5.5 Programming
The FDB-AC must never be running while programming the robot.
There are various techniques that may be used to program the
robot path. In any case, the burr should be nominally at the mid-
point of its stroke while deburring the part. It will move up and
down with part and path variation.
One programming method is to teach the path using the point of
the burr as a guide, following the edge of the part, then manually
or automatically adding offsets to the path points to achieve the
final correct burr path. Another method is to program the actual
points making sure that at each point the burr is at its nominal
mid-point when in contact with the part, and that there are no
radial forces. The method used will depend on the robot’s
capabilities and programmer preferences.
If you are deburring sharp inner corners, it may be required to use
the area of the burr closer to its tip. Note that, in this case, some
of the compensation ability of the FDB-AC as well as the cutting
surface speed is reduced. When running the robot program the
first time, observe the path with the axial supply turned off. When
increasing the path speed it is important to notice that path
deviation may increase with speed. Verify that at operational
robot path speed the FDB-AC burr remains near the mid-point of
its axial travel.

The axial force of the burr should be adjusted in order to achieve a
correct sized and even chamfer.
