An end effector that realizes the robotic automation of ultra-skilled curved surface polishing! Robot polishing of curved surfaces, such as turbine blades that require specialized techniques, is made possible with high-speed automatic force correction control. Gravity compensation is also implemented to reduce teaching effort!

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.
With the end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology, it instantly adjusts to changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces through rapid automatic correction of stroke extension and contraction, 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 extension and contraction of its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving processing speed. Furthermore, since it automatically corrects tool load variations caused by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, it consistently maintains uniform contact pressure from any angle, enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.
