2. Product Overview
The Compliant Deburring Blade (CDB) is especially suited for removal of parting lines and flash from parts. The
CDB’s Auto Tool Changer (ATC) allows it to be used in a wide variety of applications without human interaction.
The CDB’s pneumatically controlled, articulated compliance allows the blade to follow the part profile and
compensate for surface irregularities while maintaining a constant force. As a result, high feed rates with uniform
quality in any orientation is achievable. The tool requires no oil.
When the customer supplies air pressure to the compliance air fitting, the tool activates a compliance feature (or
complies) for consistent deburring on irregular part patterns. The CDB utilizes standard industrial blades that allow
for adaptation to changing assembly lines and part requirements.
Axially mount the CDB tool to the customer robot. The customer can mount the tapered flange of the CDB to
an interface plate that adapts to a robot. The customer can purchase custom interface plates from ATI (refer to
Section 3.5—Axial Mounting Installation
The CDB can be manually locked to single axis compliance using the single axis lockout (refer to
