A game changer in grinding and polishing automation! The new standard in robotic polishing! In grinding and polishing processes that require skilled techniques, the difference in contact pressure (force) generated during processing is automatically corrected at high speed and controlled to maintain a constant contact force. Active Contact Flange (ACF).

The craftsmanship that has been given up until now (polishing, grinding) is being automated through uniform control using a high-speed autonomous control system for contact force. Gravity load is also autonomously controlled!

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 enables 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 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. 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 expansion and contraction of its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving the processing speed of robotic polishing. Furthermore, it automatically corrects tool loads affected by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, ensuring consistent contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing irregularities.

The end effector inherits the artisan's skill. It automatically adjusts the pressure (applied force) in an instant based on the angle and workpiece deflection, achieving uniform pressure through automation.

FerRobotics Compliant Robot Technology GmbH has developed the ACF-K series, which focuses on collaborative robots using its unique ACT technology. It allows for easy exchange of hand tools such as orbital sanders, angle grinders, die grinders, and belt grinders. The series accommodates various applications through tool replacement, enabling the automation of grinding and polishing processes without compromise. Seeing is believing! Please check our website or YouTube (FerRobotics) for example videos of applications. The ACT technology automates the grinding and polishing processes, which have been considered difficult to automate, by automatically correcting the load based on the dimensions and angles of the workpiece, completely controlling the pressing force for full automation. It is applicable to surface processing tasks such as buff polishing, sanding, weld bead removal, deburring, scale removal, and paint stripping. This significantly improves production speed while maintaining high-quality standards. Benefits (Value Creation): - Tasks that can be performed by robots are assigned to robots, allowing human employees to be reassigned to creative work that only humans can do. - High-quality work with high reproducibility can be performed 24/7, 365 days a year.

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 to the base material. Repairs can be carried out even 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.

SPACECOOL Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at the "Japan Pavilion" established by the Ministry of the Environment at the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30), which will be held in Belém, Brazil, from November 10, 2025. "SPACECOOL" is a radiative cooling material that enables zero-energy cooling by dissipating heat into space. At our exhibition booth, we will showcase examples of its use not only in reducing air conditioning energy in buildings but also in heat mitigation measures (adaptation strategies) for tents and parasols. The Japan Pavilion aims to promote excellent technologies, products, and services that support global decarbonization and adaptation to climate change, and to achieve Japan's long-term climate change goal of "net zero by 2050." We believe that our participation plays an important role in this endeavor. Through this exhibition, we aim to accelerate our initiatives with local partners in regions severely affected by heat issues, such as the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Southeast Asia, contributing to global decarbonization and climate change measures.
