An end effector that realizes the robotization of ultra-skilled curved surface polishing! Robot polishing of curved surfaces, such as turbine blades that require specialized techniques, is possible with high-speed automatic correction control of pressing force. Gravity compensation is also performed, reducing teaching effort!

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 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 instantly adjusting the stroke, 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 control of contact pressure through the expansion and contraction of the ACF's stroke eliminates the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, further assisting in improving processing speed. Moreover, since it automatically compensates for tool load variations caused by gravity changes due to the robot's angle, it consistently maintains uniform contact pressure from any angle, allowing for a finish without processing inconsistencies.
