Talk To Our ExpertsProduct Overview
The Automatic Grinding Machine for GIS Insulated Components is a high-precision, fully automated robotic grinding and measurement system designed specifically for the electrical power industry. Built for the challenges of handling hardened epoxy resin on metal conductors, this system integrates 2D + 3D vision, force-controlled robotic grinding, and automated dimensional inspection to replace manual work and ensure stable, repeatable quality in Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) component processing.
This advanced automation solution provides manufacturers with faster, safer, and more reliable grinding performance — while supporting digital traceability and seamless MES system integration.
Processing Speed: 5–10 pcs / hour (front & back)
Industry: Electrical Power / High-Voltage GIS Manufacturing
Core Applications

Technical Advantages
1. 2D + 3D Vision-Guided Robotic Grinding
- 2D vision locates the target region precisely.
- 3D vision provides depth, contour, and surface deviation data.
- Enables the robotic arm to grind with sub-millimeter accuracy.
This integrated vision approach solves both positioning and measurement simultaneously.
GIS epoxy resin has high hardness, high smoothness, and strong recoil force, which often:
- damages grinding tools
- destabilizes manual grinding
- causes inconsistent results
Openex addresses these challenges with:
- innovative grinding tool design
- adaptive pressure control algorithms
- AI-based grinding optimization
This significantly extends tool life and ensures consistent grinding quality.
After each grinding operation:
- the 3D vision system automatically measures the processed surface
- compares dimensional tolerances
- verifies completion and quality
No manual verification is needed.
Processing speed:
5–10 pcs / hour (front & back sides)
Suitable for medium-to-high-volume GIS production.
- Supports digital production management
- Real-time data upload
- Quality traceability
- Automatic archival of dimensional results
Fully compatible with modern smart factory systems.
