Summary:Abstract of the Disclosure Apparatus, System, and Method for Performing Automated Finishing Operations on a Workpiece A finishing apparatus (10, 100) for performing an automated finishing operation on a surface (132, 162) of a workpiece (134, 164) is disclosed. The finishing apparatus includes a platen (12, 102) fabricated from a magnetic material and having a platen surface (22, 108), and a finishing module (18, 20) disposed on the platen surface and having a finishing operation end effector (36, 82). The finishing module generates a magnetic field that biases the finishing module toward the platen, and is operable to generate a magnetic flux to control movement of the finishing module over the platen surface to perform the automated finishing operation on the surface of the workpiece. o o 0 0 o o 10 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 12 o0000 0 0 0 0000o00000 o 120 o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 o0~~~°°~~~ 12200 o~°°°°°°°o°o°o°o °0°°°°0°°0°0°°o°°o°°o°° o 0~~~oooooo °o0 0o o 0 0o 0o0ooo o 0o0o000000000o0o0o0o0o0o000°o0o0ooo0o1o2 °o000000o°18000°00° oooooo o z ° °o0o0o0000oo0ooo °oooo °0oooo 0 ox:,°o 0 ooooooooo 0 0 0 ° °ooo 0 °o o o o o o o o o o o 0oo ooooooo °°0~ o°°o°o0o0oo0o°°°°o°° 0 o°o0o0o°o°°o 0o0 0 0 o° 12 °o0 o o o0 0 o o 0 o o 0 0 0 o 00 o o o° °0 0 o 0 o 0 o0 oo0 o 0 o0 0o 0 o 0 o0 0o0 07°4 0 o 0 o 0 0 °o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 0o0o0o° 0~~~ccc o a o o o o 000 00 2,00 0~ ~~°~~° ° °o° z 00 ,000 11000 00 0 00 00 0 0 0 0 ) 00 00 0/:,0 00 00 00 06 z0000 1020000 040 000000 0 0 0 000 0000 0000 0 0 0, 0 00000 0 0 0 00 08 0c ,,00000000000000018000 104 0000000 2
