2.3  Technical description

The technical overview of the product is provided in the following tables and graphs. For additional 

technical specifications, refer to 

Section 8—

Specifications

Installation 
position

Mounted to robot using the side mounting pattern 

or rear adapter flange. Refer to 

Section 3.5—Side 

Mounting Installation

 and 

Section 3.6—Axial Mounting 

Installation

. The flange is specific to each type of robot. 

This optional flange is normally supplied by ATI in a 

blank form suitable for customer modification. Refer to 

Section 9—Drawings

.

Mounted to a table or stand by means of the bench 
adapter (the robot is carrying the work piece).

Utilities

The tool requires the following:

• 

Clean, dry, filtered, non‑lubricated air. 

• 

A coalescing filter and filter elements rated 

 

5 micron or better. 

• 

The motor spindle must be supplied air at  
6.2 bar (90 psi). 

• 

The radial compliance (centering) air must be 
supplied from a regulated source between  
1.0–4.1 bar (15–60 psi).

Conditions

The tool should be stored in its crate and in a dry 
place.

When not in use, keep the unit in its crate if possible. 
Consult 

Section 3.4—Storage and Preventive 

Maintenance during Storage 

of this manual.

2.3.2  Compliance Unit Performance

The graphs in 

Figure 2.3

 illustrate the variation of compliance force with applied air pressure in the 

vertical orientation with the collet pointed toward the ground. Measurements may vary from one 

product to another and should only be treated as nominal.

The actual force characteristics are dependent on mounting orientation and condition of the unit. In 

applications, where the deburring tool is mounted horizontally, additional compliance air pressure 

is required to overcome the weight of the motor. Compliance pressure is also dependent upon the 
material of the work piece, type of bur tool, and the amount of material that is removed.

The turbine motor attempts to maintain its full rated speed even under loaded conditions. However, 

when extremely heavy cuts are taken, the motor may eventually stall. Therefore, multiple, light 

passes are preferred over slow, heavy cuts.
