Automated Material Removal remains a new frontier for the automation and robotics industries. There are more potential opportunities than can be counted, which is very exciting for an innovative robotic accessory manufacturer like ATI Industrial Automation. ATI’s Material Removal Product team has had a breakthrough year so far as they continue to design innovative solutions to serve this growing market.
Recently, ATI has updated the versatile Compliant Deburring Blade (CDB) with an option for Automatic Blade Changing. Taking inspiration from the company’s renowned Robotic Tool Changer, this option integrates a custom-designed blade changing collet, and robust tool stand for storage of additional blades.
For those looking to automate manual deburring methods, the CDB offers flexibility and reliability that is fast and easy to integrate. It performs light and medium deburring, chamfering, and scraping operations on materials such as plastic, aluminum, steel, and brass. The CDB’s axial and radial compliance is ideal for maintaining constant force where surface irregularities are present, ensuring the highest quality results.
