High precision force control ensures quality output

Polishing is one of the last steps in surface processing, so getting it wrong will lead to a wasted part. Mimic Buffing is a standard robotic cell with a high-precision force-controlled buffing process. The high force control precision of the machine is a key feature that helps to ensure that the output quality is of the highest standard when automating polishing.

Configurable to any process need

Mimic Buffing can be used in tool-in-hand polishing and part-in-hand buffing. With the tool-in-hand approach, you mount a tool to a robot and move it on the surface of the part. This works for large parts and the part-in-hand approach for smaller parts.

Different teaching methods

You can use different teaching methods to automate polishing with Mimic Buffing: teach by demonstration, point-to-point teaching, and CAD programming. Mimic technology records and edits buffing programs for complex small workpieces. Point-to-point teaching enables simple buffing path programming with no experience needed. Users can also import 3D CAD files to apply buffing paths directly.
