High-speed autonomous correction of pressing force! Robot polishing that significantly reduces teaching effort is possible.

FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) that occurs during processing in polishing and grinding, which require skilled techniques, in relation to dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces of the workpiece, at high speed. It also automatically compensates for gravitational loads, allowing for consistent polishing/grinding with a set contact force. End effectors equipped with this technology solve management challenges. This technology can increase the speed of devices and robots, thereby improving processing speed and cycle time. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ability to control contact pressure through the expansion and contraction of the ACF itself means that there is no need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving the processing speed of robotic polishing. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool loads affected by gravity, which changes with the angle of the robot, ensuring a consistent contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies. Seeing is believing! Please check our website or YouTube (FerRobotics) for application example videos.

FerRobotics products equipped polishing robots will be showcased by our sales partner, Yanase Co., Ltd., a polishing material manufacturer, at iREX2022. We invite you to visit us. Booth: E-52 Location: Tokyo Big Sight 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! By giving the robot a sense of touch, it can autonomously correct for workpiece tolerances, warping, and even gravitational loads at high speed, allowing for consistent contact pressure during processing from any angle. For example, R-shaped forms like motorcycle tanks and pipes can be automatically polished and ground without the need for intricate programming, thus reducing cycle times.

Introducing the double-header type AOK403 as a repair polishing system using FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology (ACT). The double-header design allows for sanding and polishing with a single unit without the need to change tools, enabling automation that significantly improves cycle times for repair polishing tasks that require the "feel" of highly skilled operators. ACT is a technology that automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) generated during polishing and grinding processes that require skilled techniques, allowing for consistent polishing/grinding at the set contact force regardless of variations in processing speed or gravitational load differences due to angles. With the end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT, it automatically adjusts to changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces of the workpiece at high speed through instantaneous stroke extension and contraction, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force. Furthermore, it automatically corrects tool load variations caused by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, ensuring uniform contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.
