The polishing of the R-shaped surface of the two-wheeled tank has significantly reduced teaching effort through autonomous pressure correction. Robots can be used to apply uniform pressure on tanks and pipes that are difficult to teach. This improves finishing quality and cycle time!

FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure that occurs during polishing and grinding processes, which require skilled techniques, at high speed. It 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, dimensional tolerances and changes on freeform surfaces of the workpiece are automatically corrected at high speed through instantaneous stroke adjustments, maintaining constant contact with the set force on the workpiece.
This technology enables an increase in the trajectory speed of devices and robots, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle times. Additionally, it automatically corrects the gravitational load of the tool that varies with the robot's angle, ensuring a uniform contact pressure from any angle, allowing for a finish without processing inconsistencies.
◆Challenges addressed by automating polishing and grinding using our technology:
- Increased work speed and improved cycle times, leading to reduced labor costs and profit generation.
- Mitigation of the risk associated with the succession of skilled workers.
- Relief for workers from the "three K" jobs (dirty, dangerous, and difficult).
- High reproducibility and consistent work 24/7.
- Reduction of consumable usage and cost savings through processing with constant contact force.
