ARC Specialties teamed with ABB's Automation Laboratory at ABB Automation & Power World this year to display the latest advances in 6-Axis Force Feedback Control. Possible applications include haptics, polishing, deflashing, and assembly. ARC Specialties has already gained experience integrating force feedback control with a 2009 project that utilized a robot equipped with force feedback for precision grinding.
ABB has granted ARC Specialties the use of an ABB robot with force feedback control to conduct more developmental experiments in ARC Specialties' R&D lab for the next 6 months. ARC Specialties is an ABB preferred systems integrator and has worked with ABB for many years now.
