An end effector that enables automation systems for high-speed processing and high-quality finishing of skilled techniques (polishing, grinding) and hazardous tasks that have been given up until now.
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.
With the end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology, it instantly and rapidly compensates for changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces by adjusting the stroke's extension and contraction, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force.
This technology can increase the speed at which devices and robots move along their trajectories, 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, it automatically compensates for tool load variations caused by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, ensuring a consistent contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing irregularities.
