This paper presents a case study on the use robotic polishing used to polish co-extrusion dies using an active force control sensor. A system to test samples was setup using an ABB IRB 140 robot and an active force torque controller. A series of test samples was tested by the system using different force loads of 30N, 40N and 50N to determine the optimal force load required for the polishing process. Once the optimal force level and tool parameters were determined the polishing was carried out on the co-extrusion die. The results of the experimentation process are presented.
