Cobots or industrial robots
Universal Robots, Nachi and KUKA
Here are mechanical setup examples of how you are able to customize buffing to fit into your process with cobots and industrial robots. The machine's state-of-the-art wet buffing capabilities are designed and approved by Apple Inc. This means that the machine has been rigorously tested and meets Apple's high standards for quality and safety.

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.
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.
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.
