Manual, Robotic Deburring Tool, RCV‑490 Series Document #9610‑50‑1032‑06 4.3 Deburring Tool Working Environment As described in previous sections, the RCV‑490 should only be used in conjunction with a robot in a secured work cell/chamber. The work cell must be secured by means of barriers to prohibit personnel from entering the cell. A lockable door should be included as a part of the barrier in order to facilitate access to the cell for authorized personnel only.

Manual, Robotic Deburring Tool, RCV‑490 Series Document #9610‑50‑1032‑06 Another programming method is to teach the path using the centerline of the bur as a guide, following the edge of the part, and then manually or automatically adding offsets to the robot path points to achieve the final correct bur path (Figure 4.2).
Manual, Robotic Deburring Tool, RCV‑490 Series Document #9610‑50‑1032‑06 4.5 Bur Operation and Bur Selection The RCV‑490 will perform best in climb milling (when the bur directions of travel and rotation are the same). In the case of the RCV‑490, the bur rotation is clockwise when viewed from above. Climb milling would therefore involve clockwise motion around the part being deburred.
