Page 6: General Overview
The AFD1200 utilize a pneumatic actuator to provide the force and a load cell force sensor to provide closed-loop feedback to an FCU1000 Active Compliance Controller. The AFD1200 can apply up to a maximum 250 lbs. (1112 N) of force. The AFD contains an accelerometer that monitors orientation and allows the unit to automatically compensate for gravitational and inertial effects. -
Page 7: Installation
If the Carriage becomes loose or binds after installing the process equipment, then the brackets must be removed and the problem corrected. PushCorp, Inc. can design and fabricate brackets to user supplied specifications as an option. -
Page 8: Mounting The Afd1200
Adapter plates or "quick-change" attachments can be used as well for mounting. The AFD1200-2 is supplied with a standard Mounting Bracket with a 90 mm three hole mounting pattern, See Figure 2. All three holes should be utilized to secure the Mounting Bracket to the robot mounting flange. -

Figure 2. Mounting Bracket allowed hole locations. 4.3 Maximum Carriage Load Calculations The Linear Rail bearings that support the AFD1200 sliding Carriage have been selected to provide optimal performance with respect to capacity, size, and low friction. ensure continued optimal performance it is very important not to overload these bearings. - Page 10 AFD1200 Manual ORP,...

Page 11: Pneumatic Connection
AFD remains clear of foreign matter. An auxiliary Purge Port on the AFD1200 (See Figure 4.) provides a pneumatic connection to supply this additional air flow. The port accepts a metric R 1/8 tapered pneumatic fitting. - Page 12 2 SCFM (56 l/min) must be installed. NOTE: PushCorp highly recommends the use of flexible polyurethane tubing as opposed to nylon tubing. This is because nylon tubing tends to crimp shut when it is bent.

Tighten the Cartridge Filter Holder to a torque of 90 lb-in. (10 N-m). 5.0 Adjusting Carriage Preload The required preload on the AFD1200 Linear Rails has been set at the factory for optimal performance and, in general, should not require field adjustment. However, there are situations that could arise that cause the Linear Rails to need adjustment. - Page 14 AFD1200 Manual ORP, Figure 5. Carriage preload adjustment The Linear Rails are attached to the underside of the Carriage with (6) six M10x1.5 Socket Head Cap Screws. Located on the side of the Carriage are the two Preload Adjustment Set Screws used to translate the Movable Linear Rail. Moving the Linear Rail associated with the Preload Adjustment Set Screws is all that is necessary to adjust the Carriage preload.
- Page 15 AFD1200 Manual ORP, 2. To preload the Carriage Linear Rails, loosen the Movable Linear Rail M10x1.5 Socket Head Cap Screws holding the Movable Linear Rail only enough to allow the rail to move relative to the inside Carriage surface. The Carriage has slotted holes on the Movable Linear Rail side which allow the rail to move in the same direction as the Preload Adjustment Set Screws.
