The invention relates to a rotary
body surface robot grinding and
polishing device and method. According to the rotary
body surface robot grinding and
polishing device and method, a
robot is used as an actuating mechanism to implement
grinding. The device comprises the robot,
softening devices, rotary pneumatic fixtures, a horizontal grinding
machine and claw exchange devices. The grinding methodcomprises the following steps that S1, the robot grabs one ends of rotary bodies (workpieces) through the rotary pneumatic fixtures; S2, the robot are attached to the horizontal grinding
machine according to the surface shapes of the rotary bodies, the rotary pneumatic fixtures rotate to conduct grinding on the surfaces of the rotary bodies, the grinding
contact force is controlled through the
softening devices, and position errors of the robot are compensated for; S3, the robot places the rotary bodies on the claw exchange devices, and the other ends of the rotary bodies are clamped through the rotary pneumatic fixtures after the claw exchange devices are turned over; and S4, the step S2 is repeated, and the remaining areas of the rotary bodies are subjected to grinding. The rotary body grinding method provided by the invention is simple, practical and applicable to
surface grinding of rotary bodies such as
metal cups, cylindrical containers and tube segments.
