MANUAL SURFACE FINISHING OF COMPLEX SHAPED PARTS SUCH AS TURBINE BLADES, WING SKINS, LANDING GEAR STRUTS, AND FORMING TOOLS IS LABOR-INTENSIVE. THE DIRECT COST OF SURFACE FINISHING THESE PARTS TYPICALLY RANGES FROM 10% TO 25% OF THE TOTAL MANUFACTURING COST. THROUGH TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES MADE AT THE AUTOMATION AND ROBOTICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, ROBOTIC REMOVAL OF SCALLOPS AND MACHINE TOOL MISMATCH ON CONTOURED PARTS IS POSSIBLE AND PRACTICAL. THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACTIVELY CONTROLLED CONSTANT FORCE END-EFFECTOR FOR GRINDING MOTORS HAS RESULTED IN A VERY ROBUST AND CONTROLLABLE MATERIAL REMOVAL PROCESS.
