The craftsmanship that has been given up until now (polishing and grinding) can be automated through uniform force correction using a high-speed autonomous control system for contact force. Gravity loads are also autonomously controlled! Even the polishing of turbine blades, which requires skilled techniques, can be automated with ACF.

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 allows for consistent polishing/grinding at the set contact force, unaffected by variations in processing speed or gravitational load differences due to angles.
Using an end effector (ACF) with ACT technology, it quickly and automatically adjusts to changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-planar surfaces by instantaneously extending and retracting the stroke, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force.
This technology can increase the speed of devices and robots, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle times. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the control of contact pressure through the extension and retraction of the ACF itself eliminates the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, further assisting 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, enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.
