Attention those who want to automate skilled tasks like polishing and grinding! The 2022 International Robot Exhibition starts today. FerRobotics sales partner Yanase Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting. Be sure to check out the best solutions for robotic polishing.

We will not leave 3K jobs for the next generation. A solution to the shortage of skilled workers. Automated robot polishing that gives industrial robots human-like senses through high-speed autonomous control units for 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 pressure, 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-planar surfaces through rapid stroke adjustments, maintaining contact with the workpiece at a constant set force. This technology can increase the speed at which machines 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 expansion 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 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 inconsistencies.

• Steel

Freely automate various surface processing with a tool exchange system. The ultimate tool for robot polishing and deburring automation. Instant automatic pressure correction with a stroke of 35mm.

The ACF-K is a tool exchange unit that allows for easy attachment and detachment of hand tools such as angle grinders, belt sanders, orbital sanders, and die grinders. It enables simple automation with constant control of applied pressure, contributing to your company's labor-saving efforts. FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) that occurs during processing against dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces in grinding and polishing processes that require skilled techniques. It also automatically compensates for gravitational loads, allowing for grinding and polishing at a consistently set applied pressure. 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 itself controls the applied pressure by adjusting its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which assists in improving the processing speed of robotic polishing. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool loads due to gravity, which varies with the robot's angle, ensuring a consistent applied pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

• Crane and others

The end effector inherits the artisan's skill. It automatically adjusts the pressure (applied force) for polishing in an instant based on angle and workpiece distortion, achieving uniform pressure through automation.

FerRobotics Compliant Robot Technology GmbH has developed the ACF-K series, which focuses on collaborative robots using its proprietary ACT technology. It allows for easy exchange of hand tools such as orbital sanders, angle grinders, die grinders, and belt grinders. The series can accommodate various applications by replacing hand tools, enabling the automation of grinding and polishing processes without compromise. Seeing is believing! Please check our website or YouTube (FerRobotics) for example videos of applications. The ACT technology automates the grinding and polishing processes, which have been considered difficult to automate, by automatically correcting the load based on the dimensional variations and angles of the workpiece, completely controlling the pressing force for full automation. It is applicable for surface processing such as buff polishing, sanding, weld bead removal, deburring, scale removal, and paint stripping. This significantly improves production speed while maintaining high-quality standards. Benefits (Value Creation): - Tasks that can be performed by robots are assigned to robots, allowing human employees to be reassigned to creative work that only humans can do. - High-quality tasks with high reproducibility can be performed 24/7, 365 days a year.

High-quality finishing polishing robot! Instant correction of pressing force for grinding operations, weld bead removal, and deburring processes. Dramatically improve productivity with high-speed response.

FerRobotics' unique technology, ACT, 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 compensates for changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces by rapidly adjusting the stroke length, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force. This technology enables faster trajectory speeds for machines and robots, increasing processing speed and improving cycle times. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ACF itself controls the contact pressure through stroke adjustments, 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 at different robot angles, ensuring a consistent contact pressure from any angle and allowing for a finish without processing inconsistencies. Please check our YouTube channel (FerRobotics) for application example videos.
