Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 1.3 Safety Precautions WARNING: Never operate the CDB tool without wearing eye protection. Flying debris can cause injury. Always use eye protection while working in the neighborhood of the CDB tool. CAUTION: Do not use spare parts other than original ATI spare parts except for consumables.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 2. Product Overview The Compliant Deburring Blade (CDB) is especially suited for removal of parting lines and flash from parts. The CDB’s Auto Tool Changer (ATC) allows it to be used in a wide variety of applications without human interaction. The CDB’s pneumatically controlled, articulated compliance allows the blade to follow the part profile and compensate for surface irregularities while maintaining a constant force.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 2.1 ATC Collet System The ATC’s pneumatically controlled collet system allows the tool holder to be locked and unlocked to the CDB without human interaction, once a program is in place. The ATC’s pneumatically controlled tool stand allows the tool holder to be locked and unlocked to the storage location As a result, faster tool changeovers are achievable.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 2.3.2 Compliance Unit Performance The graphs in Figure 2.3 Figure 2.4 illustrates the variation of compliance force with applied air pressure in the vertical orientation with the collet pointed toward the ground. Measurements may vary from one product to another and should only be treated as nominal. The actual force characteristics depend on mounting orientation and condition of the unit.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 3. Installation of the Compliance Device The CDB tool is delivered fully assembled. Optional equipment such as mounting plates and additional customer supplied tool holders are separate. 3.1 Transportation and Protection during Transportation The CDB tool is packaged in a case designed to secure and protect it during transportation. Always use the case when transporting the CDB tool in order to minimize the risk of damage.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 3.5 Axial Mounting Installation A blank interface plate is also available to allow axial mounting off the rear of the CDB housing. This plate may be modified by the system integrator or by the owner/user of the CDB. ATI can provide custom interface plates and adapters upon request.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 3.7 Pneumatics Connect the air lines as shown in Section 9.3—9630‑50‑CDB‑PNEUMATIC. WARNING: All pneumatic fittings and tubing must be capable of withstanding the repetitive motions of the application without failing. The routing of pneumatic lines must minimize the possibility of over stressing, pullout, or kinking the lines.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 4. Operation For assistance in programming, starting up, and complete a robotic deburring cell containing a CDB tool refer to the following section. The system integrator should be familiar with the task of deburring and have extensive knowledge about automation applications that incorporate robots.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 4.2 Normal Operation The following sections describe the normal operating conditions for CDB. 4.2.1 Air Quality The air supply should be dry, filtered, and free of oil. A coalescing filter with elements rated for 5 micron or better is required.
Manual, Compliant Deburring Blade Document #9610-50-1030-04 4.3 Programming for ATC Tool Stand The tool stand component of the ATC system uses divots in the tool holder shaft for securing the tool to the tool stand. Due to this the tool holder has to extend further out of the ATC collet. The robot program must accommodate for this clearance between the tool stand and collet.
