Kane Robotics Launches Smart Cobot Solution for Sanding, Grinding, Finishing in Aerospace Manufacturing

Kane Robotics

Kane Robotics today announced the launch of its first collaborative robot (cobot) solution, the GRIT TM cobot. Developed by aeronautics and composite experts, GRIT dramatically improves productivity, reduces health risks, and solves labor shortages for aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) companies. The first cobot solution innovated for composites sanding, Kane’s GRIT TM cobot works alongside humans to perform labor-intensive sanding, grinding and polishing for materials removal within any size and type of manufacturer. Unlike traditional industrial automation, GRIT solutions are reconfigurable for different tasks. With three sizes, the cobots can accommodate a wide variety of jobs. They are accessible even for smaller manufacturers; a GRIT system requires an average investment of just $100,000, with customers reporting a 100% return on investment after six months. “Aerospace and defense manufacturers require extremely precise sanding, grinding, polishing and finishing work to ensure parts meet regulatory requirements and achieve top performance,” says Kane Robotics COO Alan Hiken, a composites expert with a 30-year career in aerospace engineering. “GRIT cobot solutions provide the highest-quality work and help save teams from injuries and illness by filling repetitive, labor-intensive jobs.” The GRIT helps aerospace manufacturers complete jobs such as: Sanding primer from interior aircraft components Polishing fighter jet canopies after thermoforming to remove orange peel and achieve optical clarity Removing coating and sanding surfaces for paint preparation or repairs on helicopter main rotor blades. GRIT is the second generation of Kane’s collaborative robotic solutions. Manufacturers in aerospace, defense and other industries recognized impressive results from the first generation, including: Exponentially increased productivity. A 12-hour sanding job can turn into 3.5 hours when done by a GRIT cobot. Moreover, cobot sanding is precise and uniform, minimizing the need for further detail work before starting second-phase operations. Reduced health risks. Kane’s GRIT cobot reduces repetitive injuries to wrists, elbows and shoulders and respiratory and ocular illness caused by airborne particles. Companies report significant savings in healthcare costs. Filling job vacancies. U.S. manufacturers have difficulty attracting new workers, especially for taxing work like sanding. GRIT cobots can help fill those roles and lessen the need to replace retiring workers as the manufacturing workforce ages. A GRIT cobot can free veteran workers to do what they do best – operations that require higher-order reasoning and decision-making. GRIT solutions are designed for ease of use and require no specialized expertise to install, operate, or program. The practical system is compact and mobile and plugs into 110V electrical outlets. It can be operated by staff technicians and be up and running in almost any manufacturing facility within hours or days rather than months or years. Because GRIT solutions are quick to set up and operationalize, they realize near-immediate ROI. “With GRIT, manufacturing teams can simultaneously improve their productivity and solve safety and labor shortage challenges,” says Kane CEO John Spruce. See a live demonstration of Kane Robotics’ GRIT cobot at booth #4806 at the MRO Americas Aviation Week exhibition, April 18-20, 2023.

About Kane Robotics Since its founding in 2019, Kane Robotics has collaborated with manufacturers in aerospace, defense and other industries to simplify material removal processes through automation, creating the first collaborative robot (cobot) built specifically for composites sanding. Kane’s reconfigurable and easy-to-operate cobots work alongside humans to perform safe and precise sanding, grinding and finishing. The compact, mobile and affordable cobot solutions are accessible to all sizes and types of manufacturers and offer a pragmatic way to dramatically increase productivity, improve safety and fill job vacancies for dangerous, repetitive and labor-intensive tasks. With extensive experience in aerospace and defense, Kane’s industry experts are considered some of the top minds in the world for automation in sanding and composites.

Canada Celebrates National Medical Laboratory Week

Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have a better understanding of the laboratory’s role in testing, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, visible or not, medical laboratory professionals have always been a part of the health care team. Every day they provide answers for diagnosis and treatment for everything from diabetes, heart attacks, cancer and, of course, COVID-19 and all its variants. From April 9–15, 2023, Canada will celebrate these incredible health professionals during National Medical Laboratory Week (Lab Week). This national celebration is a time to recognize the valuable contributions that medical laboratory technologists (MLTs) and medical laboratory assistants (MLAs) make to patient care every single day. This week is aligned with International Biomedical Laboratory Science Day on April 15, a day of recognition for medical laboratory professionals across the globe. As part of this celebration, the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) is asking Canadians to see the lab, and the professionals who so often work behind the scenes. “Even though so many medical lab professionals work behind closed doors, away from patients, their work is vital to our health and wellbeing,” says CSMLS CEO Christine Nielsen. “Lab Week is the perfect time to stop and recognize their contributions to health care. Every day, lab professionals work diligently to provide accurate and precise results for patients, regardless of where they are. We know a patient is behind every sample.” Light displays by buildings and monuments across the country will shine a spotlight on the profession and bring Canada together for Lab Week. More than 24 sites will be lit up in indigo as a symbol of our collective appreciation for our medical laboratory professionals. A schedule of the light displays can be found at labweek.csmls.org. Photos will be shared via CSMLS social media: @csmls on Facebook and Twitter and @csmls_scslm on Instagram. “Lab Week is just one week to celebrate the amazing health care professionals who work 365 days of the year,” says CSMLS President, Michele Sykes. “They’ve processed millions of COVID-19 tests on top of the other million tests patients need for diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Medical lab professionals deserve massive thanks and respect all year long.” Medical Laboratory Technologists, Diagnostic Cytology Technologists, Clinical Genetics Technologists and Medical Laboratory Assistants are all part of the medical laboratory community across Canada. To learn more about their specialized work and their impact on patient care, visit https://medlabprofessionals.ca/. The Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science is the national certifying body for medical laboratory technologists and medical laboratory assistants, and the national professional society for Canada's medical laboratory professionals. Incorporated in 1937 as the Canadian Society of Laboratory Technologists, the society has over 14,000 members in Canada and in countries around the world.
