Doing Tasks with Robots That Were Not Possible Before
The intuitive Force Guide integrated force control system from Epson Robots enables robots to perform grinding, polishing, part insertion, screw driving and other high precision operations that require high performance motion guidance.
Next Generation Robot Machine Tending
The modular MATRIS robot system from DMG MORI can be paired with turning centers, machining centers and 5-axis machines for flexible machine tending of high precision medical and automotive applications, as well as general machining operations.
How to Give Robotic Grinding and Polishing Processes a Sense of Touch
Ideal for robotic assembly, grinding, and polishing operations, the Axia80 F/T sensor from ATI obtains feedback from force and torque loads as a process is occurring to make robotic and automated processes more acute and responsive.
Robot Performance Measurement and Calibration
To increase robot positional accuracy up to 12X in machining, drilling, grinding, welding, cutting, inspection, deburring and 3D printing operations, the Robot Measurement Solution from API verifies and calibrates robot accuracy to the ISO 9283 standard in a completely automated run-time.
Robotic Grinding, Deburring and Polishing Cell
The SmartForce robotic cell from ABCO Automation uses human-touch capabilities to grind, deburr, or polish in any orientation, even over contours, with consistent, quality results that remove employees from working in manual machining processes under gritty, taxing, and hazardous conditions.
