    Case Study | Stial's AI Flexible Grinding Robot Targets Weld Seam Grinding Pain Points in Welded Boxes

    Stial has launched an AI flexible grinding solution for grinding weld seams on welded boxes, achieving uniform removal of weld seams, smooth transitions between welds and base material, and no damage to thin-walled base material. The solution uses the self-developed SeeV vision system to locate weld seams, and NextBrain™ AI Mushroom Cloud computing to calculate grinding allowance and generate grinding paths. After digital twin simulation verification, a six-axis robot works with the PolishX flexible force control system to execute the grinding, with force control accuracy of ±0.5%FS and output force as low as 4N, suitable for energy storage, electrical, new energy battery housings, and other multi-category box scenarios.
