Technical data Axial contact force, measured with rotary burr pointing downwards Each FDB-AC goes through a thorough test procedure before it is shipped. In the figure are theoretical and measured forces relative to applied axial air pressure. Please note that theoretical calculations are not necessarily identical to actual data.
• Mounted to robot by means of the Speedeburr adapter and flange. The flange is specific to each type of robot. This flange not supplied by SCHUNK . • Mounted to a table or stand by means of the Speedeburr adapter (the robot is carrying the workpiece).
If there is damage to any of the packaging, or if any of the goods have been exposed to abnormal handling, unpack those parts that may have been damaged for a closer inspection. If necessary, notify SCHUNK for assistance in evaluation of the product condition. 4.2 Unpacking and Handling The FDB-AC tool, during transportation, storing and handling, should always be placed inside the accompanying box (crate).

Handling, Installation, Storage and Transportation Conventional pneumatic components (not supplied with the FDB- AC tool) are used to control the air supply to the FDB-AC. SCHUNK recommends that the user install a pneumatic pressure regulator in order to achieve a stable air supply and to reduce the air supply to the maximum of 90 psi.
Page 20
Handling, Installation, Storage and Transportation The axial force air supply pressure regulator should have a 0–45 psi range. When testing for the proper contact force start with a very low pressure and increase slowly until the desired chamfer is achieved (typically 3 psi for aluminum and more for steel workpieces).

Handling, Installation, Storage and Transportation an interface plate. The interface plate is manufactured either by the robot supplier, the FDB-AC supplier, the system integrator, or by the owner/user of the FDB-AC. The FDB-AC, with the Speedeburr adapter, may be mounted to a table or stand using an interface plate or directly using the Speedeburr pneumatic adapter.
Operating Instructions 5 Operating Instructions These operating instructions are intended to help system integrators program, start up and complete a robotic deburring cell containing a FDB-AC deburring tool. The system integrator should be familiar with the task of deburring in general and should have extensive knowledge relating to robots and automation incorporating robots.
Operating Instructions 5.1 General Precautions WARNING Neglecting safety precautions can create hazardous situations, In the worst case, personnel can be injured or the deburring installation and the FDB-AC can be damaged. It is important that all personnel involved in operation of the •...
Operating Instructions 5.2 FDB-AC Working Environment As described in previous sections, the FDB-AC 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.

Operating Instructions 5.4 Operational Considerations To obtain best results, it is important for the Compensation piston to be running with low friction in the cylinder. General Precautions 24] The FDB-AC should not be statically mounted with the cutting tip up. This will increase the amount of debris entering the cylinder and cause premature wear of the cylinder and piston, possibly preventing the piston from floating altogether.
Operating Instructions 5.5 Programming The FDB-AC must never be running while programming the robot. There are various techniques that may be used to program the robot path. In any case, the burr should be nominally at the mid- point of its stroke while deburring the part. It will move up and down with part and path variation.

Operating Instructions Addition FDB-AC 90: To change the drive speed, adjust the main supply pressure. The greater the pressure, the greater the speed and vice versa. It is also possible to adjust the speed by using a small flat-blade screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw on the side of the 90- degree bracket User Serviceable parts FDB-AC 90 32] and...
Maintenance 6 Maintenance 6.1 Regular Operational Maintenance To obtain best results, it is important for the piston to be running with low friction in the cylinder. This should be checked at regular intervals. Some debris will always enter the cylinder and regular cleaning is recommended. The FDB-AC should not be operated for extensive periods of time with the cutting tip pointing up.

Maintenance CAUTION The FDB-AC should not be operated for extensive periods of time with the cutting tip pointing up. This orientation will increase the amount of debris entering the cylinder and cause premature wear of the cylinder and piston, possibly preventing the piston from floating altogether.
Maintenance 6.3 Lubrication Before start-up, be sure a lubricator is installed as described in the pneumatic diagram Drawings Make sure the air lubrication system is filled with oil. Use oil similar to machine oil #10, spindle oil #60, Shell/Exxon ATF DEXRON II automatic transmission oil, or similar.
If a burr with an imbalance is used, the Compensation piston may also stop rotating. All burrs are checked for imbalance before they are shipped. Only original SCHUNK burrs should be used. 02.00 | FDB-AC | Assembly and Operating Manual | en | 389513...
In this case these parts may also need to be replaced Regular Operational Maintenance 31]. Only original spare parts supplied by SCHUNK should be used. 6.6 Overhaul As described in previous sections of this User Manual, the motor unit and Compensation piston should be inspected and overhauled at regular intervals.
Drawings 7.2 FDB-AC 180 The Compensation piston is an important part of the Straight FDB- AC. The Compensation piston is pushed forward into contact with the burr edge by use of a remotely controlled air pressure. The air vane motor is decoupled from the linear movement of the Compensation piston, to reduce inertia and increase the stability of the contact force when deburring.
