An end effector that realizes the robotization of the artisan skills required for surface polishing.

Our unique technology (Autonomous Contact Force Correction Technology (ACT)) enables end effectors to automate skilled tasks such as polishing and grinding, which were previously deemed impossible, while achieving shorter cycle times and high-quality finishes. In response to variations in workpiece dimensions and other changes in the processing target, it autonomously corrects the contact force instantaneously, ensuring uniform processing with consistent contact force. Gravity compensation is also performed autonomously, applying uniform contact force regardless of angle, and maintaining consistent finishing quality even for workpieces with R shapes through simple settings. Additionally, due to the high correction speed, even when increasing the robot's trajectory speed, the contact force can be kept constant during processing, achieving reduced cycle times. 2023 International Robot Exhibition Venue: Tokyo Big Sight Dates: November 29 (Wed) - December 2 (Sat), 2023 Booth: W3-36 You can experience cutting-edge technology from around the world up close.

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.
