Abstract

A method for removing a flaw on a treated, finally painted surface by grinding involves, after the flaw has been detected, moving a flexible abrasive sheet to the surface and pressing it against the flaw to be machined in such a way that the flaw is detected by a sensor system, which is operatively connected to a robotic arm carrying the grinding plate. The abrasive sheet, which is designed as an abrasive belt, is fed to the grinding plate and the abrasive sheet being pressed against the flaw.
