An end effector that enables robot polishing of stainless steel food machinery. It automates the artisan techniques (polishing, grinding), heavy labor, and hazardous tasks by uniformly controlling the contact force on the workpiece with a high-speed autonomous 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 a 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-planar surfaces by rapidly adjusting the stroke, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force.
This technology can increase the speed at which devices and robots move along their trajectories, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle times. In robotic polishing, the ACF's stroke adjustments control the contact pressure, eliminating the need to move the heavy robotic arm for corrections, which further assists in improving processing speed. Additionally, it automatically compensates for 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.
