Sharpening hand knives fully automatically?

The E 50 fully automatically sharpens knives of diverse shapes and sizes.

48 hand knives are placed randomly into the knife magazine. They are processed as follows: The 4-axis operated gripping arm extracts a knife out of the magazine – the exact individual knife shape is detected – the knife is sharpened, deburred and polished – the gripping arm returns the knife to the magazine. The output is up to 400 knives per 8-hour shift. The specially for this purpose developed contouring control individually calculates the optimal sharpening cycle for every knife. The original knife shape thus  is retained and knife wear is minimized.
