This conventional approach needs complex and time-consuming programming, as the robot path needs to be as exact as possible. To limit such damage, conventional cast cleaning robots are typically run at a slower pace, which limits productivity. As a result the robot stops, the tool breaks or the workpiece is damaged. If the robot is struggling to trace the programmed path, the robot's servo will increase power until maximum torque, causing a collision with the excess material along the way. Until now, robots used for this task have been position controlled, moving according to defined positions and speeds.
Traditionally, the foundry finishing process has been extremely labour-intensive, with inconsistent end product quality because castings are ground, deburred and polished by hand.

The second software feature, FC SpeedChange, enables a robot to deburr or deflash part lines and surfaces of castings at a controlled speed, slowing down when encountering excessive burrs. The first, FC Pressure, lets robots grind, polish or buff castings while maintaining a constant pressure between the tool and the work surface.
At the heart of RobotWare Machining FC are two advanced software features.
