    摘要: An apparatus for surface finishing includes a robot and an end effector. The end effector includes a compliance wrist having an axis of movement and coupled to the robot and a grinder tool coupled to the compliance wrist. The robot is configured to controllably position the end effector in three-dimensional space. The compliance wrist is configured to bias the grinder tool to a biased position relative to the robot and enable the grinder tool to move relative to the robot in response to an external force acting upon the grinder tool.

    摘要: An apparatus for surface finishing a flange surface of a flange of a pipe includes a frame assembly, a drive assembly coupled to the frame assembly, and a bracket assembly coupled to the frame assembly. The flange is clamped between the frame assembly and the drive assembly. The drive assembly circumferentially translates the apparatus around the pipe. A power tool is coupled to the bracket assembly to perform the surface finishing operation on the flange surface of the flange.
