【FerRobotics】Exhibiting at the 2023 International Robot Exhibition! Displaying multiple types of robotic systems for polishing automation solutions! Achieving the automation of skilled tasks in polishing and grinding, which were previously considered impossible, while shortening cycle times and ensuring high-quality finishes.

Dramatic improvement in cycle time. Solutions to the hiring issues of skilled workers and 3K workers. Reduction in costs of consumables and abrasives. Automation of polishing with high-speed autonomous correction control of contact force!

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. With the end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology, it instantly adjusts to changes in the dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces of the workpiece through rapid automatic correction of stroke extension and contraction, maintaining 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 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 robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving processing speed. Moreover, it automatically corrects tool load variations caused by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, ensuring a consistent contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

Weld bead removal and complete automation from rough cutting to finishing polishing can be achieved with a single machine. With the integration of a tool exchange system and high-speed autonomous pressure correction technology, full automation is possible!

Equipped with an auto tool changer function, the pressing force high-speed autonomous correction technology achieves a reduction in cycle time for skilled labor and complete automation of high-quality finishing. Using ACT technology, the end effector autonomously corrects the force applied to the workpiece in response to variations in dimensions and warping by instantaneously adjusting the stroke extension and contraction, maintaining contact with the set force. Additionally, gravity compensation is autonomously performed, ensuring a consistent pressing force from any angle, and allowing for easy settings to maintain finishing quality on R-shaped workpieces. This technology enables the robot to maintain a constant contact force even when increasing the trajectory speed, improving cycle time and achieving high-quality finishing with high repeatability. Furthermore, automation allows for increased pressing force and reduces the frequency of changing abrasive grits by maintaining a consistent force, significantly contributing to the extension of abrasive lifespan and reduction of running costs. The tools include holders compatible with almost all types of grinding, from grinders to double-action sanders and brushing. The motor speed can be controlled in 10 rpm increments, broadening the scope of automation in grinding operations. Additionally, it is compatible with an auto paper changer.

Automation of labor-intensive R-shaped and complex-shaped masking tasks without wrinkles or bubbles. Enabling automation of processes that were previously impossible to automate with high-speed operations.

This product enables the automation of masking and taping tasks that were previously impossible. FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology (ACT) automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) at high speed, allowing it to maintain constant contact with the target object at the set pressing force, regardless of variations in processing speed or gravitational load differences due to angles. With the end effector (ATK) utilizing this technology, taping and masking tasks can be finished with the highest quality, free of wrinkles and bubbles. It also allows for increased robot speed, enhancing work speed and improving cycle time. The tool load caused by gravity, which changes with the robot's angle, is automatically corrected, ensuring a consistent pressing pressure from any angle, enabling high-quality taping with high repeatability even on R-shaped and complex geometries.

Certificate of performance improvement in the automotive industry. Fully automated polishing system for spot weld spatter removal on white bodies. Autonomous correction control of contact force.

ASK Brushing Kit. The main use is for removing welding spatter, brush polishing, and cleaning in the automotive industry. ASK301, 401 Ideal finish for body-in-white and sheet metal. Seeing is believing! Please check our website or YouTube (FerRobotics) for application example videos. Spot and laser welding leave spatter and soot on the workpiece, but with the brushing operation controlled by ASK's contact force, brushing can be done while maintaining the electrodeposition coating. The quality of brushing before painting is a necessary condition for optimizing the painting process of the final product, so complete automation with ASK allows for the best finish without the need for post-processing. ■ Benefits: - High-speed autonomous correction control of pressing force increases the robot's trajectory speed, resulting in dramatic improvements in productivity and cycle time for polishing and brushing. - High-level finish quality can be achieved repeatedly 24/7. - Reduced consumption of consumables leads to cost savings. - Avoids the risk of vibration-related issues through automation. - High ROI (Return on Investment) allows for early recovery of capital investment.

[Instructor] Hiroto Hayashi, Attorney at Law, New York State, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Recently, batteries are expected to serve as a balancing power source for the realization of renewable energy as a primary power source. Due to changes in the business environment brought about by market development and government support measures, opportunities in the battery business are expanding. For grid-connected batteries, there are multiple options for long-term decarbonization power source auctions, tolling models, and merchant models, and the points of project development vary depending on the offtake method. Additionally, with the spread of the FIP system, the installation of batteries alongside renewable energy generation facilities is also progressing. In this lecture, we will explain the systems related to batteries, as well as key points for contract creation and negotiation, and financing necessary to steadily advance projects. We will also outline the challenges and prospects for project development and project finance formation according to each offtake scheme.

[Lecturer] Hideo Yamada, Ph.D. Honorary Professor, Waseda University Visiting Professor, Business Breakthrough University Graduate School [Key Lecture Content] Companies face various trade-offs (dilemmas) such as quality vs. cost, inventory levels vs. service levels, and standardization vs. differentiation. Traditionally, companies have responded to trade-offs by (1) finding a balance or (2) prioritizing one over the other. However, this does not lead to fundamental solutions. In this lecture, I will propose a third method that is neither balancing nor prioritizing. Using case studies from over 50 Japanese companies, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. If we can turn long-standing trade-offs into trade-ons (coexistence), business opportunities will arise. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a trade-off? 2. Trade-offs between customers and companies 3. Trade-offs within companies 4. Trade-offs within customers 5. How to turn trade-offs into trade-ons 6. Steps for exploration 7. Q&A / Business card exchange
