Pursuing the best in grinding automation! Faro Robotics' end effector! By incorporating high-speed automatic correction of contact force, we give industrial robots a human-like sense of touch, automating grinding and polishing processes with optimal quality! Dramatically improving management challenges and productivity!

FerRobotics Compliant Robot Technology GmbH has developed a UR+ model, ACF-K, using its proprietary technology ACT. It can be easily set up on the teaching pendant of Universal Robots UR10, UR10e, and UR16e.
The end effector (ACF) utilizing ACT technology automatically compensates for changes in the dimensions, curved shapes, and non-planarity of the workpiece at high speed through instant stroke expansion and contraction, maintaining contact with the workpiece at a constant force as per the set values.
This technology can increase the speed of the device or robot's trajectory, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle time. Additionally, in robot polishing and grinding, the ACF itself controls the pressing force through stroke expansion and contraction, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, which further assists in improving the processing speed of robot polishing. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool load changes due to gravity, which varies with the robot's angle, ensuring a consistent pressing force from any angle and enabling a finish without processing irregularities.
