AFD62 End Effector (EOAT)
The AFD62 is part of PushCorp’s Passive Compliance series. This end effector can apply up to 27 lbf [120 N] in any orientation. Unlike the active series, this equipment relies on an external air pressure regulator to set the applied force. This pressure must change when a new orientation is programmed in order to maintain a constant force. For this reason, the AFD62 is most commonly used for robotic, material-removal applications with flat or prismatic parts.
High speed spindles can be mounted to the AFD62. Together, they can automate a wide variety of light-duty, robotic processes:
If the application requires a heavier spindle, our AFD72 is the third largest in the series. It can apply up to 60 lbf [267 N] and features a more robust set of linear bearings.
The AFD62 Series is available in two configurations: AFD62-1 Vertical and the AFD62-2 Horizontal. The units are functionally identical but differ in the orientation in which they attach to the robot's wrist. This allows you to optimize a robot’s reach and dexterity for your particular application.
