Whether it's removing welds, blending materials, or polishing surfaces, achieving the desired finish is paramount. This article delves into the technical aspects of obtaining a brushed metal finish, specifically on brass door handles, using advanced automation and the right abrasive tools. Importance of Brushed Metal Finish A brushed metal finish is highly sought after in various industries due to its aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. Commonly found on furniture, appliances, door lock hardware, and decorative pieces, a brushed finish effectively hides fingerprints and minor surface imperfections. This makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas and products that require a sleek, polished look. Key Steps to Achieve a Brushed Finish on Brass To achieve a high-quality brushed finish on brass door handles, selecting the correct abrasive sequence is crucial. Partnering with right abrasive manufacturer, can significantly enhance the process. Here's a detailed look at the steps involved: 1. Initial Surface Preparation The first step involves removing deep imperfections and casting marks. For this, a Norton R945 120 grit belt on a 30 durometer contact wheel was used. This abrasive was chosen because: Flexibility: The J weight, ceramic grain belt can wrap around radius edges while effectively working on flat areas. Aggressiveness: The 120 grit provides the necessary aggressiveness to remove deep marks efficiently. 2. Creating the Brushed Finish Once the surface is prepared, the next step is to create the brushed metal finish. This is achieved using a Norton BearTex Heavy Duty Flap Wheel. The process involves two wheels for the different parts of the handle: Inner Features: A one-inch wide wheel is used to reach the inner features of the handle. Flat Areas: A two-inch wide wheel quickly covers larger, flat areas. The aluminum oxide (AO) grain non-woven flap wheels offer compliance and measurable Material Removal Rate (MRR), ensuring consistent linear satin finishes required by many industries. Advanced Tools for Superior Finishing Using advanced tools like PushCorp’s SBS82 servo belt stand significantly enhances the finishing process. Here’s why the SBS82 is ideal for this application: SBS82 Servo Belt Stand Features: Servo Motor: With 5.7 horsepower and variable speed control, it provides consistent power and adaptability. Compliance Device: Offers 40mm of stroke with a maximum force of 115 pounds, ensuring a uniform finish. Remote Belt Tracking and Sensors: Features like remote belt tracking and belt break sensors help ensure the abrasive belt stays where it needs to. Ease of Maintenance: Belt changeouts are simplified with a pneumatic cylinder that retracts the crown tracking wheel, making the process quick and efficient. Optimizing the Finishing Process To maintain consistency and efficiency, it’s essential to monitor the wear of abrasive wheels. The SBS82 has 40mm of linear stroke to help account for variation in the part as well as compensating for the wheel’s wear. Additionally, the unit features an internal linear potentiometer to determine the linear position. This data can be used to index the robot TCP so the unit is contacting the part and the slide is in the middle position. As the TCP is adjusted, the rotational speed of the wheel can be increased to keep a constant surface feet per minute, ensuring a consistent finish. Wrapping it Up Achieving a high-quality brushed metal finish on brass door handles requires a combination of the right abrasive tools and advanced automation equipment. By following a meticulous process and leveraging the capabilities of tools like the PushCorp SBS82 servo belt stand, manufacturers can ensure a superior finish that meets industry standards. ### Optimizing Metal Finishing: The Advantages of Automated Graining for Stainless Steel Parts   Here are the Factors to Consider for Automated Graining on Stainless Steel Parts In today's manufacturing landscape, the transition to automation represents not just an evolution but a necessity for enhancing productivity, safety, and product quality. For companies considering such a transition, starting with even one automated process can set the stage for a more streamlined and efficient production line. In this article, we explore how automating abrasive processes, specifically grinding and graining applications, can be a game-changer for manufacturers, taking a closer look at a recent project involving stainless steel frames for sliding doors. The Importance of Graining in Metal Manufacturing Graining, or the application of a linear grain pattern to metal surfaces, is a critical finishing process, especially for components exposed to high traffic or visibility. This pattern not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also plays a practical role in hiding scratches, mill scale, and surface porosity. For our demonstration, the focus was on automating the graining of stainless steel parts—components of a larger weldment used in sliding door frames. The Role of Automation in Graining The traditional method of applying a grain finish is typically done manually, which, while effective, can lead to inconsistencies due to human variability. The introduction of automation into this process not only standardizes quality but significantly reduces the physical strain on workers, aligning with modern safety standards. In our lab, we used the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 784F for the grinding process. This choice was driven by the belt’s ability to maintain sharpness and durability, thanks to the inclusion of fast-cutting minerals that continually fracture to create new sharp edges. This characteristic minimizes downtime and enhances the efficiency of the robotic process, making it an ideal solution for medium pressure applications such as this one. Pneumatic vs. Expander Wheels in Automated Graining Our trials highlighted the advantages of using pneumatic contact wheels over expander wheels for this specific application. The adjustable inflation of pneumatic wheels allows for better conformity to varied surface profiles, essential for achieving uniform graining on contoured surfaces without excessive material removal. On the other hand, expander wheels require higher RPMs to maintain belt tension, which can lead to a less flexible and harsher contact on parts with intricate curves. Achieving Consistency in Automated Finishes One of the challenges in automated graining is maintaining a consistent scratch pattern across all passes. To address this, multiple overlapping passes were employed, with slight adjustments in each pass to blend any visual discrepancies smoothly. Additionally, the rigidity of robotic arms helps in maintaining precise belt paths, a crucial factor in achieving a uniform finish across the part’s surface. Integrating Advanced Tools for Optimized Automation The use of PushCorp's AFD310 Active Compliance Device and the STC0605-BT30 Servo Spindle proved instrumental in this project. The AFD310’s compliant stroke simplifies programming paths on contoured parts, maintaining constant force essential for a consistent finish. Meanwhile, the STC0605-BT30 Servo Spindle ensures steady RPMs throughout the operation, preventing variations that can affect the sanding quality. The Future of Manufacturing with Automation This project exemplifies how automation in abrasive processing not only meets but exceeds manual capabilities in terms of both efficiency and quality. For manufacturers looking to adopt similar technologies, the integration of advanced robotic tools and processes offers a path toward higher productivity and enhanced product quality. As manufacturing continues to evolve, the automation of processes like graining will play a pivotal role in defining the factories of the future—safer, more efficient, and capable of producing consistently high-quality products.

