Function Package IRB 4400 Force Control for Machining The Force Control Function Package IRB 4400 for machining applications enables customers and system integrators to exploit a new dimension of robot intelligence for finishing processes such as deburring, grinding and polishing (e.g. for work pieces made of steel, ­ tainless s steel, aluminum, magnesium, wood, plastics, glass, etc.). New functionality To activate the new functionality of force control for machining more easily and much faster for users this special Function Package was developed and can be provided for various manipulator types. Integrated solution The basic Function Package includes the software FC Base including a dedicated GUI (Graphical User Interface) for machining for the FlexPendant, a special axis computer plus, a DAQ board, the Force-/Torque-Sensor and the sensor cable which is integrated in a hose package. Ready to use package With this Function Package main advantages can be obtained, which enables customers to concentrate on the present application and process. By reason that the Function Package is delivered fully assembled, tested and verified – meaning that the basic set-up of the system is already done before delivery – valuable savings of ressources like manpower, time and costs are given. Higher productivity The revolutionary technology of force control for machining in combination with the Function Package IRB 4400 enables a faster integration (because of minimized programming and optimizing efforts) and a quality improvement (because of reduced risks for damaging tools, workpieces or even the robot) in the production. This leads to fewer costs, higher productivity and better process results due to the fact that not the position but the process itself gets controll
