Attention those who want to automate skilled tasks such as polishing and grinding! The 2022 International Robot Exhibition starts today. FerRobotics sales partner Yanase Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting. Be sure to check out the best solutions for robotic polishing.

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.
