Pneumatic, axial compensation unit for flexible adjustment of compensation or contact forces
The compensation unit is operated by a double-acting pneumatic cylinder and has axial flexibility. The compensation force is set via the applied operating pressure and can therefore also be adjusted dynamically. The contact force can be controlled separately in two directions (retracting and extending) via two air connections. Depending on the piston configuration, a variable contact force can be achieved. Due to the integrated stroke measuring system, the position of the compensation unit is confirmed via an analog signal and can be used for further process control. The built-in gyro sensor can be used to keep the compensation force constant regardless of the position.
Advantages – Your benefits
- Compensation can be adjusted by means of a double-action pneumatic cylinder
for a constant contact force - Integrated path-measuring system
for monitoring and control of the process - Integrated weight force compensation
for constant pressure forces independent of the orientation of the tool, especially in robot-guided applications - Flexibility in axial direction
for a simplified robot programming - Simple extension of the force range
by adjusting the piston configuration - Versatile in use
due to the option of screwing customer tools onto the adapter plate or into a through-bore - Compact design
for minimum installation height
