JJ Smith to Showcase Cutting-Edge Robotics at Furniture Component Expo 2025

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 our automation experts and discover how robotics can transform your woodworking processes with exciting demonstrations on stand 14 at the Furniture Component Expo on 19 – 20 March 2025.
