Universal Robots' polishing and grinding technology

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: Universal Robots/UR

Polishing is an indispensable fundamental process in the manufacturing industry. From heavy machinery and automobiles to mobile phones and home appliances, they are all inseparable from polishing and grinding; It is precisely because of the existence of this production process that these items that can be seen everywhere in our daily life have a high-value appearance.

However, behind the "glamorous" surface, there are many workers' hard work and professional pain. Years of grinding metal materials can lead to work-related injuries and joint and lung diseases; Metal dust from grinding may cause blasting accidents. The high labor intensity and poor working environment have led to a sharp reduction in the number of employees in the polishing and grinding profession, and the phenomenon of "difficult recruitment" is becoming more and more common. In addition, manual polishing and grinding also faces problems such as low production power and poor product consistency.

All these factors have prompted the grinding career to change careers and seek robotics and automation solutions.

1. Universal Robots' built-in force control mode ensures consistent polishing and polishing even on tortuous and uneven surfaces.

2. Polishing, polishing and grinding missions require a particularly delicate feel. Universal Robots with Force Control actively and flexibly adjust their orientation to achieve the desired force.

3. Let robots replace humans to perform dangerous missions. Universal Robots technology allows the robot to constrain its force when it touches a human. You can also program Universal Robots to operate in deceleration mode when a person enters the robot's work area, and resume full speed when a person is disengaged.
