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.
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%.
