SUHNER EFC-02 Electric Compliance System
Revolutionizing grinding for shops of all sizes
Exact contact force with the surface is the single most important factor in robotic grinding, sanding and deburring processes – and one of the biggest challenges. This is critical throughout the process regardless of variations in surface shape and orientation.
Suhner EFC-02 Active Compliance End Effector is fully electric. That means that by taking high frequency measurements of both force and acceleration, the Suhner EFC-02 control algorithm dynamically adjusts the force and automates grinding processes, achieving consistent, high-quality surface finishes.

Power-HUB Options
The Power-Hub provides communication ports with external devices, power supply for the EFC and power supply for the servo driven end effectors. For simple set up (example with Cobots), the EFC can work stand-alone, simply with a 48 V DC power supply and a ModBus TCP connection or webinterface.