Taking a rough metal and giving it a fine, polished finish is one of the most important steps in creating a final product. Implementing an industrial robot and End of Arm Tool (EOAT) in your manufacturing process helps achieve not only consistency in results but efficiency in the polishing, sanding, and grinding processes. The Limitations of Manual Polishing Manual polishing is a very labor-intensive process. In addition, regardless of how experienced your staff may be, there is always the potential for slight inconsistencies in manual finishing. If polishing a tube by hand, for example, a person visually has to inspect the curved surface and try and apply the abrasive media to the part’s substrate in a consistent manner. Since a person is not rigid and their arm is effectively a spring, it is not possible to apply an equal amount of pressure, especially in tight areas or as they rotate around curvature. This results in inconsistent use of the abrasive materials, leading to an inconsistent or uneven surface. In addition, using different staff members to perform finishing processes can limit the consistent finish of products and negatively influence the overall production process with irregular results. Some irregularities produced by hand finishing are extremely subtle and may not impact the look of your finished product. However, the look of the product may not be the only factor influenced by inconsistent polishing processes. Minor inconsistencies in force, angle, and application can also cause uneven wear to your abrasives. Moreover, the abrasive mineral is designed to fracture with a specific amount of pressure. Too much force and the mineral will glaze over and result in a slower material removal rate. Conversely, with too little force, the abrasive will not re-fracture to present a fresh abrasive. In either case, the abrasive is not being utilized to its full potential. With a robotic process, you are able to apply more force, and in a more consistent manner; therefore, the abrasive life is dramatically improved. The combination of inconsistent wear and inconsistent results can impact your company’s end product while wasting time and money in the process. Automated polishing can help eliminate these issues and allow you and your team to focus on other aspects of your manufacturing goals. Pre- and Post-Finish Sanding Robotic sanding is ideal for pre-finish and post-finish sanding. Automation can consistently remove material faster with less chance of error. Pre-finish processing of components typically requires multiple sanding steps to bring the product to a fine, smooth finish. For maximum consistency, constant feed rate, spindle speed, and force are necessary. Post-finish sanding is sometimes required to achieve the desired finish or to correct a prior error in the finishing process. One of the main post-finishing processes is paint repair for automotive applications.  For example, dust and debris can fall on a car before paint is applied. This results in a blemish to the car’s exterior finish, which is undesirable to most manufacturers. In order to eliminate this, it requires post-finishing to sand the surface and remove the particulate. Then, it is necessary to follow up with a polishing process to blend this area with the rest of the finished surface. Robotic sanding and polishing help bring consistency to difficult post-finishing processes like paint repair. The Benefits of Automated Polishing Automated finishing also offers the advantage of being incredibly efficient when processing a large order of products. A consistent finish can be achieved due to: Consistent force being applied to the object you are polishing regardless of orientation or complex geometry Constant rotational speed from the DC Servo Motor The robot’s ability to travel at a constant feed rate High-quality abrasives used for these processes Automated polishing has proven utility, as demonstrated with the AFD1240 Active Compliance Device and STC1515 Spindle’s ability to perfectly polish bent metal tubing. Decrease Risk in Your Projects Demonstrations, such as the one shown in this PushCorp video on polishing metal tubes, illustrate for our customers how to process each type of feature on their part and also provide parameters such as force, spindle speed, feed rate, and abrasives. As Isaiah Flora states in the video, “This recipe will give the customer a baseline for the finish they can expect, which will ultimately de-risk the project.” The part was fastened to a table and an AFD1240 and STC1515-BT30 was mounted onto our 300kg Kawasaki robot. The AFD1240 is PushCorp’s largest active compliance device providing up to 215lbs of force in any orientation in which it is positioned. The constant force provided is vital to achieving a consistent polish over the entire metal tube. The STC1515-BT30 spindle mounted to the AFD1240 provided 15 HP and a max rpm of 15,000. Spinning the buffing wheel at a constant RPM provided consistent results. However, by monitoring the current draw from the amplifier during the process, our staff was able to determine that an STC0612-BT40 would be a better fit for the customer and make the appropriate adjustments, as the STC0612-BT40’s torque curve is better suited at the lower RPMs used. It would also allow the customer to size up the buffing wheel to reduce cycle time. Certain practices should always be maintained too. For example, when polishing, a buffing compound should be repeatedly applied. For best results, the polishing wheel should be oriented perpendicular to the object being polished (metal tube shown). The Norton Fixed Abrasive Buff or FAB wheel features abrasive grains within the wheel. The wheels are waterproof and tear-resistant, giving up to 35% longer life than a traditional cotton buff. This makes them a great pairing for robotic applications. The FAB wheels were held with a PushCorp toolholder with custom flanges.

The facility includes a robotic- based system designed specifically to assist finishers in performing various Proof of Concept activities that explore what’s possible through the use of abrasive products. ### Guitar Sanding When working with wood products like furniture or in this case electric guitar where the goal is giving it a smooth, silky finish, the process makes an enormous difference. Hand sanding requires considerable time and effort while leaving the result prone to human errors, including fatigue and inconsistency. In contrast, automated sanding reduces downtime and gives a perfect finish consistently across all contours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpEfKTS0aJY In this article, we will look at how to remove the imperfections in an electric guitar board's texture, making it smooth all-around using robotics sanding. At this point the body has already been roughed into shape; however, rough edges still exist. into shape; however, it is uneven across the sides. For its complex structure and areas that are challenging to reach, we examined the guitar body parts to determine the best abrasives to use. Gather Your Materials and Get Started Sanding! To access all the parts easily for sanding, we gripped the guitar body with a Shunk gripper on a  Kuka KR120 robot. This approach enabled us Much more flexibility in the movements of the guitar while using different abrasives to work on several areas of the body effectively and conveniently. To hold the guitar body in place, we engineered a custom bracket held by the Schunk PNG+ 200 universal gripper. As for spinning the sanding media, the PushCorp's STC1503-BT30 servo spindle with a maximum of 15000 rpm and three hp was perfect for the job, adjusting to the necessary speed and keeping it consistent to make the sanding process seamless. The amount of force you use to push the abrasive media into the part plays another significant role because too much pressure would over-process the area, whereas too little yields inconsistent results. For optimal control of the force variable, we mounted the STC1503-BT30 on a PushCorp AFD72-3. The "-3" denotes that the equipment is a bench-mounted passive compliance unit. We chose a passive unit because the positioning of the spindle is constant throughout the entire process applying a force of up to 50 pounds across its 20-millimeter stroke. Achieving an Even Guitar Body Finish With Robotic Sanding We started with the 3M 341D cloth spiral band as an abrasive media. We paired the cloth spiral band with a 3M expander wheel and BT30 tool holder. The 3M 341D's size enabled easy access into the small inner diameters of the guitar body. The 3M Cubitron 775L film disk with 3M precision-shaped ceramic grain was the go-to abrasive media to sand the rest of the guitar's body. This abrasive media is fashioned to cut through the underlying layer with ease and provides a long-lasting cut that pairs excellently with robot applications. We paired the film disk with 3M 5-inch and 3-inch backup pads, utilizing an interface and contoured areas to facilitate the sanding process. PushCorp’s BT30 tool holders are designed to work with these abrasive products and we carried out the guitar sanding process as follows: Step 1 We started with the open flats around the neck of the guitar board, sanding these areas with the expander wheel and 3M 341D spiral band. Regarding spots where you cannot reach due to the diameter of the band, you should decrease the diameter of the expander wheel to enable you to get tight spots such as the apex of the curves. Step 2 For the back and front cases of the board, we used the 5-inch diameter random orbital sander to render a fine, even finish. Then, we made a tool change to a 3-inch diameter pad with an interface pad to enable the effective spread of the abrasive media over the contoured sections. Step 3 To keep a flat profile, we utilized the same 3-inch diameter pad without an interface pad, thereby giving a nice touch to the edges of the guitar body. In addition to the flat profile, this method enabled us to sand the edges finely and evenly. Step 4 The challenges involved in sanding small radii uniformly vary from sanding in flats to oversizing the radius with an overground. We approached such challenges by slowing down the rpm, reducing the compliance force and running the interface pad over the radius at several angles. We repeated similar light rpm and force factors for contoured areas around the neck. However, accessing the entire contour was the biggest challenge. For such unreachable spots, we recommend you have a skilled operator manually sand them.

