PushCorp :: Robotic Material Removal & Surface Finishing Tools

PushCorp is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in robotic material removal and surface finishing tools. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and now part of the WALTER Surface Technologies group, PushCorp has over 30 years of experience developing high-performance end-of-arm tooling solutions for industrial robots. The company focuses on making advanced automation accessible to manufacturers of all sizes by providing rugged, reliable tools for grinding, sanding, polishing, deburring, and finishing applications. Their solutions are widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, metal fabrication, construction equipment, and consumer goods manufacturing.

PushCorp’s core technology revolves around robotic force compliance devices and servo spindles that give robots a “human-like touch.” Traditional robotic systems often struggle with variable force application and surface finishing consistency. PushCorp solves this with active force control technology that maintains precise, consistent pressure regardless of part geometry or robot movement.

Key robot-based products include:

• XSeries Tooling Solutions: Pre-configured robotic tooling packages (GrindX™, SandX™, and FinishX™) designed for rapid deployment. These systems automate weld grinding, surface preparation, and final finishing with high repeatability.
• Robotic Force Compliance Devices: End effectors that apply programmable, constant force for sanding, grinding, and polishing. They compensate for surface irregularities and robot path variations, delivering uniform results.
• Robotic Servo Spindle Motors: High-torque, liquid-cooled spindles engineered for continuous heavy-duty operation. They provide precise speed control and maximum power for demanding material removal tasks.
• Floor-Mounted Backstand Equipment: Robotic backstand systems that combine linear compliance with servo technology for belt grinding, brushing, and wheel finishing.

PushCorp emphasizes practical automation. Their tools integrate easily with major robot brands (ABB, FANUC, KUKA, etc.) and require minimal specialized robotics expertise. Customers report major benefits including reduced labor dependency, consistent quality, lower injury risk, and faster production cycles. The company also operates a demonstration lab where manufacturers can test tools on their actual parts before purchasing.
