Graining is a common finishing process performed on metal components used in household appliances and other appearance pieces such as steel countertops. The goal of the graining application is to remove factory defects from the metal—like scratches—and give it a uniformed, polished look. With the help of compliant end-of-arm tooling, a robotic graining process can be used to prep metal surfaces, ensuring more consistency, quality, and throughput in the graining application.

In this video, ATI demonstrates how the Passive Compliant Force Control (PCFC) device is used to incorporate highly-customized passive compliant force control into automated material removal applications. The PCFC is ideal for automated processes that utilize rigid end-effectors such as bench grinding, die grinding, cutting, and gate removal, and can be used on either side of a part-to-process or process-to-part application.
