Next-Generation Sander: Maximizing Blade Manufacturing Productivity, Quality, and Safety

Our globally trusted and renowned Semi-Automatic Sander has now retired, paving the way for the ultra-advanced, robust, and incredibly versatile ENABL Mobile Robot (EMR). This next-generation robot is designed to maximize productivity, enhance finishing quality, and prioritize safety.

EMR is a versatile multifunctional & modular tool engineered to streamline operations across the entire blade value chain, mainly manufacturing and service. This advanced robot supports a wide array of processes, including: 

  • Sanding 
  • Cleaning 
  • Scanning 
  • Milling 
  • Filling 
  • Painting 
  • and more.

More than a Sander for Superior Blade Production. Faster, safer, and with better finishing quality.

Watch the video below and envision this taken to the next level with EMR.

Your Benefits

25% Faster processing

A 115m blade is sanded in 3 hours. Compared to traditional sanders, EMR achieves faster operation due to the option for an 1000mm sanding drum width.

Enhanced safety and user experience

One operator needed & no extra PPE required. With an ATEX-approved mobile extractor that attaches to the robot, it eliminates up to 98% of dust particles during operation while offering a low consumable cost. Additionally, the system is easy and fast to clean.

Increased sanding coverage

The tower yaw system allows for +/-110° rotation during processing, enabling closer access to the blade fixture and increasing sanding coverage to approximately 95% of the blade surface. This reduces lead time and enhances QHSE.

Reduced manpower, increased consistency & quality finishing

Due to high coverage of up to 95% of the blade surface, EMR reduces dramatically the manual work or the need for specialized manpower.

Optimized workflow - flexible even in small factories

Requires only 2300mm between blades, perfect for compact factory setups, while the electrical steering feature with 360° turning capability provides excellent maneuverability, enabling precise navigation in limited spaces.

Get the next generation of blades covered

EMR supports also new blade types with configurable heights reaching up to 10m & horizontal reach up to 4m.

The Blade Cleaner

By adding the Blade Cleaner to EMR, you benefit from efficient sanding and cleaning of blades in a single, fast process. The integrated brush system on the sanding head ensures a clean surface, reducing labor hours and enhancing process efficiency.

The sanding and cleaning processes in our blade production demand many man-hours. That’s why we need to improve and replace manual processes. By having ENABL integrating the Blade Cleaner into their sander, now only one operator can do both processes, hence the business case is good.”
