SAM | XL

We bring innovative organisations together with technology suppliers and TU Delft researchers
SAM XL (Smart Advanced Manufacturing XL) is a manufacturing automation expertise centre that uniquely liaises between TU Delft faculties, the industry and suppliers. We develop software and hardware to enhance the intelligence, connectivity and flexibility of industrial robots. This robot technology for executing complex and varied tasks on large structures is validated and demonstrated in our industrial-scale automation lab. We also provide hands-on training for students and staff from our industry and research partners, to uplift their digital skills in executing automation projects.

For Brightsky RDM project we aim at introducing cutting edge robotic technologies to enable Smart MRO robotic blending

Our work in partnership with KLM, TNO and all the other Brightsky partners will focus on robotic blending and grinding for general metal repair processes. At the center of our work there will be robot motion planning, grinding process control and local, high accuracy visual inspection to guarantee high standards of accuracy and repeatability of the metal surface finish.
