Robotic Accessories Has Developed a Variably-Compliant End-of-Arm Device for Burr Removal, Finishing, and Polishing Operations on Metals, Plastics, and Other Materials
Robotic Accessories has developed a variably-compliant end-of-arm device for burr removal, finishing, and polishing operations on metals, plastics, and other materials. Featuring a powerful 0.88 horsepower, extremely quiet air motor, this unit has the power needed for challenging finishing applications. The robot program can continuously vary the compliance force applied to the workpiece by changing the air pressure to the tool’s compliance unit, allowing for changes in application characteristics without human intervention. One unique feature of this device is that it is compliant in all three dimensions (x, y, and z), instead of in just one dimension. Simple and lightweight in design, it uses standard ” bits, and does not require lubricated shop air.
