Mimic Kit: Human Skill - Machine Precision

The NRS-6Force/Torque Sensor kit is a high stiffness, durable and accurate multi-axis force-torque sensor suitable for demanding force-sensitive applications. The sensor measures both forces and torques and is ideal for tasks such as grinding, polishing, object weighing, and velocity adjustment based on payload.

Mimicは、作業者の有機的な手の動きをキャプチャし、デモンストレーションによってロボットに転送する、直感的なソフトウェアプラットフォームです。従来のポイント・トゥ・ポイントのアプローチではプログラミングが困難で時間のかかる複雑なツールパスの自動化を可能にします。 　モジュール式でオープンなソフトウェアプラットフォームであるため、ユーザーはロボットの制御を維持し、独自のトラッキング技術を使用でき、既に知っているハンドヘルドツールとロボットツールの両方で作業することが可能です。 　Mimic URキットは、Nordbo Robotics社のポーズトラッカーセンサーと対応するURCapで構成されており、簡単にプラグアンドプレイが可能です。Mimicを搭載したロボットは、研削、サンディング、バリ取り、塗装、注型などの応用分野で、表面処理の柔軟な自動化を可能にします。Mimicは、ロボット工学の専門家が現場で生産スケジュールを調整したり組み替えたりする必要がないため、拡張性のある柔軟性を提供します。作業者は、数時間のうちに、外部の関与なしに、自分たちの生産を再構成することができます。

Automation of surface processing tasks can often be challenging due to the inflexibility of robotic movements. These issues are magnified when dealing with surfaces that have any level of complexity to them. The Nordbo Active Compensation Unit solves these problems using innovative pneumatic technology which allows users to select a desired force and have it maintained automatically by the robot. This allows users to design a process that delivers a consistent and accurate finish regardless of the complexity of the surface curvature, processing speed or orientation of the tool. This lightweight, easy to install component is a necessity for any automation project which seeks to deliver a uniform and precise level of surface finishing.

Automation of sanding applications have proven to be challenging as much of the organic movements required in completing these tasks are time consuming and difficult to program via traditional point to point methods. Additionally, the consistent application of force on any surface that isn’t completely flat adds another dimension of complexity to the process. The team at Nordbo Robotics has studied these issues and developed a system that addresses these common challenges and delivers a complete solution for automating your sanding processes. The UR+ Mimic Sanding Solution achieves this through a unique combination of technologies which when used together can be utilized by any operator regardless of their robotics experience. Most significant of these is the Mimic Sander Software which allows experienced technicians the ability to program the robot by demonstration. This is achieved through the integration of our force torque sensor based, dual handed Sander Joystick. Operators will be able to physically guide and record the movements of the robot and watch as it duplicates their actions. Also crucial is the Nordbo Active Compensation Unit, which measures and adjusts the delivered force ensuring that despite the angle, orientation or surface complexity, a consistent finish can be delivered. These innovations are all controlled and adjusted through a user-friendly interface tailored for sanding that utilizes touch screen interaction that users will find both easy to learn and easy to teach.
