Polishing & Buffing
Background
Polishing and buffing improve the appearance of metal and plastic parts. The work involves dust, polishing compound splatter, and noise, creating health risks and staffing difficulty, while manual polishing can over-polish and produce uneven gloss.
Industry Pain Points
Health Risks, Uneven Gloss, and Force Compensation
Polishing environments involve dust, compound splatter, noise, health risks, and hiring difficulty.
Manual polishing can over-polish and create uneven gloss, making yield unstable.
Curved parts and buffing wheel wear require constant-force compliant contact.
01
Cost and ROI
The UFACTORY 850 offers competitive hardware cost, helping small and midsize manufacturers and integrators shorten project payback.
02
Plug-and-Play Setup
The ISO flange and standard I/O make polishing end-effector installation easier and shorten on-site deployment and commissioning.
03
Open Development
ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs support process-specific polishing development and secondary integration for varied production lines.
04
Process Consistency
Stable contact force across materials and curves helps keep gloss and roughness consistent while supporting steady production rhythm.
05
Constant Force Control
With a six-axis force/torque sensor, the robot can maintain contact force and compensate for surface curvature and wheel wear.
06
Vision Integration
The UFACTORY 850 connects to 2D/3D vision for workpiece and polishing-area localization on flexible lines with position variation.
07
Flexible Changeover
Lightweight construction and simple programming allow fast station transfer, product changeover, and varied polishing tasks.
08
Labor Value Release
Robots move workers away from dust, compound splatter, noise, vibration, and repetitive polishing while easing staffing and capacity limits.
