Enable robots to dose the force and adapt intuitively to a surface at the moment of contact

Robots are blind, deaf and without any senses. The company´s FerRobotic product Active Compliant Technology makes robots feel, what they are doing. Thus, getting their touch-sensitive grip on yielding tasks and applications which require an extraordinary high level on positioning tolerance. Even more as active force, control has been a prohibitive knock-out criteria for traditional robot technologies so far.

Top tier of the product Active Compliant Technology is the surface finishing: sanding, grinding, deburring and polishing. These vast automation gaps had been unsolved, since the key requirement of seamless contour tracking with consistant contact force was simply not possible. Too complex was the programming for example of a car body and too high the risk of possible damage. However, this strenuous precision work is extremely quality-relevant, thus, manufacutreres across all industries have been looking for suitable automation solutions. Whereby it is almost impossible to quantify the enormous number of different products affected by the surface finishing problem.

The product Active Compliant Technology has steped beyond this limit by giving robots this special incrediant, tactile sense. This radical innovation has opened totally new market niches for contact-sensitive robot applications and has induced a spiral of innovation. Of course the robot industry, manufacturers and work force profit from this technology impact immensely.

Sanding, grinding, deburring and polishing are burdened 3D jobs (Dusty-Dirty-Dangerous), which come along with hazardous working conditions and monotony. Besides dust emissions, unergonomic working posture and the constant physical strain anyway, the vibrations of the sanding device cause irreversible numbness in the hands. No wonder that work force is encreasingly hard to find in Europe, America and the APAC region.

Unions and industrial workplace safety now urge to relieve workers. With the company FerRobotics these propostions are getting real. The company FerRobotics has not only set new standards in the field of sensitive robotic but thereby also has changed and improved the working conditions of numerous labourers. The automotive worlwide has absorbed this new-state-of-the-art, aerospace and general industry are moving strongly towards as well.

The company´s FerRobotic products stand for maximum benefit, optimal economic efficiency and guaranteed process reliability. They meet highest technological standards and distinguish with maximum user-friendliness. Also they increase flexibility and quality, generate higher levels of added value and optimize functionality and efficiency.
