Design and Operating Principle
Active compliance devices use internal closed-loop control with force, acceleration and position sensors to apply a set force in any orientation. The FCUFLEX controller sets force and monitors I/O from a PLC, robot controller or PC, and automatic acceleration compensation and payload weighing keep force constant as the robot moves over contours.
Stronger linear bearings than the AFD310 support heavier spindles and higher loads.
Integration and Selection
Mount a compatible spindle, choose orientation for reach and tune force in FCUFLEX.
Use the AFD1240 for impact or interrupted cuts.
