ATI’s line of
Axially-Compliant (AC) Deburring Tools, also known as Speedeburr TM , are a
patented family of robust, high-speed, low-weight air tools with a floating
rotary cutting burr for edge-deburring and chamfering of aluminum, plastic,
steel, etc., with a robot or CNC machine.
While spinning at high
speeds, a rotary cutting burr or file (tungsten carbide, PCD, or CBN coated
cutting burr) rides on a cushion of air that provides compliance while
maintaining a constant force. Because the rotary burr has a 45° cutting angle,
the compliance is both lateral and axial. This patented force control system
provides a very high stiffness in the path direction and a low stiffness in the
contact force direction that prevents chattering (a common problem with robotic
deburring). Due to the extremely low inertia of the cutting burr,
Axially-Compliant Deburring Tools can quickly deburr parts, greatly reducing
cycle time.
AC Deburring Tools
maintain a consistent deburring result from part-to-part. The floating head
design reacts quickly to any variances in part position or robot path. As a
result, robot programming time can be reduced by up to 75%.
