The highest precision and quality are essential in aviation. Both aircraft manufacturers and the supplier industry rely on the reliable contact-sensitive solutions of Active Compliant Technology in production. The industry relies on products from FerRobotics, particularly for grinding processes and polishing work, as they guarantee the required consistently high quality while at the same time increasing productivity and documenting the process seamlessly. You reduce the consumption of abrasives, energy and personnel. From production to maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of aircraft, FerRobotics solutions for grinding, paint stripping, cleaning as well as for supporting quality checks such as ultrasonic measurement in action.
Typical parts and application areas of surface treatment:
- Fuselage
- Wings, tail units and rudders, spoilers, flaps, slats, winglets
- Leading edge areas
- Engine parts (engine cowling, air intake, fan blades and turbine blades)
- Various structural parts
- Sandwich elements / honeycomb elements
- Interior parts such as seat frames
- Acrylic glass windows, panes, canopy

Belt sander with active force control for sensitive surface operations – FerRobotics
Together with AV&R, a specialist for automated surface finishing processes in the field of turbine engine manufacturing, we helped to optimize the sanding process of high-tech blades. This Video shows our advanced compliant belt sander, powered by FerRobotics Active Compliant Technology®, with a response time perfectly matched to this application.
Manufacturing of complex contours
The ACF increases the productivity immense with an optimal yield of good parts. The ACT-robotized finishing reduces processing steps and increases process reliability. The Active Compliant Technology guarantees a fully-automatic handling of this precision work, which up to now could only be performed by a few experienced specialists.

Automated canopy sanding with ACF-K by FerRobotics (acrylic glass) 2021
Advanced refurbishment like transparency sanding and finishing is a job for experts. Slightest distortions are not acceptable for customers. To slow off a process causes heat and therefore material changes. There also might be many different processes which often can‘t be changed. FerRobotics tools with real force control are flexible and can adapt to everything – just better than the human hand! Rely on the best to correct the pilot’s view of the outside world.
Rapid contacting of surfaces
This polishing process demonstrates that surfaces can be contacted rapidly and reliably with the ACF. Special functions prevent the formation of grinding marks. This significantly shortens cycle times and the process becomes precisely reproducible and seamlessly controllable. Uniform 24/7 processing ensures a constant level of quality.

Fully-automated quality control of keys
Through the feedback of the ACF via the force-path detection, force curve and trigger point of the key are documented. The test simulates manual operator behavior. With the active contact flange, the process is automated and quality control is integrated into the existing process without major time and effort.
