PushCorp is the leading manufacturer of robotic material removal end-of-arm tooling.
Let’s connect at FABTECH Canada in Toronto from June 9-11th!
PushCorp will be at the ABB Robotics Canada (12018) & Canada Welding Supply (10029) partner booth, demoing robotic material removal solutions for real manufacturing applications.
Our PushCorp XSeries robotic tooling solutions will be showcased! 🦾
This solution is designed to help manufacturers automate grinding, sanding, finishing, and weld prep processes.
If manual material removal is creating bottlenecks in your operation, this is a great opportunity to talk through the details:
➡️ Grinding challenges
➡️ Part variation
➡️ Weld prep requirements
➡️ Surface finish consistency
➡️ Labor constraints
➡️ Robotic tooling options for your application
We would also be happy to discuss whether a demo can be done using your specific production parts.
Meet the PushCorp team at FABTECH Canada and let’s explore what automated material removal could look like for your process.

Grinding automation can look simple enough at first glance. A robot applies an abrasive to the surface according to a programmed path.
But once a real application moves into production, a few familiar issues usually decide whether the process actually performs well:
➡️ Part variation
➡️ Abrasive wear over time
➡️ Surface finish consistency
➡️ Spindle and abrasive selection
➡️ Programming and integration effort
➡️ Safety and cell design requirements
That is why successful grinding automation depends on more than robot motion alone.
The process has to be built around stable fixturing, proper force control, and tooling that can hold up in day-to-day production.
These are the areas where many projects run into trouble.
Especially when the application looks simple at first but becomes far more demanding once repeatability, finish quality, and uptime all have to come together.
For manufacturers evaluating robotic grinding, these challenges are worth understanding early.
PushCorp breaks down the five biggest grinding automation challenges and practical ways to approach them in our blog:

We’ll be ready to talk force compliance, end-of-arm tooling, and robotic grinding at Automate 2026. Visit Booth #2814.
Choosing the right spindle for robotic material removal starts with two things:
➡️ Required RPM
➡️ Expected motor load from the abrasive or cutter
Both matter.
Because the right spindle is about matching spindle capability to the actual demands of the application. It’s not enough to look at speed.
In this demo, PushCorp shows how that changes across different tools:
➡️ A 5-inch random orbital sanding tool runs at high RPM with low compliance pressure and creates very low motor load
➡️ A 4.5-inch fiber disc requires slower RPM and higher compliance force, increasing motor load but staying well within spindle capability
➡️ A 7-inch fiber disc with more compliance force pushes that same spindle to its limit
That is why spindle selection should always be tied to the process, not just the tool diameter alone.
RPM, abrasive type, disc size, and applied force all affect whether a spindle is the right fit or whether the application calls for more capability.

Manual grinding creates a cycle that costs more than most shops realize.
You bring in skilled welders, fabricators, and machinists.
They need time to learn your equipment, standards, and workflow.
Then, too much of their day gets pulled into repetitive grinding work.
❌ Productivity drops.
❌ Frustration builds.
❌ People leave.
And the cycle starts again:
➡️ Recruiting
➡️ Training
➡️ Reduced productivity
➡️ Turnover
You invest in skilled labor, only to have too much of their time pulled into grinding until frustration and burnout pushes them out. This is one of the major hidden costs of manual grinding.
For manufacturers dealing with labor pressure and grinding bottlenecks, this problem tends to run deeper than it first appears.
That is one of the reasons why PushCorp put together a free ebook on the 20 hidden costs of manual grinding and where they show up across the operation.
