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.
Constant contact force saves abrasive and produces a uniform surface pattern in one pass.
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.
