1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to manipulators, and more particularly, to a manipulator for de-burring and a polishing mechanism of the manipulator.
2. Description of Related Art
Burrs on metallic workpieces produced by fabrication processes are typically removed manually. An operator polishes the metallic workpiece with a sandpaper to remove the burrs. However, such de-burring polishing process is labor-consuming, the work efficiency is relatively low and the workpiece may be fractured easily during the polishing process.
Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
