“Polishing Robot”, an industry term for a robot that can be polished automatically, is widely used in the fields of 3C, sanitary ware, IT, auto parts, industrial parts, medical devices and civil products, as shown in figure 9-4.

Robotic polishing is the process of refining surfaces until they are smooth and shiny. This application is repetitive and tedious while requiring extreme consistency. Polishing robots are programmed to apply just the right amount of pressure and move precisely in the right direction, for a consistent, thorough, high-quality product.

The advantages of robotic material removal
With the flexibility, repeatability and extreme precision, polishing robots are possible to grind, trim or polish almost any material to achieve a consistent high-quality finish. These robots also improve production time while reducing waste. Robots save workers from both the drudgery and safety hazards associated with polishing. Polishing robots are unharmed by fumes and dust. Plus, robotic polishing is better for the environment because dry abrasive wheels are used instead of chemical solutions.

Methods for handling the process with a robot
Currently, polishing robots are mostly the six-axis robot in industrial applications. Based on the different properties of the end effector, the two main approaches are either for the robot to hold the workpiece or the tool, as shown in figure 9-5.
(a) Holding the workpiece
(b) Holding the tool

Methods for handling the process with a robot
The polishing robot holding the workpiece is usually used to polishing the relatively small workpiece. It grabs the workpiece without polished by its end effector and makes this workpiece polished on the polishing machine. Additional, it is possible to add value to the system by letting the robot unload the finished part onto a conveyor or similar. There is usually one or several tools around the polishing robot. However, robots holding the tool generally apply to large parts or workpieces that are heavier for the polishing robot.

Methods for handling the process with a robot
The handling of the workpiece can be done manually, and the robot automatically changes the required polishing tools from the tool rack. Usually applied the force control device in this system to ensure that the polishing pressure between the tool and the workpiece is consistent and to compensate the consumption of polishing head. The polishing quality can be uniform by the force control device while the teach also can be simplified.
In a practical application, it is also possible to have several robots working together for ultimate flexibility. One robot holds the part, whilst the other manipulates the tool.

The Structure of Polishing Robot’s System
The polishing robot’s system holding the tool consists mainly of manipulator, controller, teach pendant, the operating system of polishing and peripheral equipment, as shown in figure 9-6.

The Structure of Polishing Robot’s System
• The operating system of polishing
This system includes polishing power head, inverter, force sensor, force sensor controller and automatic tool changer(ATC).
• Peripheral equipment
The peripheral equipment of polishing robot’s system, including fence, the robot platform, transmission device, the device to put workpiece, quieter, facilitates the system to complete the whole polishing.
