AFD310 Active Compliance Robotic Arm Attachment by PushCorp

AFD Active Compliance Robotic Arm Attachment

AFD310

The AFD310 is part of PushCorp's Active Compliance series. This end effector can apply up to 60 lbf [267 N] in any orientation, automatically. Consequently, this tooling is essential for automating robotic, material-removal applications where parts have complex or curved geometries.

The STC1503-BT30, SM1503, STC0605-BT30, and SM0605 are servo spindles optimized to mount to the AFD310. Together, they can automate a wide variety of robotic processes:

If the application will have impact loading, interrupted cuts, or require a heavier spindle, our AFD620 is the second largest in the series. It features a more robust set of linear bearings and can apply 115 lbf [511 N].

The AFD310 Series is available in two configurations: AFD310-1 Vertical and the AFD310-2 Horizontal. The units are functionally identical but differ in the orientation in which they attach to the robot. The AFD310-1 applies force perpendicular to the robot’s face plate, whereas the AFD310-2 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.

You can see the AFD310 in action on several of our YouTube Videos, including the Weld Spatter Removal Application on this video.
