JJ Smith continues to lead the way in transforming the woodworking industry with the latest advancements in its Woodworking Robotics range. Partnering with top global robotics and automation manufacturers, JJ Smith offers innovative automation solutions designed to simplify production processes, enhance workplace safety, and maximise efficiency in furniture manufacturing.
Contrary to fears about robotics replacing human workers, Woodworking Robotics is designed to empower them. By taking over the "3 Ds" of manufacturing – Dirty, Dangerous,and Dull tasks — collaborative robots allow operators to focus on higher-value activities, increasing productivity while reducing risks.
At the Furniture Component Expo, held at Telford International Centre on 19 - 20 March (stand 14), JJ Smith will unveil game-changing robotics innovations for furniture production. They’ll also collaborate with BeA Group (stand 13), showcasing how advanced robotics paired with cutting-edge tooling can revolutionise workflows.
Available solutions for discussion/demonstration:
Robotic Assembly Systems
Automating fastening, stapling, and screwing of furniture components, these systems reduce repetitive strain injuries and enhance operational efficiency—ideal for furniture, sofa, and bed frame production.
Robot Conveyor Loading / Unloading
Discover how you can streamline furniture production operations by automating loading and unloading tasks on conveyor systems. Mounted on mobile bases, these robots can be redeployed easily to adapt to shifting production needs.
Robotic Sanding
Integrated with traditional sanding machines, this solution eliminates manual sanding of furniture components and panels, freeing workers for more strategic tasks while reducing repetitive strain risks.
Robotic Bandsaw
Designed for safety and precision, this automated solution processes small wooden parts using customisable hoppers, significantly boosting productivity with minimal human oversight.
Robotic Machine Tending
Collaborative robots can tend to any woodworking machine, helping to optimise production in any area. Bespoke assessments will be available at the expo to tailor solutions to individual furniture production needs.
Robotic T-Nut Insertion
Engineered for precision, this system consistently inserts T-nuts into timber components for up to an hour without reloading, regardless of project complexity.
Explore the Future of Furniture Production
Speak to JJ Smith's automation experts and discover how robotics can transform your woodworking processes with exciting demonstrations on stand 14 at the Furniture Component Expo on 19 – 20th March 2025.
