizes airborne particulate matter and operational noise, contributing to compliance with industrial safety standards and enhancing the shop-floor environment. An intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) allows operators to configure and monitor the machine with minimal training. Program parameters can be adjusted in real time, supporting rapid job changeovers and increased responsiveness in production. The system is built on a reinforced welded frame with abrasion-resistant linings and high-durability components. This design ensures continuous operation under demanding foundry conditions while minimizing unplanned maintenance and downtime.

RoboFix includes a suite of integrated safety components, such as proximity sensors, interlocking doors, and emergency stop systems. These features protect personnel from exposure to moving parts and hazardous operations.

Performance Advantages

RoboFix enhances throughput by automating the traditionally manual fettling process, enabling continuous, high-volume production with consistent output quality. Its integrated robotic arm and automatic tool changer reduce idle time and eliminate bottlenecks, allowing foundries to meet demanding production schedules with greater efficiency.

By delivering uniform surface finishes through tightly controlled robotic operations, RoboFix minimizes defects, rework, and downstream inspection effort. The result is improved product quality and reduced waste. Additionally, the system lowers operational costs by decreasing labor dependency, reducing material scrap, and minimizing downtime through its durable construction and low-maintenance design.

RoboFix also contributes to a safer and more compliant work environment. The inclusion of dust extraction, noise control, and safety interlocks reduces operator exposure to harmful conditions and supports adherence to workplace safety regulations. Its modular and programmable design allows easy adaptation to varying casting sizes and foundry layouts, making RoboFix a scalable solution for both existing and new manufacturing lines.
