DIY Robotics is offering a turn-key sanding solution to help small and medium-sized businesses bring industrial robotic sanding, finishing, and polishing into their facilities. Called the Robotic Sanding Cell, the solution employs a FANUC CRX-10iA/L robot, ATI’s AOV-10 Random Orbital Sander, and an abrasives kit from 3M. Together, these components prime the Robotic Sanding Cell to offer users exceptional flexibility, performance, and usability.

Sanding is a well-known process to many people, and while it may appear straightforward, many important factors contribute to a successful sanding application—especially when developing an automated solution. Among these factors is the choice of robotic end-effector. Without the ability to detect variations in the surface of parts, robots rely on their end-of-arm tooling to comply with irregularities and maintain contact with a work piece. To satisfy the need for compliant end-of-arm tooling in their Robotic Sanding Cell, DIY chose ATI’s AOV-10.

With a compact, rugged design, powerful vane motor, and adjustable, built-in compliance, the AOV-10 brings the right combination of performance and flexibility to DIY’s sanding solution. Optimized for 3M abrasives, the AOV-10 can accommodate a wide variety of sanding and finishing media, making it easy for users to find the right finish for their part.
|
To help eliminate the need for manual changeover of media, the Robotic Sanding Cell ships with the AOV-10’s Automatic Media Exchange System. This system allows for the hands-free exchange of media, making the process a fully automated operation and removing workers from the dull, dirty, and dangerous aspects of sanding applications.
