Resumen
In this paper, it is presented an integration between a finishing device and a collaborative robot in order to automate the sandingprocess of a ceramic industry in Portugal. The finishing device and thecollaborative robot are described as well as the communication betweenthe devices. It was used a computer responsible for decision making andcontrol of all the system. The system was able to control the positionof the finishing device according to the force done in the sponge by theceramic. The final system behavior was presented and discussed, whichwas satisfactory and performed well. The presented experimental setupis not intended for industrial use, but it is suitable for concept prove, inlaboratory. The outputs that will emerge here will be applied in a futureindustrial application, with requisites compatible with the applicationenvironment, regarding robustness and repeatability.
