Weld bead removal polishing is automated with high-speed and clean contact force correction for robots.
FerRobotics ACF-K
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.

Detailed information
-
We provide the best solutions for robotic polishing and robotic grinding, enabling industrial robots to be equipped with a sense of touch using our patented Active Compliant Technology (ACT). This technology enhances flexibility, reliability, and profitability in manufacturing environments more than ever before. The ACT, optimized for robots, automatically measures the necessary pressing force, instantly compensates for complex surface shapes, and allows for consistent processing with a uniform 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 experiencing the performance of our ACT solutions, you will immediately feel the results. It brings overwhelming effectiveness to automated polishing and grinding (including polishing, sanding, grinding, deburring, buffing, and mirror finishing).
