An end effector that realizes the automation of curved surface polishing, which is a skilled artisan technique! Robot polishing of curved surfaces, such as turbine blades that require specialized skills, is possible with high-speed automatic pressure 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 enables an increase in the speed of the device or robot's trajectory, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle time. 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 robotic arm for corrections, which further assists in improving processing speed. Furthermore, it automatically corrects tool load variations caused by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, ensuring a consistent contact pressure from any angle and allowing for a finish without processing inconsistencies.
