AC Finishing Tool Features

1. Reliable vane motor: Robust vane-type air motor with gear reduction designed with rugged components provides long service with exceptional power.

2. High-torque performance: Vane motors increase their torque in response to loads introduced in finishing.

3. Floating axial compliance: Remotely-adjusted air pressure controls and maintains the constant axial force on the floating spindle. The axially-compliant motion of the spindle allows the customer's tool to compensate for deviations in the part profile along the robot path, compensate for tool wear, and provide constant contact force with the workpiece.

4. Mounting options: The VersaFinish is provided with a mounting pattern on the side of its housing. Adapter plates may easily be customized for robotic, bench, or fixture mounting

5. Simple Tool Holder: The VersaFinish is supplied with a simple key-actuated 3/8”chuck for holding common media. The spindle is threaded to allow replacement of the chuck with customer-supplied or custom-manufactured media holders. The VershFinish motor has an industry standard 3/8-24 right-hand spindle thread.  The supplied drill chuck can be removed to attach any number of chucks, collets or custom tooling.

6. Easy teaching: The axial motion of the spindle allows fast and simple programming of the robot. This movement also compensates for changes in part tolerances, part misalignment, tool wear, and robot path variation.

7. Optional Sensors: To assist in process development or monitoring, the VersaFinish may be ordered with optional sensors to detect the spindle speed and forward or retracted positions. All units are supplied with a Forward (-F) sensor to detect when the media is in contact with the work piece. Two other options are available:

• R = Retract Sensor (spindle pushed fully back)
  
• T = Tachometer Sensor (rotational speed of the spindle)
