Surface grinding and finishing, such as sanding and polishing, are time-consuming and labor-intensive processes that require the operator to have stamina and technical skill to perform manually.
Robotmaster® can be used to program part to tool configurations commonly used for grinding and finishing applications. Part to tool orientations can be managed automatically to optimize the program for minimal wrist rotation and maintaining constant orientation between the part edge and the tool.
Automatically generate paths from the CAD model
Ensure program feasibility on large parts with complex paths
Manipulate process-specific parameters such as feed-rates, RPM, forces, passes, penetration depth etc., with ease
Control tool orientations for optimal surface contact
Optimize the program path to avoid errors and collisions
Visualize depth during simulation
Achieve consistent, accurate, high-quality finishes, and scratch patterns
Eliminate the need to rework parts
Reduce programming time from days to minutes
Maximize robotic profitability
