The AOV-10 Axially-Compliant Orbital Sander is the ideal robotic solution for surface preparation and finishing. With built-in compliance, the AOV-10 is well-suited for many different robotic application types—even those that require a light touch.
|
A pneumatically-actuated compliance mechanism allows for dynamic control of contact forces and ensures an ideal result every time. The compliance force is adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of applications. Double-acting motion offsets the weight of the tool to produce the desired finish no matter how it is oriented. Users can mount the AOV-10 directly to their robot or to a fixture, in any orientation, including upside-down. The design is compact and lightweight which suits a range of UR cobot models.
|
Manual material removal jobs, often labeled as dull, dirty, and dangerous, need responsiveness to ensure consistent results. ATI’s Axially-Compliant Orbital Sander provides a direct replacement for manual surface preparation and finishing techniques; high quality results without the safety hazards or compromised labor.
|
Automation with a robot and an AOV-10 end-effector not only keeps employees away from undesirable conditions, but also overcomes process variation due to part misalignment, part geometry inconsistency, or robot path deviations. This makes programming easier, increases the overall quality of the process, and ultimately drives costs down.
|
ATI’s robotic sander is optimized for 3M abrasives and includes a media kit, allowing many users to easily implement robotic sanding processes. The AOV Sander is the perfect platform for 3M’s wide range of abrasive products; together they enable users to successfully automate a variety of manual surface preparation and finishing tasks on many types of materials. Robotic sanding and surface treatment with ATI’s AOV-10 and 3M media ensures consistent processing using curated media while keeping workers safe and reducing some uncertainties associated with a new automation project.
|
The Certified UR+ Kit (part number: 9150-UR-AOV-01) is compatible with any UR and URe series robots and includes AOV-10 Sander, 3M media kit, air supply kit, interface plate, mounting hardware, assembly tool, and URCap software.
|
ATI continues to expand its family of Compliant Material Removal products with a diverse collection of application-specific tools. Solutions for robotic grinding, passive compliant force control, and hands-free media changeover will be released later this year.
