Flexible heavy duty PVC robot covers introduced
Robotic Tooling suppliers TIA has added flexible heavy duty PVC robot covers to its range of robot covers.
It has been designed for use in deburring, fettling and flash removal from aluminium die-castings, and is ideal for use in a wide range of general engineering applications including the automotive, aerospace and defence industries.
Standard files and needle files can be used, and the file tip is compliant in all directions with radial springs providing the filing pressure.
The reciprocating speed is fully variable and can be remotely adjusted by the robot or separate controller.
The degree of compliance can also be similarly tuned to suit the work in hand, from virtually rigid for harder materials down to highly compliant movement where more delicate products are involved.
The Flexifile 2000 can be used in any orientation and is particularly suited for high production conditions for both metallic and non-metallic products.
It is well suited to the removal of internal and external burrs on castings or small parts, and provides easy access to narrow slots and grooves.