While it has typically been done by hand, manual sanding has proven to be time-consuming, complex, and repetitive. Human error, operator fatigue, and differences in finishing techniques between operators are some of the problems of manual sanding. Even the same professional may struggle to maintain similar levels of sanding quality throughout the course of a shift. This makes sanding an ideal process for automation. Automated sanding improves consistency and quality and allows for better allocation of human resources to more productive tasks. However, even automated sanding and refinishing are not without problems, ranging from manually changing sanding pads during production runs to overall inconsistencies and quality control issues. So, how can you overcome the biggest challenges facing your robotic sanding processes? Meet PushCorp’s Paper Changer and Finishing Equipment PushCorp’s brand new Paper Changer, The RPC100, addresses many of the common problems of automatic sanding. Here are its benefits: Minimize Downtime Due To Manual Media Changes Typical robotic sanding processes rely on human intervention to change worn-out media. This may not seem like a big deal, but this requires that an operator be available to tend to the discs as they wear — this defeats the purpose of the automation and if the operator is not there then the robot continues to use a disc past its useful life – both of these add cost to the system are unneeded consequences of a poorly executed automation solution. The PushCorp Paper Changer and Sander can replace sanding discs automatically, thereby increasing the efficiency of robotic refinishing processes. It uses a knife edge to detach a worn disc, a mechanical sensor checks to verify the presence or absence of the pad, and the robot uses the Paper Changer to apply the new disc — all without human intervention. Avoid Processing Defects From Using Worn-Out Sanding Media When worn sanding discs are not detected early enough, it’s not just downtime your company suffers but also costs per part increase as process quality also takes a significant hit.  As the machine works with an ineffective disc the finish is suffering. Such below-standard processes would then have to be repeated with a new sanding pad to get the best results. If a servo spindle and force compliance device are used the process will benefit from the constant rotational speed and force that these products provide. For sanding applications, this will allow the abrasive to wear down linearly and will last twice as long as a manual process. This is a result of the abrasive not glazing over from excessive force and instead, it re-fractures to expose fresh abrasive. Because the discs breaks down linearly, it becomes much easier to determine when the paper is worn. For example, the end-user or integrator can monitor the process from the time a new disc is applied to the point in time when the finish becomes unacceptable. Determining when to change the disc can be based on the amount of time in contact with the part or the number of parts processed before the finish is unsatisfactory. This information can be leveraged to maximize the life of each abrasive disc and ensure the Paper Changer is utilized at the correct point in the process. Achieve Consistent Results With Active Force Control Achieving a high-quality finish requires consistent force against the part being processed. Too much pressure will remove a lot of the material and cause over-removal, while too little will lead to light scratches on the surface. One solution to control the applied for is to utilize passive compliance, but since it relies on an external air pressure regulator to set the force, it works best on flat parts but can also be used on simple geometries. On the other hand, the Paper Changer and Sander can also work with active compliance, where a feedback loop monitors variables and delivers consistent force regardless of orientation or curvature. Compared to Force Torque Sensors, PushCorp’s solution works independently of the robot. Because it does not have the mass of the robot to contend with it can apply more accurate force and react in a fraction of the time, This accurate force allows for highly repeatable surface finishes for automated sanding applications. Use Only the Right Tool for the Job With Process and Media Selection Every material is unique, and each customer has specific expectations. Hence, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving the best results. If anything, determining the medium that will produce the desired finish in record time requires an in-depth understanding of the sanding process. What if you’re dealing with a single material with multiple surfaces and finishing requirements? You’d need to be able to perform numerous media changes during the automated cycle, a task that calls for equipment with the ability to change media automatically. To that end, PushCorp has up to three in-house robots for testing applications and helping to select the right tools and abrasives for a particular task. Maximize the Efficiency of Your Refinishing Processes With the Paper Changer and Finishing Equipment PushCorp’s Paper Changer and line of Finishing Equipment are an excellent choice for automated refinishing applications with high sandpaper usage, like sanding composite aerospace parts, porcelain sinks or bathtubs. Additionally, it will eliminate downtime and ensure you enjoy long periods of fully automatic sanding.

This excess material is called flash or flashing and is usually the result of material leakage between the two mating surfaces of the mold. This excess material must be removed before the part can proceed to the next step in the process. The process of removing the excess material is called deflashing. While in the past deflashing was typically done by hand, the process was time-consuming and could result in unsafe working conditions for the employees. Now, with improvements in technology, robotic deflashing is a faster and more efficient process resulting in a vastly improved finished product. Manual Deflashing In the past, manual deflashing involved employees who removed flashing using hand tools. The process was time-consuming and dangerous due to the repetitive nature of the movements required to deflash the products. The potential for injury was high with the employees using sharp tools required to remove the flashing. Employees who also used grinding tools would release dust particles into the air that would then be inhaled, leading to possible breathing problems. The conditions were unsafe with a high potential for workers' compensation injuries and subsequent loss of income for the company. Automated Deflashing Automated deflashing involves the use of a robotic arm to help remove the unwanted flashing. Depending on whether the flashing is plastic or metal different cutting tools are used. For plastics, end mills or scalpels are able to handle the finishing process. For parts that are aluminum, steel, or ductile iron–end mills, cut-off wheels or diamond coated abrasives (for ductile iron only) are better suited. Then, these cutting tools and abrasives are paired with the appropriate end of arm tooling. Together they remove the extra material leaving a finished product. The Benefits of Automated Deflashing Automated deflashing results in a safer work environment, superior quality, and increased throughput of the product. Quality is assured since the robot is simply following its programming in completing the deflashing job. Force control can be added to the robot, which is an auxiliary device that gives the robot the ability to apply just the right amount of pressure to the product being deflashed. This is important since too much pressure can take too much material from the product while too little will not remove enough material.  Throughput is increased since the robot works faster and more efficiently while it is deflashing. It simply does what needs to be done and moves on to the next part. In essence, automated deflashing achieves the same result every time more quickly and more efficiently. By automating the deflashing process, the potential for unsafe conditions or injury is greatly reduced. The robot typically completes 80-90% of the finishing operation, freeing up skilled employees to safely inspect and touch up parts. In effect, the robots have taken the dangerous part of the job and moved the employees to roles where they are better utilized. Companies do not have to worry about the potential for expensive worker compensation cases and can instead focus on increasing profits and a better and safer working environment for their employees.

