Demand of customer for higher quality of product is increasing. Number of skilled engineers, however, is chronically lacking in worldwide. Thus, the change of environment of production drives robotization of hand-finishing process recently. This study is about Robotization of deburring by means of a hand grinder, which is one of the hand finishing tools. Basically, in robotization of the hand-finishing process, teaching operation is selected for the programming of the tool path of the robotic arm. In this study, however, a vertically articulated robot equipped with various sensors is developed for the robotic deburring system, the feasibility of fully automated robotic deburring by using hand grinder is investigated.

New technology that enables to re-generate grinding tooi on the rnachine which is utilized for a machining process without any tool exchange has been developed in this paper. The technology can provide resinoid and vitrified bonded abrasive tools on a mandrel. Rapid heating furnace is utilized for attaching and detaching the abrasive layer to the mandrel. The devegoped process can produce and keep grinding performance ofa mounted grinding point, and also it can re-generate the resinoid and vitrified al)rasive layer with in 30 min,
