Pursuing the best in grinding automation! Faro Robotics' end effector! By implementing high-speed automatic correction of contact force, we give industrial robots a human-like sense of touch, automating grinding and polishing processes with optimal quality! Dramatically improving management challenges and productivity!

FerRobotics Compliant Robot Technology GmbH has developed a unique technology called ACT, which is used in the UR+ model ACF-K. It can be easily configured on the teaching pendant of Universal Robots UR10, UR10e, and UR16e.
The end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology automatically compensates for changes in the dimensions, curvature, and non-planarity of the workpiece by rapidly adjusting the stroke, ensuring that contact with the workpiece is maintained at the set force.
This technology increases the speed at which devices and robots can move along their trajectories, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle times. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ability to control the contact pressure through the stroke adjustments of the ACF eliminates the need to move the heavy robotic arm for corrections, further assisting in improving the processing speed of robotic polishing. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool load changes due to gravity, which varies with the angle of the robot, ensuring consistent contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.
