The iGrinder® Axial Floating Force Control can float with an axial constant force. It integrates a force sensor, a displacement sensor and an inclination sensor to sense parameters such as grinding force, floating position and grinding head attitude in real time. iGrinder® has an independent control system that does not require external programs to participate in control.
When the iGrinder is used with the robot for grinding, polishing and other applications, the robot only needs to move according to the teaching track, and the force control and floating functions are completed by the iGrinder® itself. Users only need to enter the required force value, and the iGrinder® can automatically maintain a constant grinding pressure no matter what grinding attitude the robot is. At the same time, the iGrinder® front end can be equipped with a variety of tools for different application scenarios, such as air grinders, electric spindles, angle grinders, straight grinders, belt grinders, wire drawing machines, rotary files, etc.
