ROBOTOR: the robot-sculptor that carves Carrara marble
Watch the video
In the depths of the quarries of Carrara, we met Filippo Tincolini and Giacomo Massari, the two co-founders of TorArt and Robotor, who have breathed life into a new era for sculpture, transforming their creative ideas into design objects and large-scale works with the help of our technologies.
ROBOTOR’s mission is to deliver an automated technological solution to people which serves to simplify the production process by delegating stone machining operations to the robot. We are witnessing the start of a new era - not just of chisels and dust, but also of scanning and point clouds - where ROBOTOR technology adds value to the process, preventing the artist from having to carry out the most arduous, risky and dangerous work.
The robot equipped with the HSD ES748 electrospindle is certainly the most high performing system made by ROBOTOR which combines strength and precision. It is designed to support heavy weights - the work table can sustain up to 35 tonnes - and can be used to work on sculptures that are up to 3.5 metres high.
“For this project, we are working with two strategic partners, Kuka and HSD - we consider them to be leaders in their sector, Kuka in anthropomorphic robots and HSD in electrospindles. Bringing these two families together gives us peace of mind with regard to the product, the support and the service, as well as in terms of the development of the new robots we plan to bring to market”.
