If the complete work piece can be deburred with equal force, a conventional, manual pressure regulator
can be used for compliance. If the burrs to be removed vary from place to place on the work piece, and this
variation is repeatable for all work pieces of the same type, it may be necessary to adjust the force using an
analog pressure regulator controlled from the robot. An analog output port in the robot or logic controller
will be needed.
Solenoid valves are actuated from the robot or program logic controller by means of a digital output signal.

It is recommended that flexible plastic tubing be used for the motor air supply and the compliance force
air supply. The installed fittings can be removed to expose tapped supply ports thus allowing the use
of alternate, customer‑supplied components. The turbine motor is extremely quiet and vents dry air to
the environment through the screen‑covered ports on the side of the housing. No mufflers are required.
Information on the sound intensity is provided in
. To reduce the sound from the
cutting operation in neighboring working areas, a customer‑supplied barrier surrounding the installation may
be installed (Plexiglas
®
or Lexan
®
).
The compliance force air supply pressure regulator should have a 0‑4.1 bar [0–60 psi] range. When
testing for the proper contact force, start with a very low pressure and increase slowly until the desired
cut is achieved.