Deburring plays a critical role in the manufacturing finishing process. Burrs are an undesirable by-product of certain manufacturing practices. These include drilling, punching, and turning. Burrs can obstruct drilled or punched holes, preventing air flow, or the flow of fluids or lubricants. For decades, the standard deburring practice was to grind off the vertical burr or sand the surface. However, deburring terms have come to mean different things to different organizations or industries. As a result, it’s important to clearly outline what needs to take place. For some companies, removing only the vertical burr or dross is the focus. For others, rounding the edges in addition to removing the vertical burr is the goal. Labor Advantages of Automating Deburring Automated deburring offers multiple advantages. Decreased labor costs, increased efficiency, consistency, and providing a safer working environment have led many organizations to transition from manual to automated deburring. Manual deburring can be time-consuming and produce irregularities even with experienced operators. The skill level of these staff can vary greatly due to high turnover in the industry and manually finished parts can be inconsistent. However, with an automated deburring machine, parts can be processed more consistently and efficiently, in addition to requiring less staff. There is another staff benefit resulting from automated deburring. In smaller companies, welders, laser operators, press brake operators, or other highly skilled workers do not have to pull double-duty by deburring and can instead remain focused on the areas of their expertise. Less skilled staff members can be utilized to simply load and unload components on an automated deburring machine. The savings in labor costs can be surprisingly substantial after switching from multiple shifts for multiple workers to automated deburring. Increased Consistency and Efficiency Automated deburring reduces inconsistencies, which in turn reduces the potential for the expense of rejected parts. Manual deburring by employees is largely influenced by the understanding of the employee and their individual performance. In contrast, automated deburring with set parameters can deliver a consistent, quality result. While the risk of returned parts can’t be completely eliminated, the reduction provided by automated deburring is valuable. In addition, automated deburring can also help reduce the possibility that irregular or faulty parts pass undetected through quality control checks and find their way to end product production. It’s unlikely that most companies will use their most skilled workers for manual deburring because they are needed for their expertise in other areas. As a result, these tasks are often performed by less experienced workers. Their appraisals of their work may differ significantly and result in differing levels of quality for their parts. Automated deburring can deliver a part that has a consistent finish each time a part passes through. Fabricators can consistently deliver the finish desired by the client, and the specs can be saved and used for future orders. The customer can depend on receiving the same deburred part received in previous orders. The Cost of Disabling Injuries Disabling injuries result in major expenses for employers in the United States. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI) released a report in July 2021 on the top causes of disabling injuries based on data collected in 2018 from Liberty Mutual Insurance. Liberty Mutual’s Workplace Safety Index ranks the top 10 causes of serious, nonfatal workplace injuries resulting in lost work time in excess of five days by their direct costs to U.S. businesses. In 2021, these injuries totaled $58.61 billion in direct U.S. workers’ compensation costs. More than 89% resulted from the top 10. Typical Work-Related Injuries and Conditions The National Safety Council reports that the most frequently reported workplace injuries resulting in lost work time are: Overexertion: injuries related to lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, carrying, or throwing objects. Overexertion costs businesses $13.30 billion in direct costs Contact with objects or equipment Slips, trips, or falls: falls on the same level corresponded with direct costs of $10.58 billion, while falls to a lower level totaled $6.26 billion While there is a risk for injury on any job, those in manufacturing and construction-related industries face an increased risk. Removing burr or slag and rounding edges manually exposes employees to hand deburring injuries. Finger lacerations and amputations are among the most common work-related injuries from deburring and other industrial finishing methods. Another condition frequently experienced by deburring workers is white finger syndrome. Continued exposure to heavy vibration can lead to red or white discoloration and damage nerves regulating blood flow to the arms and hands. As a result, these blood vessels constrict in response to cold, reducing blood flow to the fingers. Irreversible finger numbness or debilitating pain, as well as a loss of manual dexterity, can develop. Workers need to take frequent breaks to prevent developing the disorder, as many of those with the condition are no longer able to work. By 2025, 17 percent of the labor force will be older than 65, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Strength and aerobic capacity begin to decline around the age of 45. Brian Roberts, assistant vice president of workers compensation and ergonomics at CNA Insurance, stated at the 2019 Fabricators & Manufacturers Association’s Safety Conference that fatigue leads to musculoskeletal disorders, especially in older workers. Musculoskeletal disorders are a significant cause of lost work time in U.S. manufacturing. Reduction of Typical Work-Related Injuries and Conditions Ergonomic improvements to workstations can help reduce high-risk postures involved in deburring processes. However, these improvements are limited to risk reduction and its related expenses. Automated deburring provides a significant advantage by increasing safety. While workers deburring metal parts by hand commonly suffer injuries of severe cuts, crushed fingers, or can develop white finger syndrome, automated deburring machines can provide an accurate finish while reducing the opportunities for staff to sustain these injuries. In addition, the production time required for this part is much less, increasing output as well as client satisfaction. Conclusion: Automated Deburring Can Increase Efficiency & Saftey The advantages of automated deburring are clear. Not only can work-related injuries be reduced by adopting automated deburring, but efficiency and productivity can be increased. Skilled workers can be utilized where they are most needed. Older workers are less exposed to injury risks and lost labor time is reduced. Automated deburring also consistently produces a more uniform, higher-quality, and reproducible part. Customers receive parts that are consistent and in optimal condition for painting or powder coating. A customer’s deburring specifications are the primary factors influencing the deburring requirements. PushCorp offers several options for automated deburring. Our experienced team of engineers would be happy to offer guidance on which would be the most appropriate for your specific processes and components. ### Challenges in Automating Milling Applications   Robotic machining has become a viable alternative to using CNC machines in milling applications. Automating processes can lead to substantial savings, especially in large-scale part manufacturers such as those in aerospace and automotive, and custom manufacturers. There are other benefits besides potential cost savings from automating milling and deburring applications with robotics. Robotic milling can integrate: Advanced machine vision Force perception AI robotic machining Machine learning Autonomous measurement Autonomous execution Although robotics can replace some CNC machines, the main emphasis in robotic milling application is the rapid reconfigurable technology to meet customized process requirements and uncertain processing tasks. Despite the benefits, there are still challenges to automating milling applications. Here are some of the challenges, according to Rob House, Co-CEO of OCTOPUZ, Inc. Programming the Motion In milling applications, a robot is typically deployed to do 5+ axis milling/deburring. Creating the motion can be quite complex and require advanced software packages, and more training. It takes much more time compared to programming a 3-axis laser cutting table, for example. Robot controllers are usually not designed to read and execute points quickly, but most software will not bother optimizing the space between points since CNC machines are designed to read a lot of points. This issue can lead to lag and jitter in the robot's motion if the robot controller isn’t able to read points quickly enough. Managing Robot Errors Robotic milling toolpaths can have complex motions and movements. As House points out, this complexity increases the likelihood of running into potential errors, including: Singularities Joint limits Reach limits Collisions. An advanced software package will allow users to check and resolve these errors in a software setting before posting code to the robot and finding out when the robot is in operation. Managing the Cables Unless you are working with a very specific application, any form of milling will involve certain cabling going to the spindle head/plasma torch, etc. When creating the motion, you need to ensure that the cables are not pinched or become wrapped around the robot arm mechanisms. Managing Robotic Imprecision When moving a robot in Cartesian space, the task space is defined by the position and orientation of the end effector. You must account for potential imprecision. For example, 1-4mm of error is not unusual, although accuracy will depend on many factors. Calibration of the robot’s references, as well as the robot’s backlash in gears, gravity, and inertia compensation, can all make an impact. When milling or deburring a part that requires specific tolerances, you need to be extra careful during the robot calibration process to minimize orientation changes to ensure you are working within the optimal workspace of the arm. Robots are not as rigid as CNC machines and cannot machine all of the same materials. While robots are generally a great solution for softer materials such as foam, wood, etc., they are not generally a viable solution for tougher materials like steel that typically require a CNC machine, House said. Managing the Toolpath Size Robot controllers generally hold fewer control points than a CNC machine. In most cases, manufacturers provide point-to-point motion repeatability rather than using dynamic tool path contouring for accuracy. Even minor fluctuations in the toolpath can lead to deficiencies. If very large toolpaths are required, then the robot controller would require: Breaking up paths into smaller portions and manually managing files on the controller. Sacrificing path quality and filter-out points from Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. If available, using drip-feeding as an option. This is your best option but is not a standard feature on most robots. Complex shapes require responsive and flexible machining paths with precise programming. Pushcorp provides advanced robotic tooling solutions that help overcome these challenges, offering precision and efficiency in automated milling applications. Overcoming the Challenges of Automating Milling Applications While some machining applications continue to require the precision afforded by the stiffness of machine tools, advances in robotics are changing that. Already, robots are making significant differences in milling applications and production tasks such as deburring and roughing – tasks that otherwise require manual handling. When it comes to programming, House said, Offline Robot Programming (OLRP) is changing the way integrators and manufacturers can program, deploy, and reprogram robots. ### Evaluating a Robotic Polishing Project  One of the biggest benefits of robotic automation is improved consistency. Robots follow highly repeatable motion paths, which means robotic processing avoids the variability seen in operations performed by hand and from operator to operator. This is particularly important in robotic material finishing projects. With manual polishing part-to-part variation is inevitable: a robotic polishing system can help reduce these variations if the application is evaluated thoroughly beforehand and processed properly. We recently spoke with Mike Olson, owner of Complete Solution Robotics LLC, and Charles Young, Sales Manager - Robotic Systems at Acme Manufacturing Company, to get their views on how to evaluate a robotic polishing application. Here’s what we took away from our discussion with these two robotics automation specialists. Is the Project Well Defined? Young suggests starting out by asking, “What are the current problems driving them to automation?” Common goals are to minimize repetitive motion injuries, save labor, increase capacity, or raise quality. He recommends producing a Scope of Work document, saying, “You would be surprised how many prospects don’t understand how helpful this is.”  With this, the end customer and integrator have a set of metrics to which the project can be set.  Within this Scope of Work document, there will be careful attention paid to the exact success criteria that the cell’s design and operation will be measured against. Young also recommends establishing the annual production volume and parts required per hour for each part number or reference. He notes this is the key factor in achieving a satisfactory ROI. Are the Polishing Requirements Fully Understood? It’s essential to have a definition of the required finish. On functional parts/surfaces this may be quantified, but where a finish is for aesthetics this is much harder. Olson stressed the importance of understanding how the job is actually done now, and not just how management or engineering think it is done. He commented, “We like to go on the floor and observe, listen, and understand what the process really is.”  This will give the team a better understanding of what is actually trying to be replicated in the robotic cell. Olson also noted, “Perception of the part finish will vary between people — so how do you know if you are ever done with the project?” He advises keeping a part everyone agrees is acceptable for comparison with the production parts. Olson further stressed that polishing one surface to match a pre-existing surface on another part or area is difficult. “You are [usually] better off to polish the complete part than to match a finish that is already on the part.” Another suggestion is to assess the variability or consistency of the parts when they reach polishing, (often the final operation.) Wide variations in properties like dimensions, hardness or finish indicate unstable processes upstream.  These will complicate robotic polishing and should be addressed first. In a situation where the part is new, evaluation is especially difficult. Olson suggests a paid feasibility is always valuable because it provides the time for a thorough evaluation. PushCorp offers this type of service in their proof of concept lab in Dallas, Texas. This is a good way to identify key risks in the process being proposed and ensure the correct tooling is specified. Other Considerations Young noted the value of robotics and automation experience. He suggests implementation will go more smoothly at a company that already uses robots. Another factor in bringing about project success is to have a project champion. This person should be involved from the outset and not brought in after project details are agreed upon.  It is not necessarily important that the champion has any experience with the robot, but it is critical that they understand the process.  The science of programming a robot is easily transferred but the art of polishing or buffing is not. Getting Started Robotic polishing can lower costs and improve quality, but implementation is seldom straightforward. The advice given here will help readers evaluate potential projects. If that shows potential, PushCorp can help recommend end of arm tooling and setup proof of concept testing to ensure customers are starting off on the right track. ### The Challenges of Grinding and Finishing Automation There are significant benefits to automating grinding and finishing processes. Robotic grinding and material removal applications offer a more versatile and streamlined way to improve operations over manual operations. It also overcomes one of the biggest challenges in non-automated finishing: consistency. Human error, different finishing techniques, operator fatigue, and different operators can all provide inconsistencies that lead to an undesirable surface finish. Robotic grinding and finishing also play a major role in improving safety, filling labor shortages, and reducing the high turnover of employees assigned these tasks. However, automating your grinding and finishing process has its own challenges. Here are some of the biggest ones the integrators we work with encounter and how they overcome them. Measurable Process Specification To automate a material removal processes, it is important to have a clear set of finishing objectives. Most integrators aren’t experts in every finishing process so they have to rely on their end customer for guidance. Unfortunately, it is common for some manufacturers new to robotic grinding and finishing to have no written or measurable specification for their product. Many rely on visual inspection, leaving too much ambiguity for what constitutes an acceptable part. For companies interested in automating their manual process, it is extremely important to define what the acceptable metrics are. It is also crucial to detail the current process by listing the current abrasives and tooling used. Knowing this information upfront is imperative in helping any integrator understand what they are up against and ultimately deliver a great end product. Force Control: Active vs. Passive Force Compliance Quality finishing requires maintaining a consistent amount of force with the media against the part being processed. “Too much force causes the tool to dig into the part and remove too much material,” said Paul Carrier, COO/President of KC Robotics. “Too little force and the opposite occurs.” Passive compliance devices typically rely on an external air pressure regulator to set the force. As a result, this technology works best on flat parts or simple designs. Active compliance devices use an active feedback loop to monitor variables and deliver consistent force regardless of orientation, including: Force Acceleration Position This helps for the grinding and finishing of complex geometries and curved surfaces. Integrated force transducers and robot systems can provide flexibility in the process by measuring the force applied in any direction and automatically adjust as needed. However, the adjustments are made by the robot’s six servo motors, which results in a very slow reactionary time compared to active control devices. PushCorp’s technology is independent of the robot so it is controlling much less mass. Therefore, it is easier to maintain an extremely accurate force and react to the external grinding forces during the process. Additionally, force transducers are rigidly mounted on the robot with no compliant stroke. Therefore, it is difficult to account for part variation and abrasive wear. However, PushCorp equipment has 20-40mm of linear stroke that applies constant force throughout this range. As a result, errors due to inconsistencies in the system are mitigated and complex geometries take far fewer programmed points to maintain contact. Fixturing and Positioning Flexibility “Handling high mix, low volume, and limited tool or fixture changes can be a challenge,” said Jim Webb, Director of Sales and Marketing at Mesh Automation. Many manufacturers today are shifting to a higher mix of products coming through their facilities to address the growing trend of re-shoring. This often comes at lower volumes making the need for efficient and effective solutions all that more critical. Fixturing and positioning tools need to be flexible enough to adjust or change out for part number changes. Failing to do so can result in higher downtime between production runs and lost production. Process and Media Selection Each customer’s parts are unique and require different approaches to achieve the best results. The tools and media you would use to grind by hand are often not well suited for robotic material removal. Determining the media that will yield the best finish and cycle time possible requires an in-depth understanding of the grinding processes as well as the part. Consequently, PushCorp has 3 in-house robots to test applications and assist in selecting the right tooling and abrasives for the job. Parts that have multiple surfaces and finishing requirements typically call for one or more media changes during the automated cycle. As a result, “the ability to automatically change the media through automatic tool change, when required becomes invaluable,” says Carrier. For this very reason, PushCorp has a tool change option available for each one of their servo spindles. Air Filtration and Robot Material Removal Any work that involves grinding, finishing, or deburring will create dust that requires immediate air filtration. Failing to use the proper air filtration can lead to serious health problems for workers, including pneumoconiosis or dusty lung as scar tissue builds in the linings and can lead to chronic lung problems for machine operators. Implementing a well-designed air filtration and robot material removal system is essential. Facilities may need to upgrade when they add automation. “An automated grinding and finishing process may increase the throughput of your facility, increasing the need for dust/debris removal and filtration,” added Carrier. Although automation comes with its fair share of challenges, once a system is set up properly manufacturers can count on repeatable parts year after year. The important step in any project is recognizing these challenges early in the process so that they can be minimized every step of the way. ### Industrial Innovation 20 Years of Partnership ACME Manufacturing is a world class robotic systems integrator.

