Hi, I bought a KUKA KR90 robot that only worked for a few hours in the showroom. But I was surprised by the quality of machining of cast parts on the robot. Is it really possible that the parts are machined with a hand grinder after casting?

casting produces parts that need further finishing. important features are machined to required tolerances. not important features are not important... that may be slight artefacts or irregularities on the surface which do not affect performance. not sure how such surfaces are treated. it is possible that they are just cleaned with powered wire brush or similar to remove sharp points....

Yes.
