Conventional pneumatic components (not supplied with the FDB-
AC tool) are used to control the air supply to the FDB-AC. SCHUNK
recommends that the user install a pneumatic pressure regulator
in order to achieve a stable air supply and to reduce the air supply
to the maximum of 90 psi.
The solenoid-operated valve(s) are actuated from the robot
controller by means of a digital output signal.
The external pressure regulator is used to control the air supply to
the axial force compliance mechanism, thus enabling control of
the axial force on the rotary burr. If the complete workpiece can
be deburred with equal axial force, a conventional manual
pressure regulator can be used. If the burrs to be removed are
varying from place to place on the workpiece, and this variation is
repeatable for all workpieces of the same type, it may be
necessary to adjust the axial force by using an analog pressure
regulator controlled from the robot controller. An analog output
port in the robot controller will be needed.

It is recommended that 3/8” plastic tube be used for the motor air
supply inlet, and 5/32” tube for the axial force air supply inlet.
Note that a M5 connection is used for the axial force air supply
inlet, and a 1/8" connection for the motor air supply inlet. Use two
silencers directly mounted on the two 1/4" exhaust outlets
13].
If more noise suppression in desired, install silencers on the
exhaust line further away from the Speedeburr adapter. An oil
recovery unit may be installed on the exhaust line to avoid the
mist lubrication droplets from entering the atmosphere around
the robot installation. Additionally, to reduce the sound in
neighboring working areas, a barrier
25] surrounding the installation
may be installed (Plexiglas or Lexan is preferred).
