    Tired of sanding?

    For the woodworker who has (almost) everything: Click me

    Have to wonder if they asked the displaced workers about the "improved working conditions though...

    Believe it or not "I've got one on the way". We currently employ 30 people doing sanding all day. it's miserable work that leads to quite a few ergonomic and workman's comp and who knows what respiratory issues. We are evaluating 2 different robotic sanding cells. We already have a robot buffing paint. It works 20 hours a day doing dangerous work and never complains.
    The owner of the company has a strict policy making sure all of the people that automation replaces have jobs at other departments in the company.
