A success story in automotive body repair polishing with European automobile manufacturers! By utilizing FerRobotics' ACT for robotic automation of post-paint repair polishing, which requires master-class polishing techniques, we achieve labor reduction in expert polishing tasks.

FerRobotics creates a new standard for automated polishing! Successfully robotized the repair polishing after automotive body painting with high-speed pressure correction control.

Complete control of pressing force with high-speed automatic correction using our technology ACT at the end effector. In the video, world-class companies (users) share their success stories. Repair polishing, which is necessary to remove dust and tiny scratches mixed in after painting automotive bodies and resin parts without damaging the underlying surface, is a task that truly requires skilled craftsmanship. By utilizing FerRobotics' ACT to automate this expert-level polishing, we achieve a reduction in the workforce needed for expert polishing tasks. Additionally, by rapidly correcting and precisely maintaining the pressing force, we dramatically improve the consumption of consumables, significantly contributing to cost reduction. ■ Benefits: - Dramatic improvement in cycle time due to high-speed autonomous correction control of pressing force. - Automation of manual tasks that require high skill, achieving reduction in labor costs. - Maintaining a high level of quality, enabling polishing 24/7, 365 days a year. - Significant cost reduction by controlling the consumption of consumables through high-speed autonomous correction of pressing force. - Allowing robots to handle 3K tasks. - Avoiding the risk of vibration issues through automation. - High ROI (return on investment), allowing for early recovery of capital investment.

Repair and polishing of automotive bodies and resin parts requiring highly skilled techniques. Sensitive contact with the workpiece using high-speed autonomous correction control of contact force. Automation of craftsmanship.

FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) that occurs during polishing and grinding processes, which require skilled techniques, at high speed. This technology allows for consistent polishing/grinding at the set contact force, unaffected by variations in processing speed or gravitational load differences due to angles. With the end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology, it quickly and automatically compensates for changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-planar surfaces through instantaneous stroke adjustments, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force. The double-header design enables sanding and polishing with a single unit, significantly improving cycle times. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ACF controls the contact pressure through the extension and contraction of its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robotic arm for corrections, which further assists in improving processing speed. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool load changes due to gravity, which varies with the robot's angle, ensuring consistent contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

Automation of repair polishing for painting finishes that require highly skilled techniques. Significant reduction in cycle time using a double header with a high-speed autonomous contact force correction control system.

FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) generated during polishing and grinding processes, which require skilled techniques, at high speed. This technology allows for consistent polishing/grinding at the set contact force, unaffected by variations in processing speed or gravitational load differences due to angles. Using the patented ACT in the end effector (ACF), it instantly and automatically compensates for changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces by rapidly adjusting the stroke, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force. With a double header, it enables two processes—sanding and polishing—on a single machine, significantly improving cycle times. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ACF controls the contact pressure through the expansion and contraction of its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, thus assisting in improving processing speed. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool load changes due to gravity, which varies with the robot's angle, ensuring uniform contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

We have newly added a **"Frequently Asked Questions Q&A"** section to the Hyper CLT sheet website. It clearly summarizes many questions frequently asked by those considering the introduction of the product, such as "What types of civil engineering sites can it be used on?", "Can it be used on rainy days?", "Is it compatible with large machinery?", and "What is NETIS?". The Hyper CLT sheet is a lightweight wooden sheet utilizing wood CLT, suitable for a wide range of applications including temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards. It is also registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"**. Since it is a new material, we will not leave any uncertainties unaddressed. We aim to create a website that makes it easy to resolve questions before introduction, including information on wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, and we will continue to enhance the Q&A section.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.
