LISEGA Relies on a Teqram Robot for Deburring That Keeps Learning
As a specialist in industrial pipe support systems, LISEGA offers a modular product range with tens of thousands of standardized items. At LISEGA, post-processing of sheet-metal blanks involved several manual steps that required significant time and skilled labor. Growing product variation made it increasingly difficult to maintain consistent quality. “We were very pleased to find a market-ready, standardized automation solution for this,” says Michael Witten, Deputy Head of Production Technologies. The key advantage was the ability to automate the entire workflow in one seamless sequence. “Integrating the entire deburring process into one operation and letting the EasyGrinder take over was the winning formula,” Witten said.
Robotics Without Programming
It quickly became clear that a conventional robot system requiring complex individual programming would not be economical for LISEGA. Teqram’s EasyGrinder automated deburring solution addresses this challenge using AI-driven vision technology. The robot identifies each workpiece, analyses its geometry, and independently selects the appropriate tools and grippers. The operator only needs to define the desired quality outcome. Witten emphasized, “The Teqram EasyGrinder can handle all steps, from slag removal and edge chamfering to removing lead-in burrs and grinding to a radius of R2.”
Consistent Quality and Real Relief for Employees
The EasyGrinder replaces multiple manual steps with an automated process that is fast, safe, and highly reproducible. Throughput times are significantly reduced while quality remains consistently high, regardless of component complexity. At the same time, employees are relieved from heavy, repetitive grinding work and can focus on higher-value tasks.
A System That Improves Over Time
LISEGA particularly values the continuous development of the EasyGrinder software. New functions such as chamfering and marking are added through updates. Witten explained, “It’s rare to buy a system that becomes more efficient over time.”
More Speed, More Quality, More Future-proof
The EasyGrinder automated deburring system demonstrates how modern robotics delivers measurable value through faster processes, repeatable quality, and reduced physical strain. For LISEGA, automated deburring has become not only more efficient but also strategically future-oriented, proving that robot-assisted processes can now be used productively without any programming effort.
