ATI Industrial Automation (Apex, NC) CRX-ready end-effector kits give Fanuc CRX cobot owners an easy way to add collaborative robotic (cobotic) applications. With options for automatic tool changing, force sensing, and material removal, the all-in-one packages enable tasks such as assembly, machine tending, part inspection, and surface preparation to be easily implemented easily.
In addition to the end-effector, the kit includes all hardware and software required for system connection. Within the teach pendant are simple controls to program the equipment and simplify complex tasks, and through just a few programming adjustments the end-effectors can be easily repurposed and adapted for future applications.
Kits are available for these ATI end-effectors:
- QC-7 robotic tool changing and storage solution in various configurations via pass-through utility modules and tool stand systems.
- MC-10 manual tool changer with locking mechanism and ergonomic design that includes tactile click as well as a visual indicator of lock/unlock status.
- RCV-250 radially compliant deburring tool for removing flash and parting lines and edge deburring; integrated compliance and adjustable cutting force simplify programming and enable a consistent finish.
- Motorless compliant deburring blade (CDB) for edge deburring, chamfering, countersinking, scraping and deflashing that ensures consistent results despite variation in part size, part positioning, or cobot location.
- AOV-10 axially compliant orbital sander for surface preparation and finishing.
Axia90 force/torque sensor that gives the cobot responsiveness to sense and adapt to its environment.
