AFD1240

The AFD1240 is part of PushCorp's Active Compliance series. This end effector can apply up to 215 lbf [956 N] in any orientation, automatically. Consequently, this tooling is essential for automating robotic, material-removal applications where parts have complex or curved geometries.

The STC0612, SM0612, STC1015, and STC1515 are servo spindles optimized to mount to the AFD1240. For belt sanding applications, our RBS372 would also be an excellent pairing. Together, they can automate a wide variety of robotic processes:

The AFD1240 is the largest active compliance device available. It features heavy-duty linear bearings to handle applications with impact loading and interrupted cuts.

The AFD1240 Series is available in two configurations: AFD1240-1 Vertical and the AFD1240-2 Horizontal. The units are functionally identical but differ in the orientation in which they attach to the robot. The AFD1240-1 applies force perpendicular to the robot’s faceplate, whereas the AFD1240-2 is parallel. These configurations allow you to optimize a robot’s reach and dexterity for your particular application.

The FCUFLEX controller is used to set the applied force and monitor I/O. This equipment can be controlled using a PLC, robot controller, or PC.
