Polishing acrylic glass with a robot. Automatic pressure adjustment, high-quality finish!
Equipping industrial robots with human-like sensory perception (tactile sense) through high-speed automatic correction of contact force, automating polishing and grinding processes with the best quality! Dramatically improving management challenges and productivity.
FerRobotics Compliant Robot Technology GmbH has developed a UR+ model, ACF-K, using its proprietary ACT technology. It allows for easy setup on the teaching pendant with Universal Robots UR10, UR10e, and UR16e. The end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology automatically compensates for changes in the dimensions, curved shapes, and non-planarity of the workpiece by rapidly adjusting the stroke, ensuring consistent contact with the workpiece at the set force. This technology can increase the speed of the device or robot's trajectory, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle time. Additionally, in robot polishing and grinding, the ACF controls the contact pressure through the stroke adjustments, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving processing speed. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool load changes due to gravity based on the robot's angle, maintaining uniform contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.
