In Booth B-29074, the versatile Compliant Deburring Blade (CDB) from ATI Industrial Automation, Inc. (Apex, NC) is a patent-pending deburring tool that offers users a way to easily automate manual material removal jobs. It excels in light and medium deburring, chamfering, and scraping operations on materials such as plastic, aluminum, steel, and brass. Its pneumatically-controlled, articulated design gives users the ability to tune the contact force to accommodate specific applications by changing the air pressure. The durable collet interface accepts a variety of readily available blades and media used with hand deburring tools. The CDB’s axial and radial compliance is ideal for maintaining constant force where surface irregularities are present. Integrating the CBD in a robotic material removal application not only reduces robotic programming time, but also makes the programming process more straightforward. Its simple mechanical design – without any high-speed moving parts – makes this tool an ideal system for collaborative processes:

  • No motor noise helps to reduce ambient noise in the work environment.
  • Operators can easily switch between full radial and single-axis compliance.
  • Floating radial and axial compliance allow fast and easy programming of the robot.
  • Inherent movement of the blade compensates for inconsistent part tolerances, part misalignment, and robot path variation.
