Process Overview

This application performs uniform polishing on the 3D surface of an automotive hood by utilizing a Universal Robots UR10, an OnRobot HEX force/torque sensor, and an OnRobot Sander.

With the combination of the OnRobot force/torque sensor and the sander, polishing can be performed while applying consistent force to match 3D curved surfaces.