As inventors of the force compliance device, we have helped automate thousands of robotic processes across the globe. Innovation is in our DNA, and it’s why we are constantly evolving, creating, and adding new surface-finishing products to our portfolio each year. Whether you are a manufacturer or a robotic systems integrator, we have the tooling to help automate your manual process. Let's discuss your project and see how we can help bring quality and consistency to your surface-finishing application. CONTACT US   The First Robotic Force Compliance Device PushCorp was founded in March 1993 with the primary goal of creating end effectors for robotic, surface-finishing processes. Our first product, which was patented in 1995, was the Adjustable Force Device (AFD). This product's function was to allow a robot to maintain a consistent yet adjustable force when in contact with a part's surface. Previously, industrial robots simply moved from point A to point B without any regard for the amount of force being applied. PushCorp’s innovative compliance device opened the door for robotic grinding, sanding, polishing, and other surface-finishing applications that require a precise force. Prior to this invention, these types of processes were considered virtually impossible to automate due to the immense programming that was required to account for inconsistencies between parts and the abrasive wear. VIEW OUR FORCE COMPLIANCE PRODUCTS   PushCorp's First Robotic Spindle The innovation didn’t stop there;  after selling the first AFD systems, it became apparent that there was a lack of rotary spindles that could be mounted on the compliance device. In the late '90s, most of the spindles on the market were very heavy, since they were designed for CNC’s and other fixed automation machines. On the other hand, there was a plethora of pneumatic tools; however, these were not robust enough for robotic, surface-finishing applications. These pneumatic tools would slow down when they came in contact with the part or when there was a drop in air pressure. Both of these factors contributed to inconsistent surface finishes.  PushCorp solved the weight and consistency issues with our revolutionary servo spindle, which was released in 1997. The liquid-cooled, permanent magnet servo spindle was not only lightweight, but also provided a high power-to-weight ratio and constant speed, enabling consistent material removal. VIEW OUR SPINDLE PRODUCTS   Manufactured in the USA At our core, there has always been an emphasis on quality and durability across PushCorp's entire product line. Being heavily involved in the automotive and aerospace industries, our customers expect a product that can last years with continuous, trouble-free use. To ensure this high level of quality, a decision was made early on to manufacture and assemble as many products in-house as possible. To this day, 95% of all our components are machined in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas. With a full range of CNC and measuring equipment, we are able to manufacture extremely high quality parts for new tools, repairs, and R&D projects. We also machine custom brackets and tool holders to make integrating our equipment with your robot and abrasives easier than ever before. VIEW OUR TOOL HOLDER PRODUCTS   Hand-Assembled, Robotic Tooling Today, PushCorp can proudly say that 100% of assembly takes place in- house. Each product is hand assembled with rigorous quality control procedures to ensure a premium and unsurpassed end product. PushCorp has several production areas, which are outfitted with custom, dedicated tooling to ensure efficiency and consistency in the assembly process. Exceptional Quality Control Quality control is  at the center of everything we do at PushCorp. As a company, we have dedicated countless engineering hours to create testing equipment for all of our force compliance devices and servo spindles. For robotic polishing and sanding applications, precise force is critical. We use fixture plates and calibrated external load cells to test our AFD compliance units after assembly. Unlike our competitors’ products, our equipment does not need to be routinely re-calibrated. With reasonable care, the force compliance device can apply consistent and accurate force for many years. As with all of our  products, if a tool is damaged, we can rebuild the equipment to like-new condition. Only then would re-calibration be needed. Likewise, our servo spindles have an entire room dedicated to quality control. Before each spindle is shipped, we run them for the suggested break-in period recommended by the bearing manufacturer. This not only breaks in the bearings but is another procedure we undergo to find components that have manufacturing defects. During this time, the temperature, noise, torque, and speed are measured, automatically. With this data, we are able to analyze the results to help pinpoint any potential issues and guarantee a quality product for our customers.   Robotic Process Labs to De-risk Automation Projects With over 30 years of experience, we have helped provide tooling to integrators and end users to automate thousands of robotic, material-removal applications.

