Radial Compliance vs. Axial Compliance:
Which Deburring Tool best fits my application?
Radially-Compliant (RC) Deburring Tools use a turbine motor which
requires filtered, dry air. Standard industrial burrs may be used.
Axially-Compliant (AC) Deburring Tools use a vane-type motor which
requires filtered, lubricated air to operate properly. Use of non-lubricated air
will result in motor failure. This design also utilizes specially designed burrs
only available from ATI.
Edge deburring in tough-to-reach areas?
Radially-Compliant Deburring Tools, in many cases, can reach deeper and into
more confined areas than the AC units. The design allows for a greater range of
access points for robot programming.
Removing Parting Lines or Flash?
Radially-Compliant Deburring Tools are the only models designed to remove parting
lines and flash.
Edge deburring or chamfering?
Axially-Compliant Deburring Tools are faster and preferred over the RC units
for edge deburring.
