The grafting robot is a patented, high-precision automated system specifically developed for grafting woody plants. This robotic system handles the entire grafting process, from cutting to joining rootstocks and scions, improving efficiency and quality. It reduces labor requirements by 1-2 operators, depending on the application, while taking over the grafting process so no prior grafting experience is required. The robot works with a wide variety of scion and rootstock combinations to yield high-quality grafts.
Quick grafting in 10-18 seconds
Compatible with sizes up to 25 mm
Precision with 3D scanning
Optimal cutting
HOW IT WORKS
Preparation
Pre-cut roots and scions are placed in the system.
3D Material Scanning
The robot accurately scans the dimensions of the rootstock and scion.
Automatic Cutting
It calculates the optimal cutting length and cuts the rootstock and the scion.
Assembling
The robot aligns and grafts them by applying appropriate pressure.
Output
The completed graft is placed onto a conveyor belt for easy collection and further processing.
Grafting Robot is a Smart Investment
Save Time and Increase Output
Automate grafting to handle more plants in less time with fewer people.
Ensure Consistent Quality
Achieve precise, uniform grafts for better plant health and higher quality.
Reduce Labor Costs
Minimize reliance on skilled labor while maintaining high productivity.
Meet Seasonal Demands
Scale easily to meet both peak and off-season demands without compromising quality.
Revolutionizing the Art of Grafting with Precision and Efficiency
Precision: Accurate cambium alignment through 3D scanning and controlled cutting.
Efficiency: Grafting cycle times of 10-18 seconds significantly increase output with minimal labor.
Flexibility: Handles a wide range of scion and rootstock combinations without exact diameter matching.
Quality: Stable and repeatable grafting quality, independent of operator skill
The Grafting Robot automates the complete grafting process, from scanning and cutting to assembly and output. A single operator feeds the materials, after which the system ensures precise positioning and consistent joining. The system is optimized for woody plant production, where consistency and precision are critical. Features such as variable pressure control and automatic recovery contribute to a stable and continuous workflow. The robot processes scions from 4 mm up to rootstocks of 25 mm, with product lengths up to 120 cm. By automating the most critical steps, dependency on skilled labour is reduced while maintaining consistent grafting quality. Manual grafting typically results in 100–120 grafts per hour. The robot increases this to approximately 240 grafts per hour, depending on the application.
