Previously, the manufacturing industry relied heavily on manual grinding. However, manual grinding was inefficient, labor-intensive, the quality and quantity of the grinding could not be guaranteed, and it caused severe dust pollution. The working environment was also very harsh. Nowadays, more and more industries are beginning to use grinding robots instead of manual operation for grinding and polishing tasks. The advantages are obvious. So, how does it work? What are its characteristics?

The working mode of the grinding robot:

One approach is to use a robot's end effector to hold the grinding tool and actively contact the workpiece. The workpiece remains fixed in position. This method is typically employed when the robot's load capacity is limited, and the quality and volume of the processed workpiece are relatively large. It is called a tool-type grinding robot.

The other type is where the robot's end effector holds the workpiece and the workpiece is then ground by the grinding tool that is in close contact with it. The grinding tool remains fixed while the workpiece is moved. This method is typically used when the workpiece to be processed is small in size and requires high precision in grinding. It is called a workpiece-type grinding robot. Currently, it is widely used in many industries such as 3C, hardware and furniture, medical equipment, automotive parts, and small household appliances.

Characteristics of the grinding robot:

1. High level of artificial intelligence. It can completely replace human labor and complete various grinding and polishing processes; it breaks through the limitations of human labor and can complete grinding and polishing procedures that humans cannot perform, while ensuring the accuracy of grinding and the mirror-like polishing effect.

2. High efficiency, high flexibility, and high adaptability. The grinding robot can replace 5 to 10 human workers and can operate continuously for 24 hours without interruption at high speed, thereby increasing the grinding and polishing efficiency by at least 10 times. It can handle various hidden corners, crevices, weld seams, and inner holes of the workpieces.

3. Expand and enhance the capabilities of robots. Make robots more intelligent and capable of performing more complex tasks, such as the grinding and polishing of the curved surfaces of car bodies.

4. Suitable for grinding and polishing of various types and specifications of workpieces. The processing program supports offline programming. For new workpiece grinding and polishing, the processing program can be started offline, and this process does not require a shutdown, reducing the idle time of the robot and achieving the continuity of grinding and polishing for various types of workpieces, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency.

5. Grinding and Polishing - High Consistency. The robot's return accuracy is 0.05mm. It can always return to the zero position during each grinding process, which can fully ensure the consistency of grinding and polishing.

6. Stable performance. It ensures the robot operates stably under high-speed conditions.
