Fully automating painting repair polishing that requires ultra-fine force control with a double-header machine.
FerRobotics AOK403
Automation of repair polishing for painting finishes that require highly skilled techniques. Significant reduction in cycle time using a double header with a high-speed autonomous contact force correction control system.
FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) generated 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 the patented ACT in the end effector (ACF), it instantly and automatically compensates for changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces by rapidly adjusting the stroke, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force. With a double header, it enables two processes—sanding and polishing—on a single machine, significantly improving cycle times. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ACF controls the contact pressure through the expansion and contraction of its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, thus assisting in improving processing speed. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool load changes due to gravity, which varies with the robot's angle, ensuring uniform contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

Detailed information
-
We provide the best solutions for robotic polishing and robotic grinding by equipping industrial robots with tactile sensing through our patented technology, Active Compliant Technology (ACT). This enables greater flexibility, reliability, and profitability in manufacturing environments. The ACT, optimized for robots, automatically measures the required pressing force, instantly compensates for complex surface shapes, and allows for consistent processing with a fixed pressing force. It can also respond to sudden opposing forces, such as when the target workpiece moves. As a standard tool and as a custom package product for special requirements, ACT clearly contributes to efficiency improvements in production processes that have previously been impossible to automate. By experiencing the performance of our ACT solutions, you will immediately feel the results. It brings overwhelming effectiveness to automated polishing and grinding (including polishing, sanding, grinding, deburring, buffing, and mirror finishing).
