Overview

Traditional sanding and grinding are time-intensive, requiring multiple steps. Integrating Active Force Control (AFC) with high-speed operations transforms these processes into efficient, precise solutions. AFC maintains constant contact force, ensuring uniform pressure despite variations in robot speed, orientation, or material. This enables faster cycle times, higher material removal rates with optimized pressure and speed. Flawless results without additional finishing steps. Optimized conditions reduce tool wear and operational costs. The approach boosts throughput, reduces labor needs, and minimizes rework, providing a compelling return on investment (ROI). By combining precision and speed, manufacturers achieve exceptional finishes in one streamlined process, improving efficiency and time-to-market. Key Takeaway: "Get it finished in one go!" High-speed AFC ensures perfect finishes, shorter cycles, and reduced costs, redefining automated finishing.
