Since its creation in 1994, AV&R has specialized in robotic surface finishing. With hundreds of robotic systems installed around the world, the company has built its reputation in the aerospace and energy industries. Now, AV&R is extending its expertise to the orthopedic industry and has developed robotic systems that perform various surface finishing processes on implants such as knees and hips.
 
Aiming to meet the needs and expectations of manufacturers of orthopaedic implants, AV&R offers a range of modular robotic systems capable of performing several processes such as polishing or ultra-polishing.
 
AV&R robotic systems are also capable of visually inspecting orthopedic implants. Through years of research and development, AV&R has developed a visual inspection technology that detects 2D defects on the glossy surface of prostheses. By detecting and qualifying surface defects to a level unmatched by the human eye, AV&R’s robotic systems provide a guarantee of optimal quality for implant manufacturers.
 
AV&R’s BrainWave interface specializes in surface finishing and allows you to control the processes performed on complex surfaces. By facilitating the adjustment of system parameters and the development of new process recipes, BrainWave is the link between the robot and the operator. ASIS is the software specialized in visual inspection. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, it allows operators to monitor the detection of surface defects. BrainWave and ASIS have been designed as easily controllable tools by employees of orthopedic implant manufacturers and thus contribute to AV&R’S mission of humanizing robotics.
