Abstract
In this study, a fully automatic electrochemical disc electrode polishing robot was designed and verified. The aim was to improve the efficiency and consistency of electrode polishing in electrochemical experiments. Through mechanical design, 3D modeling, intelligent control, and parameter optimization, the electrode surface state was restored. This system uses the CoreXY motion structure and self-designed polishing and rinsing modules, controlled by an ESP32 single-chip microcomputer. After optimizing factors like polishing powder size, pressure, revolutions, speed, and polishing cloth, optimal conditions were determined. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests on various electrodes verified the robot’s applicability and reliability. The results showed that the polishing robot’s performance could match or exceed traditional manual polishing, laying a foundation for electrochemical experiment automation.
