ATI: Universal Compliance Compensators U1-050

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

• Universal Compliance: Patented mechanism provides simultaneous X-Y lateral, X-Y-Z rotation and Z-compression compliance, allowing the robot to overcome severe misalignment between the tool and workpiece.
• Pneumatic Reset: While springs provide a minimum pre-load, a pneumatically-actuated piston returns the unit to a repeatable center position.
• Adjustable Stiffness: By varying pneumatic pressure to the reset piston, compliance stiffness can be tuned for each application or payload.
• Integrated Sensing: An optional compliance sensor monitors the internal piston proximity.
• ISO Mounting Pattern: For direct attachment to many robots without requiring adapters.
• Flexible Configurations: Options include a PNP or NPN compliance sensor, a rubber boot for environment protection, and custom tool plate bolt patterns.

Lateral Compliance Compensator

The The Universal Compliance Compensator (UCC) is a compliance device that enhances the flexibility and reliability of a robot or assembly machine. Compensators are used in
automated assembly applications to provide compliance for misalignment during assembly.
