Pursuing the best in grinding automation. Faro Robotics' end effector.
FerRobotics
With high-speed automatic correction of contact force, industrial robots are equipped with human-like senses (tactile perception), automating polishing and grinding processes with optimal quality! Dramatically improve management challenges and productivity.
FerRobotics Compliant Robot Technology GmbH has developed a unique technology called ACT, which is used in the UR+ model ACF-K. 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, curvature, and non-planarity of the workpiece at high speed through instantaneous stroke adjustments, maintaining constant contact with the workpiece at the set force. This technology allows for increased speed in the movement of devices and robot trajectories, thereby enhancing processing speed and improving cycle times. Additionally, in robot polishing and grinding, the ability to control the pressing force through the stroke adjustments of the ACF itself eliminates the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, further assisting 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 consistent pressing force from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

Detailed information
-
We provide the best solutions for robotic polishing and grinding that equip industrial robots with tactile feedback using our patented Active Compliant Technology (ACT), enabling greater flexibility, reliability, and profitability in manufacturing environments than ever before. The ACT, optimized for robots, automatically measures the required pressing force, instantly compensates for complex surface shapes, and allows for consistent processing with a constant pressing force. It can also respond to sudden opposing forces, such as when the target workpiece moves. As a standard tool and as a custom package product tailored to special requirements, ACT clearly contributes to efficiency improvements in production processes that have previously been impossible to automate. By confirming the performance of our ACT solutions, you will immediately feel the results. It brings overwhelming effectiveness to automated polishing and grinding (polishing, sanding, grinding, deburring, buffing, mirror finishing, etc.).
