【FerRobotics】Exhibiting at the 2023 International Robot Exhibition! Displaying multiple types of robotic systems for polishing automation solutions! Achieving the automation of skilled tasks such as polishing and grinding, which were previously considered impossible, along with reduced cycle times and high-quality finishes.

Dramatic improvement in cycle time. Solutions to the hiring issues of skilled workers and 3K workers. Reduction in costs of consumables and abrasives. Automation of polishing with high-speed autonomous correction control of contact force!

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 a 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 adjusts to changes in the dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces of the workpiece by rapidly extending and retracting the stroke, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force. This technology can increase the speed of devices and robots' 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 retraction of its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving the processing speed of robotic polishing. Moreover, since it automatically corrects for tool load changes due to gravity based on the robot's angle, it consistently maintains uniform contact pressure from any angle, enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

Weld bead removal and complete automation from rough cutting to finishing polishing can be achieved with a single machine. With the integration of a tool exchange system and high-speed autonomous pressure correction technology, full automation is possible!

Equipped with an auto tool changer function, the pressing force high-speed autonomous correction technology achieves a reduction in cycle time for skilled operations and complete automation of high-quality finishing. Using ACT technology, the end effector autonomously corrects the force applied to the workpiece in response to variations in dimensions and warping by adjusting the stroke instantaneously, maintaining contact with the set force. Additionally, gravity compensation is performed autonomously, ensuring a consistent pressing force from any angle, and allowing for easy settings to maintain finishing quality on R-shaped workpieces. This technology enables the robot to maintain a constant contact force even when increasing the trajectory speed, improving cycle time and achieving high-quality finishing with high repeatability. Furthermore, automation allows for increased pressing force and reduces the frequency of changing abrasive grits by maintaining a consistent force, significantly contributing to the extension of abrasive lifespan and reduction of running costs. The tool holder accommodates almost all types of polishing tools, from grinders to double-action sanders and brushing tools. It also allows for control of motor rotation speed in 10 rpm increments, broadening the scope of automation in polishing tasks. Additionally, it supports an auto paper changer.

First, please watch the video. 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 speeds. This technology allows for consistent polishing/grinding at the set contact force, unaffected by variations in speed or gravitational load differences due to angles. With the end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology, it maintains contact with the workpiece at the set force by instantly adjusting the stroke's extension and contraction in response to changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-planar surfaces of the workpiece. This technology enables an increase in the speed of the device or robot's trajectory, thereby improving processing speed and cycle time. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ACF controls the contact pressure through the stroke's extension and contraction, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot 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.

Automation of labor-intensive R-shaped and complex masking tasks without wrinkles or bubbles. Enabling automation of processes that were previously impossible, with high-speed operations.

This product makes it possible to automate masking and taping tasks that were previously impossible. FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology (ACT) automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) at high speed, allowing it to maintain contact with the target object at a constant applied force, regardless of fast processing speeds or variations in gravitational load due to angles. With the end effector (ATK) utilizing this technology, taping and masking tasks can be finished with the highest quality, free of wrinkles and bubbles. It also allows for increased robot speed, enhancing work speed and improving cycle time. The tool load, which varies due to gravity depending on the robot's angle, is automatically corrected, ensuring a consistent applied pressure from any angle, enabling high-quality taping with high repeatability even on R-shaped and complex geometries.

Achievements in the automotive industry are proof of improvement results. Fully automated polishing system for removing spot welding spatter on white bodies. Autonomous correction control of contact force.

ASK Brushing Kit. The main use is for removing welding spatter, brush polishing, and cleaning in the automotive industry. ASK301, 401 Ideal finishing for body-in-white and sheet metal. Seeing is believing! Please check our website or YouTube (FerRobotics) for application example videos. In spot and laser welding, spatter and soot remain on the workpiece, but with the brushing operation that fully controls the contact force using ASK, brushing can be performed while maintaining the electrodeposition coating. The quality of brushing before painting is a necessary condition for optimizing the painting process of the final product, so complete automation with ASK eliminates the need for post-processing and achieves the best finish. ■ Benefits: - High-speed autonomous correction control of pressing force increases the robot's trajectory speed, resulting in dramatic improvements in productivity and cycle time for polishing and brushing. - High-level finishing quality can be consistently achieved 24/7, 365 days a year. - Reduced consumption of consumables leads to cost savings. - Avoids the risk of vibration-related issues through automation. - High ROI (Return on Investment) allows for early recovery of capital investment.
