ATI: Remote Center Compensator 9116-211-A

Allow for part misalignment in multiple directions.

A Compliance device automatically compensates for part positioning errors, fixture misalignments, and variances in part tolerances.
Compliance devices are used in automated assembly, bin picking, loading and unloading machines, robotic finishing, and more.
ATI’s latest compliance device combines a variety of features to achieve the highest level of adaptability in tasks such as automated assembly,
bin picking, loading and unloading machines, robotic finishing, and more. The U1-050 Universal Compliance Compensator complies in many directions to overcome misalignment between the tool and the workpiece.
The patented mechanism is ideal for demanding high-endurance applications and offers simultaneous X-Y lateral compliance,
X-Y-Z axis rotation, and Z compression. The pressurized internal reset piston returns the device to a repeatable center.
The stiffness can be tuned for specific payloads by varying the pneumatic pressure, which makes the device extremely versatile.
ATI’s UCC can be configured for either a PNP or NPN compliance sensor and has an option for environmental protection if it is needed.
The UCC comes with a standard 50 mm ISO mounting pattern which, in many cases, eliminates the need for interface plates.

Features

• Reduce scrap, downtime, machine damage.
• Eliminates jamming, wedging, galling.
• Increases automatic assembly productivity (faster throughput).
• Lowers machine and part cost due to relaxed tolerances.
• Replaces centering sleeves, springs, two-stage RCCs.
• Makes impossible assemblies possible.

RCC Remote Center Compensators

Designed to correct alignment errors for peg-in-hole automated assembly applications.
The RCC Compensator is engineered to project a compliance center (also known as center-of-compliance)
forward by using three or more elastomer shear pads.
These shear pads are stiff axially and compliant laterally. When the contact point is near the center-of-compliance,
the part will automatically correct lateral and rotational misalignment, reducing the contact force and preventing galling and jamming.
