3.7 Pneumatics
Connect the air lines as shown in
Section 9.3—9630‑50‑CDB‑PNEUMATIC
WARNING:
All pneumatic fittings and tubing must be capable of withstanding the
repetitive motions of the application without failing. The routing of pneumatic lines must
minimize the possibility of over stressing, pullout, or kinking the lines. Failure to do
so can cause some critical pneumatic lines not to function properly and may result in
damage to equipment.
The air supply should be dry, filtered, and free of oil. A coalescing filter (ATI Part # 9150‑FFR‑90 or
equivalent) with elements rated for 5 micron or better is required.
A self‑relieving regulator (ATI Part # 9150‑P16‑B‑G, or equivalent) is used to supply the compliance
(centering) mechanism. This pressure corresponds to the side force on the blade. Because very little air flow
is required for the compliance mechanism, a smaller valve can be used (consult the valve and regulator
supplier’s literature when selecting these components).
Solenoid valves are actuated from the robot or program logic controller by means of a digital output signal.
The lock/unlock for the tool stand must a regulated air supply pressure of 4.1 bar [60 psi].
Use flexible plastic tubing for the air supply.
The compliance force, air supply pressure regulator should have a 1‑4.1 bar [15–60 psi] range. When testing
for the proper contact force, start with about 1 bar [15 psi] of pressure and increase the pressure slowly until
the desired cut is achieved.
