Development of polishing tool system for robot

로보트용 금형 연마 공구 시스템의 개발

Die finishing (polishing and lapping) after NC machining is characterized as one bottleneck process for reducing lead time. For automation of this typical manual work, a flexible polishing tool system using industrial robot has been developed. This tool system has three principal functions in order to achieve reduction of waviness, 3 D.O.F. compliance and constant pressure structure. This polishing tool shows that adaptability to free form surface is increased and programmability to various areas of die surface is also acquired.
