…created the first collaborative robot built specifically for composites sanding. Kane said its GRIT cobot is reconfigurable and easy to operate, working alongside humans to perform safe and precise sanding, grinding, and finishing. It asserted that its systems are compact, mobile, and affordable, making automation accessible to all sizes and types of manufacturers. Source: Kane Robotics Why did the company choose to work with cobots rather than industrial robots? “I have another business and a big customer was looking for ways to automate,” Spruce told Robotics 24/7. “We showed people what a lightweight, low-cost robot could do next to a…

…without additional sensors. An example of this would be sanding a thin composite part. In this application, it is important to control how much force is applied to avoid removing too much material and damaging the composite layers. Force-controlled robots not only offer safety, but are also useful for applications such as sanding. Source: SwRI Another example might be assembly of parts with threaded fasteners. Traditionally, this task would require precise indexing. However, with force control, the fastener position can be adjusted until it easily threads on. It is possible to get force control packages for traditional robots, but these…
