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.

AFD620

The AFD620 is part of PushCorp's Active Compliance series. This end effector can apply up to 115 lbf [511 N] in any orientation automatically. Consequently, this tooling is essential for automating robotic material removal applications where parts have complex or curved geometry.

The STC0612-BT40SM0612STC1015, and STC1515 are servo spindles optimized to mount to the AFD620. 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 AFD1240 is the largest in the series. It features an even more robust set of linear bearings and can apply 215 lbf [956 N].

The AFD620 Series is available in two configurations: AFD620-1 Vertical and the AFD620-2 Horizontal. The units are functionally identical, but differ in the orientation with which they attach to the robot. The AFD620-1 applies force perpendicular to the robot's face plate, whereas the AFD620-2 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.
