Grinding Robots
Custom Robotic Grinding Systems for Precision Assembly Processes
At Melton Machine & Control Company, we build robotic grinding systems that support consistent, repeatable finishing in your assembly line. These automated grinding solutions are designed to keep your production flow steady and your parts uniform, no matter the volume or complexity of the task at hand.
With over 55 years of experience in automated system design and integration, Melton delivers grinding robots that work as a natural extension of your assembly process, helping you meet production goals without sacrificing quality or safety.

Grinding Robots That Deliver Assembly Success
Finishing work and metal fabrication, like grinding tasks, play a key role in final assembly. Whether you're preparing edges for joining, removing burrs, or achieving a specific surface finish, the consistency of your grinding operation has a direct impact on the reliability and appearance of your finished product.
The manual grinding process often leads to variability between operators and shifts. Melton’s robotic grinding solutions eliminate these inconsistencies, providing accurate, repeatable results across every part.
The Benefits of Custom Robotic Grinding Systems
Grinding automation is about elevating what your team can accomplish. Our grinding robots support better production outcomes through:
- Repeatable Finishes: Robotic control delivers the same precision grind every time, reducing variation and rework.
- Increased Throughput: Grinding robot systems run continuously, keeping your finishing process on pace with the rest of your assembly line.
- Operator Safety: Robots handle the physically demanding, repetitive tasks, minimizing exposure to grinding debris, heat, and vibration.
- Smarter Labor Allocation: Skilled workers can focus on higher-value tasks like quality inspection or process improvements, rather than repetitive grinding work.
- Consistent Quality Across Shifts: Robotic systems maintain steady performance no matter the shift or staffing level, removing the variables that often slow down manual processes.
Custom-Built for Your Grinding Applications
Melton grinding robots are never one-size-fits-all. Each system is engineered around your product specifications, assembly workflow, and finishing goals. Whether you're smoothing weld seams, robotic deburring machined parts, or prepping surfaces for coating, we’ll develop a solution that fits your exact needs.
Capabilities may include:
- Precision grinding of welds or joints
- Burr removal on metal or composite parts
- Edge preparation for joining or coating
- Surface smoothing for uniform finishes
Our grinding systems can also be integrated with vision tools and real-time process feedback for added control and accuracy.
More Than a Machine: Full Integration and Support
At Melton, we believe that a system should work as part of your team, not as a separate process that complicates your workflow. Our engineers work closely with yours to integrate grinding robots directly into your assembly line, with proper communication between systems and alignment with your production timing.
Once your system is online, our support doesn’t stop there. We offer:
System Integrations
We collaborate with your team to deploy grinding automation where it makes the most impact. From upfront planning to machine programming and installation, Melton makes sure your new system functions smoothly with the rest of your operation.
On-Site Support
When issues arise, waiting isn’t an option. Our field technicians provide hands-on troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance optimization—right at your facility.
