Revolutionizing the Art of Grafting with Precision and Efficiency

Key Features

  • Precision Grafting:

    • Grafting cycle time: 15-17 seconds per graft, depending on material quality and product thickness.

    • Suitable for bare-root, P9 pots, and stem grafting.

    • Flexible scion and rootstock diameter combinations:

      • Rootstock: 5–25 mm

      • Scion: 4–20 mm

    • Handles scions as small as 4 mm grafted onto rootstocks as large as 20 mm, ensuring exceptional versatility.

    • Maximum product length: 120 cm.

  • Advanced Automation:

    • 3D Scanning: Analyzes rootstock and scion dimensions for precise cambium matching.

    • Optimal Cutting Calculations: Automatically calculates cutting length for stable and secure grafts.

    • Variable Pressure Application: Adjusts insertion pressure based on scion and rootstock thickness.

    • Auto Recovery & Collision Detection: Reduces downtime by handling potential issues seamlessly.

    • Non-Viable Product Handling: Automatically separates non-graftable materials.

  • Built for Reliability:

    • Durable, high-quality components ensure long-lasting performance.

    • Remote Support: Real-time troubleshooting through remote login capabilities.

    • Minimized Downtime: Engineered for maximum reliability and operational efficiency.

How It Works: Step-by-Step Process

  1. Preparation: Rootstocks and scions are pre-cut to size and delivered to the machine.

  2. Operator Input: A single operator feeds the rootstock and scion into the machine.

  3. 3D Scanning: The robot scans dimensions, curvature, and deviations of the materials.

  4. Cutting and Matching: Based on the scan, the robot calculates the optimal cut for precise cambium alignment.

  5. Grafting: The rootstock is banded, and the scion is inserted with the correct pressure for maximum stability.

  6. Output: The completed graft is placed in a holder for collection, ready for aftercare.
