An end effector that realizes the robotic automation of curved surface polishing, which is a skilled artisan technique! Robot polishing of curved surfaces, such as turbine blades that require specialized skills, is made possible with high-speed automatic correction control of pressing force. Gravity compensation is also implemented to reduce 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-flat surfaces by instantly adjusting the stroke, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force.
This technology can increase 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 expansion 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 changes due to gravity based on the robot's angle, ensuring consistent contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.
