3.7 Pneumatics
Connect the RS deburring tool as shown in the following figure.
CAUTION:
Do not use lubricated air with the Flexdeburr. Oil in the air stream will
result in premature failure of the turbine motor and is not covered under warranty. It
is recommended that the customer use a coalescing filter and filter elements that are
rated 5 micron or better.
Figure 3.3—Pneumatic Connections
WARNING:
All pneumatic fittings and tubing must be capable of withstanding the
repetitive motions of the application without failing. The routing of the pneumatic lines
must minimize the possibility of over stressing, pullout, or kinking the lines. Failure to
do so can cause some critical pneumatic lines not to function properly and may result in
damage to equipment.
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 bar (90 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’s traversing
speed will also be adjusted to achieve the desired finish.
CAUTION:
Pneumatic components used for the motor drive circuit must be capable
of meeting the air consumption requirements (see
performance will result, if the correct components are not used.
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 (ATI Part #9150-FFR-
for the maximum flow requirements) and a high-flow valve
to properly supply a stable air supply of the 6.2 bar (90–95 psi) to the spindle motor. The RS deburring tool
will not operate properly, if the supplied air is below 6.2 bar (90 psi).
