2. Product Overview
The single-axis radially-compliant (RS) Deburring tool, also known as Flexdeburr, is robust, high-speed and
lightweight air turbine-driven deburring units for deburring aluminum, plastic, steel, etc. with a robot or CNC
machine. The RS deburring tool is especially suited for removal of parting lines and flash from the parts. However,
its flexible design allows it to be used in a wide variety of applications.
The RS deburring tool’s pneumatically controlled, articulated design allows the cutting bit to follow the part profile
and compensate for surface irregularities while maintaining a constant, settable force. This allows high feed rates
with uniform quality in any orientation. The tool requires no oil, allowing clean exhaust air to be vented directly
into the work environment.
Compliance is supported by air pressure applied to the shaft of the unit and is used to perform consistent deburring
on irregular part patterns. The motors internal governor maintains high spindle speeds for optimum surface
finish. The RS deburring tool also utilizes standard industrial tungsten-carbide bits which allows for adaptation to
changing assembly lines and part requirements.
The RS-340 provides for (2) mounting types, a side mounting and an axial mounting. The side mounting provides
(2) locating dowel pins and (4) threaded holes. The axial mounting utilizes a tapered flange that requires an adapter
plate. Custom adapter plates for both side and axial mounting are available from ATI. Refer to
for more information.
The RS-340 is equipped with a 1/2" (12 mm on the Euro models) push-to connect fitting to supply the motor air and
a 5/32" (4 mm) Push-to Connect fitting to supply the compliance air.
A tool collet system secures the bur tool. Many collet sizes and a various selection of tools are available to
accommodate a wide variety of applications.
