Automation of the artisan's skills (polishing, grinding) and hazardous tasks that have been given up until now, with contact force control through high-speed autonomous control. Dramatic improvements are expected from the end effector.
FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) that occurs during grinding and polishing, which require skilled techniques, at high speed. This technology allows for consistent grinding and polishing 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 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.
This technology can increase 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 stroke's expansion and contraction, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving the processing speed of robotic polishing. Furthermore, since it automatically corrects tool load variations caused by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, it consistently maintains uniform contact pressure from any angle, enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.
