Robotic axis compensation module AFD72

Passive Compliance Force Device The PushCorp AFD72 Series force device is a simple, low-cost compliant unit for many applications. Using a low friction cylinder and linear rail technology this device delivers up to 50 lb. (222 N) of force. The unit is equipped standard with an internal position sensor to monitor the location of the carriage. Fitted with a manual or electrically controlled pneumatic regulator, the AFD72 Series can make quick work of many force based applications. The AFD72 Series is available in three configurations: AFD72-1 Vertical, AFD72-2 Horizontal, and the AFD72-3 Table Top. The units are functionally identical, but differ in the orientation with which they attach to the robot wrist, or mount to a table. This allows you to optimize robot reach and dexterity for your particular application. The AFD72 Series can be equiped as either an AFD71 single acting with only positive force application, or an AFD72 double acting with positive and negative force capability. Here are just a few operations the AFD72 Series, matched with the proper process equipment, can accomplish faster, more accurately, and with greater control than ever before: Grinding (molds, weld beads) Deburring (parting lines, chamfer) Polishing (glass, wood, sheet metal) Drilling/Chamfering (thru-hole, to-depth) Weld Shaving Any other process which requires an accurate, compliant, continuously adjustable applied force.
