UFACTORY xArm 6 is equipped with a vacuum gripper

Background

Sanding is used for surface leveling and pre-coating treatment in woodworking, metal, and composite applications. It produces heavy dust and health risks, while uneven manual sanding can undermine downstream coating quality.

Industry Pain Points

Health Risks, Inconsistency, and Surface Stability

Sanding dust creates respiratory health risks and hiring difficulty.
Manual sanding can be uneven or excessive, resulting in poor consistency.
As a pre-coating process, sanding requires stable surface consistency.

Why UFACTORY Cobots

Plug-and-Play Setup 01

Plug-and-Play Setup

The ISO flange and standard I/O make sanding end-effector installation easier and shorten deployment and commissioning.

Open Development 02

Open Development

ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs support process-specific sanding development and secondary integration for varied line needs.

Process Consistency 03

Process Consistency

Stable contact force improves surface flatness and roughness consistency while supporting a steady production rhythm.

Constant Force Control 04

Constant Force Control

With a six-axis force/torque sensor, the robot can maintain contact force and compensate for surface curvature and sandpaper wear.

Cost and ROI 05

Cost and ROI

The UFACTORY 850 offers competitive hardware cost, helping small and midsize manufacturers and integrators shorten project payback.

Labor Value Release 06

Labor Value Release

Robots move workers away from heavy dust, noise, vibration, and repetitive sanding while easing staffing and capacity limits.

Vision Integration 07

Vision Integration

The UFACTORY 850 connects to 2D/3D vision for workpiece and sanding-area localization on flexible lines with position variation.

Flexible Changeover 08

Flexible Changeover

Lightweight construction and simple programming support fast station transfer, product changeover, and varied sanding tasks.
