Flexiv’s Expert on Material Abrasion, Ran Xu, to Deliver Keynote Speech at A3 Robotic Grinding & Finishing Conference
Flexiv's adaptive automation technology will take center stage at the A3 Robotic Grinding & Finishing Conference.
SAN JOSE, CA, July 20th, 2023 - Flexiv, a global leader in general-purpose robotics solutions, is excited to announce that Ran Xu, the company's leading specialist in material abrasion algorithm development, will be delivering a keynote speech at the A3 Robotic Grinding & Finishing Conference held from July 25-26 at the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Jeff Burnstein, the President of A3, highlighted the importance of the conference, stating:
"The automation of grinding and finishing tasks continues to grow in popularity as companies struggle to find and retain skilled employees to do the work. Once they decide to automate, companies discover how increasingly easy and cost-effective these solutions can be to deploy."
Over the two-day event, attendees will get a comprehensive look at the factors, technologies, and processes that yield success in grinding and finishing, with real-world implementation stories being spotlighted during the conference sessions and expo hall.
Ran Xu, who will be presenting the "Benefits of Using Torque-Controlled Robots for Grinding" on July the 25th at 4:00 PM, stated:
"Historically, automating material abrasion processes like sanding and polishing was challenging, but introducing our force control technology has been a game-changer. I'm excited to share how our technology can enhance manufacturing by boosting efficiency and minimizing wastage. Our mission is to create a manufacturing environment that is safer and healthier for workers and more cost-efficient for businesses."
In addition to providing valuable information and networking opportunities, conference attendees can pose their own questions to experts during an optional tour of two of 3 M's leading innovation centers in St. Paul: the Innovation Center and CAM Center Robot Lab.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