This can occur when a mold is worn out or the part’s geometry is very complex, so the viscous material seeps from the cavity. This can be seen with both metal and plastic parts, so the process to remove this material can be quite different. For plastic parts, these often come out of the mold still hot and can be cut with a knife. If the parts are not immediately processed and the material cools down, then it is common for companies to use a spindle and an end mill to remove the flash via a machining process. For aluminum and softer metals, the same approach can be taken, but a larger spindle with heavy-duty bearings is necessary. Due to the nature of the molding process, the flash can be inconsistent in shape and thickness. As a result, the bearings need to have a high radial load to help withstand interrupted cuts, varying thickness, and vibration from the process. For harder materials such as steel or ductile iron, the heavy-duty spindle is also used, but it is paired with cutoff wheels or diamond coated abrasives (ductile iron only). No matter what the material is, these applications are dirty, dangerous, and dull. They require very sharp cutting tools or abrasives that can be harmful if they come in contact with a human operator. As a result, manufacturers are quickly moving to automated deflashing processes. Not only does this create a safer work environment, but also results in a higher quality part. Robotic Deflashing Plastic Part As an illustration, this video shows how effortless automated robotic deflashing can be. In fact, a robot paired with a PushCorp force compliance device is just what you need to automate your robotic, plastic deflashing application This video showcases our AFD72. It enables the sharp knife to remain in contact with the parent material without damaging the substrate. AFD72 There are two key elements to this process. First, the AFD72 maintains constant contact with the surface. Then, the constant force allows the sharp knife to follow the contour of the part without digging in and damaging the final product. We recommend: Walter Deflashing Abrasives ### Gate Removal Heavy-Duty Equipment Built to Last PushCorp servo spindles have been deployed around the globe to help automate robotic, gate-removal processes. Now, more than ever, foundries are focusing on providing safer work environments and higher quality parts. PushCorp's powerful and durable servo spindles are a perfect fit for these harsh environments and demanding applications. Robotic gate removal typically requires the process equipment to be rigidly mounted. In this type of setup, the spindle is exposed to higher loading compared to grinding or sanding with compliance. Therefore, PushCorp has created a range of spindles for more strenuous applications. The STC1515, STC1015, and STC0612 feature heavy-duty bearings. These help the spindles withstand impact loading and radial forces, to help ensure long term, continuous usage. Robotic Metal-Casting Cutoffs with Steel, Cast Iron, and Aluminum As an illustration, this video shows how effortless removing gates and risers from castings and cutting through plate steel can be. A robot, paired with a PushCorp force compliance device and servo spindle, is just what you need to automate your material-removal process. This video showcases our STC0612-BT40. The STC0612-BT40 is a 12 horse power spindle with a max RPM of 6,000. Its powerful motor provides a constant RPM and high torque to power through these cutoff applications. STC0612-BT40 Abrasive cutoffs work at an extremely fast rate. These clips utilize bonded cutoff wheels and diamond coated saws. Your cutoff method will depend on metal type, its thickness, and set precision requirements.

