Industrial automation is a key element of the modern economy, and its growing importance is evident in nearly every sector. At ANIRO, a company with over 40 years of experience in industrial automation projects, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies in the harmonious and safe collaboration between humans and machines. Our latest project, presented at the 40th edition of the DREMA trade fair in Poznań, aligns with this trend—an advanced Elfin cobot developed in collaboration with the Polish company POLISHSTYL, which specializes in sanding brush technology.

Elfin and Elfin-PRO – Next-Generation Robots
Elfin and Elfin-PRO cobots are next-generation robotic devices that, thanks to their design and advanced technology, enable safe collaboration with humans, working side by side. They are distinguished by a unique motion module with a dual joint, which provides exceptional flexibility and allows for more complex movements, including reaching hard-to-access areas. The Elfin-PRO model, in addition to the features of its predecessor, uses artificial intelligence technology for the integration of cutting tools, end-force control, and end vision, making it the ideal choice for advanced manufacturing processes.
As Sebastian Pokorski, an ANIRO specialist, explains, “Elfin are cobots that enable close collaboration with humans while maintaining the highest safety standards. In the event of contact with a human, they automatically shut down, which is a completely different level of safety compared to larger industrial robots.”
A New Quality in Woodworking with an Innovative Sanding Head
The innovation of this project lies not only in the advanced features of the Elfin cobots but also in the specially designed POLISHSTYL sanding head. Made with interchangeable brush technology, the head enables precise sanding and brushing of wood and wood-based materials – even for elements with irregular shapes, such as profiled and fluted fronts. This is especially important in the wood industry, where the quality and precision of material processing are the foundation of production.
With six-axis operation, Elfin and Elfin-PRO are able to precisely reach every corner of a surface, significantly expanding their range of applications. As Mirosław Kozyra, Technical Director of POLISHSTYL, explains, “The PolishStyl head is just a fraction of what our cobot can achieve. As a Polish manufacturer of sanding technology, we are able to create a tool tailored to even the most unconventional applications, which works perfectly with the Elfin cobot.”
The Development of Robotics in the Wood Industry
In the wood industry, where traditional approaches to material processing are still deeply rooted, Elfin cobots represent a true revolution. Their advantages, such as repeatability and precision, translate into higher production quality and increased efficiency in factories. Thanks to the collaboration with POLISHSTYL, Elfin cobots perfectly meet the needs of the wood industry, enabling the execution of even the most demanding tasks that were previously the domain of highly skilled workers.
The wood industry, which has already successfully used advanced machines, is now entering the next stage through automation. Elfin and Elfin-PRO cobots, thanks to their design and the use of appropriate tools, allow for achieving even higher quality standards, and their versatility makes them suitable for use in virtually any production environment.
