Flexible ACF Automation is the Prime Standard

Simply brilliant: An ingenious end-of-arm equipment between robot and tool masterminds the system behavior as an autonomous force manager to fast and reliably compensate for tolerances within the already existing robot paths. As a result the applied force always remains consistant (even in changing orientations) and it is the working position that becomes the self-adapting factor. So actually your robot delivers the highest possible level on handcraft performance but now precisely force controlled, safe and one hundred percent reproducible and traceable.

At the Volkswagen site in Hannover for example sands an ACF robot setup fully automated the primer, a tricky job honestly. This new active and force controlled technology is a major success since it again upgrades the extraordinary high coating quality of the Porsche Panamera and the VW Amarok. The tender process for the next productions lines in Hannover is on already, a worldwide ACF roll-out is in process.

Even the synergies on the final product are on a still wider scale than has been seen previously. Actually the slightest coating irregularity is vital to generate air turbulence and so causes driving noise in the passenger compartment. The ACF reduces such undesired effects by delivering a higher coating quality than ever before.

Traditionally the automotive standards are high. Audi, Porsche, Renault, BMW, Bentley or Aston Martin among others are testing or implementing the Active Contact Flange. However the ACF scores particularly by following the principles of process safety, quality, economy, efficiency, ergonomics and sustainability. This qualifies the Active Contact Flange from FerRobotics being the top equipment for flexible automation.