CONTACT US ### Routing & Cutting Heavy-Duty Equipment Built to Last Routing and cutting are two dirty and dangerous applications. Both require very sharp cutting tools that can be harmful if they come in contact with a human operator. As a result, manufacturers are quickly moving to automated routing processes. Not only does this create a safer work environment, but it also results in a higher quality part. Robotic routing and cutting applications typically require removing material to a known height or location. Consequently, the process equipment is rigidly mounted on the end of the robot. In this setup, the spindle is exposed to higher loading compared to grinding or sanding with compliance. Therefore, PushCorp has created a range of spindles for more strenuous applications. The STC1515, STC1015, and STC0612 feature heavy-duty bearings. These help the spindles withstand impact loading and radial forces, ensuring beautiful finishes time and time again. Robotic Routing Fiberglass Boat Console As an illustration, this video shows how effortless robotic routing can be. In fact, a robot paired with a PushCorp heavy-duty servo spindle is just what you need to automate your routing or cutting application. This video showcases our STC1515. Its powerful and rugged design allow it to cut through the fiberglass with ease. STC1515 There are two key elements to this process. First, the STC1515 rotates the abrasive at a constant speed. Then, it is important to have a robot that is rigid enough to make a straight cut with minimal vibration. These two factors are imperative to creating beautifully finished parts. Additionally, high quality cutters should be used. Inferior cutting tools cut well at the beginning, but will dull quickly and reduce the material-removal rate. Consequently, this can lead to high radial forces being transmitted to the tool. We recommend: Walter Cutting Abrasives Application Engineers With the Experience to Help You Succeed Our application engineers have years of experience and can help recommend the right process equipment for your automation project.

CONTACT US ### Robotic Drilling Say Goodbye to the Drill Press! PushCorp force compliance devices and servo spindles are a must-have for robotic drilling applications. Without it, position-based drilling is extremely difficult to automate. A robot moves from point A to point B without any regard for the amount of force it is applying. So, as the drill bit wears, the robot does not know to slow down. As a result, a dull drill bit will not have time to cut the material. Therefore, the bit will "plunge" through soft material and leave an undesirable finish. For harder materials, the drill bit will break. Additionally, it is difficult for robots to move in a straight line, which will result in a crooked hole. Conversely, force-based drilling makes it easy to account for the wear of the drill bit. With process development, a force is set that will cut the material at a desirable rate. Then, as the bit wears, the cut time will increase. This time can be monitored in the program and used as a trigger to perform a robotic tool change. Because the force compliance device has a linear stroke, it provides a motion that is similar to a drill press. This ensures a straight cut every time. Robotic Drilling Aluminum As an illustration, this video shows how effortless drilling can be. In fact, a robot paired with a PushCorp heavy-duty servo spindle is just what you need to automate your manual, material-removal application. This video showcases our STC1015 and AFD620. Together, they are able to drill consistent, straight holes with ease.

CONTACT US ### Weld Shaving The Fastest Way to Remove a Weld PushCorp robotic, weld-shaving technology is the most efficient way possible to completely remove welds in a single pass. These heavy-duty cutting tools are able to remove typical steel welds (up to 3 inches in width), quickly and efficiently at rates up to 3 inch3/minute. Aluminum and other non-ferrous welds can be removed three times faster than that! (see our Automated Weld Removal Equipment) In non-automated processes, operators rely on visual inspections. Not only is this is a tedious process, but it leaves the finish completely up to the individual. The SWS100-3.7 and SWS100-7.2 add consistency to the weld-removal process. The guide wheels can be adjusted to set the cutter height to machine the weld away — above, below or flush to the parent material surface. Robotic Shaving Spiral Pipe As an illustration, this video showcases how effortless robotic weld-removal can be. In fact, a robot paired with a PushCorp weld shaver is just what you need to automate your manual, material-removal application. This video showcases our SWS100-7.2. Its powerful and rugged design allows it to shave the steel weld with ease. SWS100-7.2 There are two key elements to this process. First, the AFD82 applies a constant contact and force. This allows the guide wheels on the SWS100-7.2 to remain in contact with the part. Without constant contact, the inserts would be exposed to severe vibration, which would decrease their life significantly. The second factor is the adjustable height of the SWS100-7.2's cutter. Once set, the weld shaver is able to consistently remove the weld to the same height every time. These two factors are imperative to achieving repeatable results. Additionally, high quality cutting inserts should be used. The SWS100-7.2 and SWS100-3.7 come standard with a set of premium inserts from Sandvik to provide longterm, repeatable cuts: SANDVIK - N331.1A-11 50 08M-PM4240 Application Engineers With the Experience to Help You Succeed Our application engineers have years of experience and can help recommend the right process equipment for your project.

CONTACT US ### Polishing Remove Inconsistencies and Elevate Your Part's Finish Robotic, automated polishing is an application where PushCorp's equipment excels. Our precise force and constant speed tooling helps account for part variability and abrasive wear. Therefore, manual processes can be automated easier than ever. In non-automated, polishing processes, operators rely on visual inspections. Not only is this is a tedious process, but it leaves the finish completely up to the individual. The skill level of these workers are extremely variable due to the high turnover in the industry. As a result, manually finished parts are inconsistent, being either over or under processed.  In addition to an inferior finish, non-automated processes use a higher volume of abrasives. For example, if the operator applies too much force, the abrasive media glazes over. Conversely, the abrasive will not re-fracture if too little force is applied. With an automated system, not only is the part quality significantly better, but abrasive life can increase by 200-300%. Robotic Polishing Boat Propeller As an illustration, this video shows how effortless robotic polishing can be. In fact, a robot paired with a PushCorp floor standing servo backstand is just what you need to automate your material-removal application. This video showcases an SBS81, which applies constant speed and force. As a result, this equipment is able to quickly and efficiently polish the surface of the boat propeller. SBS81 There are two key elements to this process. First, the SBS81 applies consistent force to the part. Then, it rotates the abrasive at a constant speed. As a result, it is easier than ever to create beautifully finished parts. Additionally, high quality abrasives should be used to achieve the most consistent finish. Low caliber abrasives may work well at the beginning, but will often degrade quickly. Therefore, we recommend the following companies: Walter Polishing Abrasives 3M Polishing Abrasives Norton Saint-Gobain Polishing Abrasives Application Engineers With the Experience to Help You Succeed Our application engineers have years of experience and can recommend the right process equipment for your integration project.

