Traditional industrial robots employ fixed-path, rigid grinding techniques, which have long been challenging to overcome due to the quality issues arising from workpiece tolerances. Fluctuations in the dimensions of castings and aluminum alloy die-cast parts, as well as minor positioning errors in fixtures, can lead to uneven grinding forces, making thin-walled components highly susceptible to deformation. This is a primary reason why the effectiveness of many robot grinding projects falls short of expectations. The force-controlled floating grinding head has thus emerged as the optimal solution.
The force-controlled floating polishing head is equipped with a high-precision sensor system, which grants industrial robots the ability to perceive like human hands. It real-time monitors the polishing contact pressure and automatically adjusts the pressure magnitude in milliseconds. The built-in floating travel allows it to adapt to the surface undulations of the workpiece, eliminating the need for extremely precise robot motion trajectories, thereby significantly reducing offline programming and tooling manufacturing costs.
In scenarios involving the processing of new energy component parts, automotive valve bodies, and aerospace structural components, this combination of systems offers distinct advantages. The Hengli polishing mode ensures uniform surface smoothness for each product, significantly reducing the rate of rework. Force control parameters can be set independently, allowing for seamless switching between rough grinding, fine grinding, and polishing processes. The system is compatible with various materials such as metal, plastic, and composite materials.
By attaching the force control floating polishing head to the end of an industrial robot, outdated robot workstations can be directly upgraded without the need to replace the robot’s main body. This approach allows for controlled investment costs and is a popular choice for the intelligent upgrading of polishing processes in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.
