CRX Contour Sanding

May 14, 2024

General Industries & Automotive Engineer

This video introduces CRX Contour Sanding, which involves sanding the outline of an object, including any bumps or curves. This video illustrates how building a sanding program is easy with the CRX’s drag-and-drop contour icons and explains the appropriate positions for the points along the sanding path. The video explains that the contour icons utilize the internal force control sensor in the CRX to sand. This video explains setting up target force, approach velocity, pushing direction velocity, contact force threshold, push distance limit, and motion start are crucial for a proper sanding program. Compliance and force control should not be used together, and compliance was removed for the demo.
