Innovative Robotic Milling in Woodworking

Project Highlights
Shared by Sérgio Gomes Design, this project exemplifies a collaborative effort between Brazil and Portugal in the woodworking industry. Utilizing ENCY CAD/CAM software, the team executed advanced robotic cutting and milling techniques to achieve remarkable results. As seen in the video, a Comau industrial robot performed precise 3D contour milling on a multi-layer plywood block, demonstrating the effective use of a six-axis robotic system in complex machining applications.

Advanced Manufacturing Techniques
The media highlights the robot’s capability to execute intricate multi-pass machining strategies, crucial for mold-making or composite-trimming operations. In the images, the use of a horizontal multi-spindle screw press and various clamps showcases the preparatory stages of assembling laminated wooden beams before fine milling processes. This project also demonstrates the seamless integration of robotic milling in crafting detailed furniture prototypes, emphasizing quality and operational complexity.
