Automation of weld bead removal using skilled craftsmanship. Instant automatic correction control of the most important pressure (applied force) for polishing, allowing for uniform pressure during processing. Reduction of cycle time.

Orbital polishing kit using the unique ACT technology developed by FerRobotics Compliant Robot Technology GmbH. ACT automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) that occurs during processing in grinding and polishing operations, which require skilled techniques, in response to dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-planar surfaces, at high speed. It also automatically corrects for gravitational load, allowing for consistent polishing/grinding at the set contact force. This technology can increase the speed at which devices and robots move along their paths, thereby improving processing speed and cycle time. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the control of contact pressure through the expansion and contraction of the ACF itself means there is no need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving processing speed. Furthermore, since it automatically corrects for tool load due to gravity, which changes with the angle of the robot, it maintains a uniform contact pressure from any angle, enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies. A picture is worth a thousand words! Please check our website or YouTube (FerRobotics) for application example videos.

Automating the surface finishing of craftsmanship. Instantly and automatically correcting the most important pressure (applied force) for polishing, adjusting for angles, workpiece warping, and curved surfaces to ensure uniform pressure during processing.

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 quickly and automatically compensates for changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-planar surfaces by instantaneously adjusting the stroke length, 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 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 allowing for a finish without processing inconsistencies.

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.

"Because the ground is poor, we have no choice but to use a structural slab." Such fixed notions of "over-design" unnecessarily drive up construction costs. In large space buildings such as warehouses, factories, and stores, the choice of floor slab type is one of the most significant variables affecting construction costs. What is important is to compare and verify the advantages and risks of each type, and to derive the optimal solution that is "suitable for the purpose" for the entire building. By reading this content, you will understand the following points: - Characteristics of the five main construction methods with different support forms - Recommended situations for adoption - Cost comparison examples of floor slabs "I am struggling with the dilemma of floor settlement risks and costs on weak ground." "I want to know the optimal solution for the site without being tied to a specific construction method." Construction companies and general contractor representatives facing such issues are encouraged to take a look.
