Design and Operating Principle
FerRobotics' patented Active Compliant Technology (ACT) is a pneumatic actuator with integrated sensors and fast control that keeps contact force constant regardless of robot position or part tolerances. The robot follows a nominal path while ACT compensates deviations, so programming effort drops and surface quality becomes reproducible.
The kit concept combines ACT with a tool optimised for robots, so rotation speed, contact force and feed rate can each be set independently. FerRobotics states its industrial tools deliver about twice the output of standard devices in 24/7 operation and achieve even surfaces without post-processing.
Integration and Selection
Mount on a robot of suitable payload, connect power, clean dry air and extraction, and set force, speed and feed for each process step.
Program a nominal path; ACT compensates tolerances, reducing teaching effort.
