POLISHING/SANDING
Robotmaster can be used for sanding, polishing and grinding applications using a variety of tools and techniques including belt sanders, abrasive disks, wheels, laps, brushes and pads.

Advantages for Polishing/Sanding Application
  • Polishing/sanding programs can be generated automatically from the CAD model and subsequently modified with minimal effort to adjust for:
    • Change in tool shape
    • Diameter of polishing wheel or brush
    • Depth of passes
    • Number of passes
  • Automatically manage and change the distance between steps without re-programming the part
  • Ability to program and manage tool tilt directions for optimal surface contact increasing the surface finish quality and tool life
  • Tool orientations can be managed automatically to optimize the program for minimal wrist rotation and maximize robot reach
  • Joint repositioning tools can be used to easily control the robot configurations and wrist winding/unwinding for optimal milling trajectories
  • Calibration tools that compensate for actual part setup
