Function
Using adjustment screws, the properties of the product can be optimally adapted to your application in a very short time. The
flat structure reduces the moment load for the robot to a minimum and makes it possible to use smaller and more affordable
installation sizes. Depending on requirements, the compensation module can be positioned and fixed centrally or off-center.
Depending on requirements, you can either clamp or centrally lock the module. This is an aid for an optimal process.
