PushCorp, Inc. Product
Member Since 2018
Since 1993 PushCorp has specialized in material removal equipment. As inventors of the force compliance device, we have supplied tools to automate thousands of robotic processes across the globe. Innovation is in our DNA and it’s why we are constantly evolving, creating, and adding new surface finishing products to our portfolio each year. Whether you are a manufacturer or a robotic systems integrator, we have the tooling to help automate your manual surface finishing process. At our core, there has always been an emphasis on quality and durability across PushCorp's entire product line. Being heavily involved in the automotive and aerospace industry, our customers expect a product that can last years with continuous trouble-free use. To ensure this quality is met, we manufacture and assemble as many products in-house as possible. To this end, 95% of all our components are machined in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas.

ACTIVE ROBOTIC FORCE COMPLIANCE DEVICE
Active Technology
Automated Active Compliant Tools utilize internal closed-loop, feedback control along with internal force, acceleration and position sensors to accurately apply the desired force to the your part. Accurate force is maintained over contours, in any orientation. Just tell it what force you want and an Active tool will apply it up, down, sideways or any orientation in between.
AFD310
The AFD310 is part of PushCorp's Active Compliance series. This end effector can apply up to 60 lbf [267 N] in any orientation automatically. Consequently, this tooling is essential for automating robotic material removal applications where parts have complex or curved geometry.
The STC1503-BT30, SM1503, STC0605-BT30, and SM0605 are servo spindles optimized to mount to the AFD310. Together, they can automate a wide variety of robotic processes:
If the application will have impact loading, interrupted cuts, or require a heavier spindle our AFD620 is the second largest in the series. It features a more robust set of linear bearings and can apply 115 lbf [511 N].
The AFD310 Series is available in two configurations: AFD310-1 Vertical and the AFD310-2 Horizontal. The units are functionally identical, but differ in the orientation with which they attach to the robot. The AFD310-1 applies force perpendicular to the robot's face plate, whereas the AFD310-2 is parallel. These configurations allow you to optimize robot reach and dexterity for your particular application.
The FCUFLEX controller is used to set the applied force and monitor I/O. This equipment can be controlled using a PLC, robot controller, or PC.
