There are many ways to successfully automate a grinding application. In this video, ATI demonstrates the CGV Compliant Angle Grinder for a robotic process-to-part application and the PCFC Passive Compliant Force Control device for adding compliance to a rigid grinding tool in a part-to-process application.

In both cases, compliance is the key to successful robotic grinding applications. Pneumatic compliance built into ATI’s tools exert a constant force and compensate for surface irregularities. This ensures consistent results and facilitates easier robot programming.
|
In this example, both products are utilized in grinding and blending weld seams that are typically seen in automotive components and larger reinforcement components.
