“…This foam has been characterized in order to know the pressure made by the foam in function of the layer compression (deformation). This is a simple way to control pressure, different from other investigation trials that uses a force control device between robot and tool [4] The morphology of the finishing tool has been described and developed during previous research [5], and the main characteristic is that is a multilayer tool, with a abrasive layer, a pressure regulating layer and a rigid layer.…”

Finishing process (Grinding and Polishing), is still manually performed, specially in free form surface parts. This involves a series of remaining problems, mainly related with the geometrical shape of the finished part. In traditional manually finishing task, the final quality aspect of the part is the only parameter to be controlled. This supposes a lack in the quality parameter control, mainly in high level parts, as in automotive, aeronautics or mould making parts. Manual finishing has not any control about the amount of material removed, during finishing process, affecting this way to the final geometrical shape of the product. This is the reason why this investigation proposes an exhaustive research of the parameter influencing the finishing tasks, and defining a finishing methodology adapted for an automatic process executed by a spherical robot. Making it an automatic way, and controlling paths, tool, abrasive, and defining a mathematical model for the finishing process, final quality of the part and product will be optimized, from a quality point of view, at the same time process time and cost is reduced.