In non-automated finishing processes, operators rely on visual inspections. Not only is this a tedious process, but it leaves the finish completely up to the individual doing the inspection. The skill level of these workers is extremely variable due to the high turnover in the industry. As a result, manually finished parts are inconsistent, being either over or under-processed.  In addition to an inferior finish, non-automated processes use a higher volume of abrasives. For example, if the operator applies too much force, the abrasive media glazes over. Conversely, the abrasive will not re-fracture if too little force is applied. With an automated system, not only is the part quality significantly better, but abrasive life can increase by 200-300%.

This spindle is designed to mount in a parallel or perpendicular orientation on the AFD120 & AFD60 force compliance devices. Together with a Force compliance Device, the STC1202 has never been easier to program beautiful and consistent surface finishes. The STC1202 may also be mounted directly to the robot with no force compliance device. This opens the door for rigid applications such as automated routing and deflashing. The STC1202 accepts an ISO20 tapered toolholder. PushCorp has a wide variety of off the shelf tool holders that customers can select from. The STC1202 comes standard with a quick-change functionality; simply supply 90 PSI to drop off a toolholder, then release the air pressure to pick up a new one with a different abrasive. The STC1202 comes standard with a tool present sensor. When a tool is gripped properly in the spindle, an output will turn on and stay on until the tool is released. The Kollmorgen AKD2G amplifier powers the servo spindle, as well as provides analog speed control and digital I/O. ### AFD120 AFD120 The AFD120 is part of PushCorp’s Active Compliance series, and has been designed with cobots and smaller industrial robots in mind. This end effector can apply up to 27 lbf [120 N] in any orientation, automatically. Consequently, this tooling is a great choice for automating robotic, material-removal applications where parts have complex or curved geometries. The SM1202 and all RPS100 variations are PushCorp products optimized to mount to the AFD120. Together, they can automate a wide variety of robotic processes: • Robotic Grinding • Robotic Sanding • Robotic Polishing • Robotic Deburring • Robotic Drilling For increased force output, our AFD310 is the next largest in the series. It can apply up to 60 lbf [267 N], making it a great candidate for medium duty processes. The AFD120 Series is available in two configurations: AFD120-1 Vertical and the AFD120-2 Horizontal; the units are functionally identical but differ in the orientation in which they attach to the robot’s wrist. The AFD120 Series has been designed to allow the user to easily swap configurations, and attach to the robot’s face plate via a single secure fastener. The AFD120-1 applies force perpendicular to the robot’s face plate, whereas the AFD120-2 is parallel. These configurations allow you to optimize a robot’s reach and dexterity for your particular application. The AFD120 is available in two versions: AFD120-FCU & AFD120-POE. The AFD120-FCU communicates with the PLC/robot controller through the FCUFLEX to set the applied force and monitor I/O. The AFD120-POE bypasses the FCU and communicates directly via passive Power Over Ethernet (POE) using JSON structured text to send and receive commands over UDP. ### AFD62 AFD62 End Effector (EOAT) The AFD62 is part of PushCorp’s Passive Compliance series. This end effector can apply up to 27 lbf [120 N] in any orientation. Unlike the active series, this equipment relies on an external air pressure regulator to set the applied force. This pressure must change when a new orientation is programmed in order to maintain a constant force. For this reason, the AFD62 is most commonly used for robotic, material-removal applications with flat or prismatic parts. High speed spindles can be mounted to the AFD62. Together, they can automate a wide variety of light-duty, robotic processes: Automated Grinding Automated Sanding Automated Polishing Automated Deburring Automated Deflashing If the application requires a heavier spindle, our AFD72 is the third largest in the series. It can apply up to 60 lbf [267 N] and features a more robust set of linear bearings. The AFD62 Series is available in two configurations: AFD62-1 Vertical and the AFD62-2 Horizontal. The units are functionally identical but differ in the orientation in which they attach to the robot's wrist. This allows you to optimize a robot’s reach and dexterity for your particular application.   ### AKD2G AKD2G Servo Amplifier The AKD2G is manufactured by Kollmorgen and is PushCorp's next-generation amplifier.

Standard: +/- 10VDC Analog 24VDC Ethernet TCP/UDP EthernetIP Optional Protocols: ProfiNet Our products come standard with the AKD2G that is capable of 24 amps continuous and has the supply voltage of 208-480VAC. With the AKD2G, controlling our servo spindles has never been easier. Using EthernetIP or ProfiNet, you can communicate directly with a fieldbus enabled robot controller or PLC. ### RI-90 RI-90 Series Rotary Interface The RI-90 Rotary Interface is PushCorp’s latest, ALL NEW product. The RI-90 enables a robot, along with a PushCorp compliant device and servo spindle, to apply BOTH radial and axial forces in a single, easy setup. When mounted to any PushCorp Compliance Device, a robot utilizes the RI-90 Rotary Interface to change the orientation of a Servo Spindle relative to the applied force at any time during processing. Its clever design uses a simple and quick robot motion to rotate the spindle 90 degrees. This eliminates the need for costly and complex hardware to change out the end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) or for a separate, robotic system entirely. Instead, this compact, lightweight, and robust product simplifies the system completely. Externally mounted LEDs allow the user to visually verify the unit’s locked status from a distance. Industrial standard digital outputs provide this locking, as well as the positional status to the robot or PLC controller, to ensure fail-safe operation. The RI-90’s unique design brings an unprecedented level of flexibility, and its purpose-built design ensures maximum uptime for your material-removal process.

The TWS91 System is composed of five major components: the Track (either Flex or High-Flex), the Drive Carriage, the Weld Shaver, the Control Umbilical, and the Control Console. A Weld Shaver (SWS100-3.7-XXmm) is moved along the Track by the Drive Carriage. The customer controls everything through the Control Console. The Track is attached to a steel panel via eight rare earth magnets. Both types of track (either Flex or High-Flex) are designed to conform to the curvature of the panel. The 35 in. (0.9 m) High-Flex Track will conform to a 80 in. (2 m) bend radius. The 70 in. (1.8 m) Flex Track will conform to a 400 in. (10 m) bend radius, allowing fewer track sections to be utilized. The Drive Carriage travels along the Track and moves the Weld Shaver over the weld seam. It also provides the compliant force to keep the Weld Shaver in contact with the panel. The Drive Carriage is motivated by a gear-reduced servo motor with closed-loop feedback. This allows the user to easily control and monitor the desired feed rate. One of three different configurations of the Weld Shaver (SWS100-3.7-20mm, SWS100-3.7-39mm, or SWS100-3.7-59mm) is installed on the Drive Carriage, dependent on the width of the weld seam to be removed. ### SWS100-7.2 Series SWS100-7.2 Series Servo Weld Shaver The PushCorp SWS100-7.2 Servo Weld Shaver has the power and capability to transform a largely varying profile into a consistent, predetermined surface slightly above or below the surrounding parent metal.  The SWS100-7.2 is ready to take on ferrous metal, including cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel.  This unit excels at removing weld beads and casting parting lines.
