Abstract
Presents a robot control system dedicated for grinding and deburring robots. The control system is based on an active force feedback system using three axes force sensor attached to the robot’s end effector. This system offers new functionality in rapid programming of the robot by applying automatic programming and force supervision. The system is implemented and tested experimentally on a MultiCraft 560 robot with parallel kinematics. The experimental results show a significant reduction in the programming and set up time compared to conventional robot control systems.

Abstract
Presents a robot control system dedicated to grinding large Francis turbines. The control system is based on an active force feedback system using a three‐axes force sensor attached to the robot’s end effector. This system offers high flexibility and robustness against workpiece positioning and grinding tool wear. It provides control of the grinding process parameters ensuring high productivity in addition to good grinding performance and grinding tool economy. The system was experimentally tested out on a MultiCraft 560 grinding robot.
