The CGV-900 Compliant Angle Grinder provides an automated alternative to grinding and finishing by hand for robotic grinding processes.
It offers built-in compliance, allowing the unit to compensate for irregularities in part surfaces and maintain contact with a workpiece. The compliance force is adjustable, enabling users to fine-tune their finishing processes in real time. It also provides position-sensing data to help indicate media wear to let users establish media replacement intervals, eliminating unexpected rework, and downtime. Additionally, the data can be used for process verification.
The grinder contains a governed, vane-style motor that provides a more consistent speed during the grinding and finishing processes. This ensures an even finish throughout the contact path of the tool. It's compatible with industry-standard grinding media such as flap wheels, sanding discs, and wire brushes.
