Automated Metal Polishing Solutions

Over the years, traditional industrial robot system have played a vital role in automating polishing and finishing processes. However, as the demand for flexibility and cost optimization continue to grow, Cobot have emerge as a new direction for modern manufacturing. Keeping pace with this trend, ETEK introduces an advanced Cobot-based polishing and finishing, delivering outstanding efficiency for today’s manufacturing enterprises.

System configuration:

In general, the configuration of Cobot polishing system is similar to traditional industrial Robot, but it is enhanced with intelligent sensors and control mechanisms to ensure flexibility and safe collaboration with human. A typical polishing Cobot system includes:

 – Robot Arms: Equipped advanced technology that enables automatic force adjustment, ensuring stable and uniform polishing. Integrate force sensors and position sensors allow the robot to recognize surface conditions and automatically fine-tune contact force and angle to achieve the highest level of precision.

– Central Controller: Processes data and controls motion with easy programming and operation.

– Polishing Tool Assembly: Includes a rotary motor and abrasive discs, suitable for a wide range of materials.

– Fixed Fixture & Dust Extraction System: Securely holds the workpiece and reduces dust, maintaining a clean and safe working environment

Operating principle:

– At the start of operation, the Cobot is pre-programmed with the movement trajectory and the required force for each polishing stage. During operation:

+ Force sensors continuously collect feedback from the workpiece surface.

+ Based on this data, the system automatically adjusts pressure, speed, and tool direction.

+ This enables consistent contact force, preventing surface scratches and uneven polishing.
