Directory:Rimrock Automation/Robotic Buffing Automation

Robotic buffing can be performed on metal, plastic, & wood parts. This application is usually performed on through a part to tool based system design, meaning the robot holds the part & presents it to buffing machinery. Typical end of arm tooling mechanisms include vacuum cups or pneumatic grippers, & is largely dependent on part size, weight, & surface conditions.

In some instances, such as for large & heavy parts, a tool to part based system design is necessary.
