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

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.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

In battery manufacturing lines, if components containing copper are used, there is a possibility that metal powder may mix in, dissolve, ionize, and pass through the separator, causing a malfunction that connects the positive and negative electrodes. Such minute metal powders may not be detected during pre-shipment inspections, and even if they are found, they can lead to various issues, such as the need to increase inspection processes to detect them. Therefore, Fukuda has developed a copper-free (all stainless steel) air leak tester that can be safely used in the production lines of battery manufacturers and secondary battery manufacturing equipment manufacturers. For product specifications and details, please refer to the "Related Product Information" and "Related Catalogs" below.

This is an air leak tester for battery cases of electric vehicles (EVs). The battery case has the characteristic of being "large with a significant internal volume, and its structure may deform due to internal pressure." As a result, air leak testing generates "noise caused by its large size and capacity" and "noise caused by expansion or deformation due to internal pressurization." To mitigate this noise, this device features a newly developed smoothing function and a linear fitting correction function used in combination during measurement. Additionally, to achieve low-pressure control that is difficult to manage and to expand flow for large volumes, we provide a bypass box (CBU-600) equipped with an electro-pneumatic regulator for precise pressure control and a pressurization valve with a large effective diameter to supply high flow rates. Measurement methods: Work-Work comparison, Work-Master comparison, Fixed Master comparison Measurement pressure range: 10 kPa, 20 kPa, 50 kPa (depending on specifications) Gauge pressure sensor accuracy: ±2% F.S. Differential pressure sensor accuracy: ±0.5% F.S. Group settings: 0 to 31 groups Power supply voltage / Power consumption: AC100 to 240 V / 100 VA
