In 2021, Braun Feinwerktechnik GmbH partnered with ARRTSM to deploy one of the world’s most advanced autonomous CNC robotic cells—custom-engineered to meet Braun’s exacting standards for precision, repeatability, and 24/7 operation.

ARRTSM, known for pioneering autonomous AI-driven robotic manufacturing systems, delivered a fully autonomous, closed-loop robotic cell designed to perform high-precision finishing operations on complex components. This system went far beyond traditional CNC automation:

Key Features of the ARRTSM Robotic Cell at Braun:

• High-Precision Grinding & Polishing
  The cell performs multi-axis, 3D path-controlled grinding and polishing with sub-micron repeatability, designed to meet the demanding surface and dimensional requirements of Braun’s aerospace and medical clients.

• Autonomous 3D Measurement
  A high-resolution 3D touch probe is integrated for in-cycle part measurement, adaptive offsetting, and automatic quality assurance. This ensures that every part is verified in real time—without interrupting the production cycle.

• Intelligent Robotic Path Control
  ARRTSM’s proprietary AI algorithms optimize toolpaths dynamically, based on material behavior, wear characteristics, and part complexity—resulting in faster cycle times and consistent finishes.

• Custom Moveable Table Design
  The robotic cell features a specially developed moveable precision table, engineered to Braun’s specific workflow and footprint constraints. This allows flexible part handling, ergonomic setup, and multi-size part compatibility.

• Fully Enclosed, Self-Calibrating System
  The unit self-calibrates based on environmental conditions, material changes, and part tolerance shifts—ensuring high reliability with minimal human intervention.

• Seamless CNC Integration
  Communicates directly with Braun’s CNC machines for synchronized part transfer, tool status exchange, and coordinated process control.

Tangible Results

• ROI achieved in under 12 months

• 24/7 operation with cell utilization >85%

• Surface finish and tolerance accuracy improved significantly

• Reduced manual rework and increased throughput capacity

This collaboration is a model for how autonomous robotics and traditional German precision can work together to set a new global standard. Braun’s vision for future-ready manufacturing, combined with ARRTSM’s modular, intelligent robotic cells—marks the beginning of a new era in autonomous high-mix, high-precision production.
