2.3.2 Pneumatics
Connect the RC deburring tool as shown in Figure 2.3.
Figure 2.3—Pneumatic Connections
The air supply should be dry, filtered, and free of oil. A coalescing filter with elements
rated for 5 micron or better is required.
A high-flow air pressure control regulator is required to supply the spindle motor at 6.2-
6.5 bar [90-95 psi]. A second, precision, self-relieving regulator will supply air for the
compliance or centering force.
The compliance force is applied radially and is adjusted until the desired cut is made.
The robot traversing speed will also be adjusted to achieve the desired finish.
Conventional, customer-supplied, pneumatic components are used to control the air
supply to the deburring tool. ATI recommends that the user install a high-flow
pneumatic pressure regulator and a high-flow valve to properly supply a stable air
supply of 6.2-6.5 bar [90-95 psi] to the spindle motor. (ATI Part #9150-FFR-90, or
equivalent. See Section 3.2 for the maximum flow requirements). The RC deburring
tool will not operate properly if supplied air below 6.2 bar.
A second, precision, self-relieving regulator and valve are used to supply the
compliance (centering) mechanism. This pressure corresponds to the side force on the
rotary burr. Very little airflow is required for the compliance mechanism (ATI Part #
9150-PPR-60, or equivalent). This allows a significantly smaller valve to be used.
CAUTION:
Pneumatic components used for the motor drive circuit must be capable of
meeting the air consumption requirements (See Technical Specifications, Section 3.2).
Poor performance will result if the correct components are not used.
