Product catalog summary
Product Description
ATI's Radially-Compliant (RC) Deburring Tools, branded as FlexdeburrTM, are high-speed, lightweight air turbine-driven units designed for deburring materials such as aluminum, plastic, and steel. These tools are compatible with robots or CNC machines and are ideal for removing parting lines and flash from parts. The RC tools feature a pneumatically-controlled, articulated design that allows the cutting bit to follow part profiles and compensate for surface irregularities, ensuring high feed rates and uniform quality. They operate without oil, allowing clean exhaust air to be vented into the work environment.
Features
  • Designed for parting line and flash removal, with capabilities for edge deburring.
  • Quiet turbine motor operating at less than 70 dbA, using clean air.
  • Patented design with radial compliance for easy robot programming.
  • Flexible mounting options for robots, benches, or fixtures.
  • Utilizes industry-standard tungsten-carbide bits for adaptability.
  • Minimal chattering and vibration due to compliance unit support.
Specifications
The RC Deburring Tools offer up to ±9 mm of compliance and utilize standard industrial tungsten-carbide bits. They are available in various models, including RC-151, RC-660, RC-300/340, and RC-340-CNC, each with specific compliance travel, force, idle speed, and air consumption specifications.
Axially-Compliant Finishing Tools
ATI's Axially-Compliant Material Finishing Tool, VersaFinishTM, is a robust, low-speed, high-torque air tool with an axially floating spindle for various finishing operations. It features a reliable vane motor, high-torque performance, and floating axial compliance for consistent contact force. Optional sensors are available for process monitoring.
Ordering Information
Radially-Compliant Deburring Tools and Axially-Compliant Material Finishing Tools can be ordered with specific configurations and optional sensors for enhanced functionality.
Overview
The document provides detailed information on ATI Industrial Automation's deburring tools, specifically focusing on Axially-Compliant (AC) and Radially-Compliant (RC) models. These tools are designed for edge deburring and chamfering, offering solutions for various industrial applications.
Specifications
The AC Deburring Tools feature a robust vane motor, high-torque performance, and floating axial compliance. They are available in two models: AC-90 with an angled cutting head and AC-180 with a straight cutting head. Key specifications include weight, maximum burr compensation, axial force range, cutting file speed, air consumption, and sound pressure levels.
Features
The AC tools offer easy mounting options, a simple file-change system, and easy programming due to the axial motion of the Free Flying Piston (FFP). They are widely used in industries such as automotive and aerospace, with notable clients like Pratt & Whitney and General Motors.
Applications
The tools are suitable for deburring crankshafts, aluminum bumpers, steel steering knuckles, and more. The document highlights the advantages of using AC tools for edge deburring and RC tools for reaching confined areas and removing parting lines.
Case Studies
Examples include the use of AC tools for deburring aluminum wheel rims and RC tools for complex automotive parts, demonstrating significant productivity gains and flexibility in application.
Additional Products
ATI also offers other robotic automation products such as tool changers, force/torque sensors, utility couplers, and collision sensors, emphasizing their commitment to enhancing manufacturing productivity.
Company Profile

Robotic & CNC Deburring Tools-10

APPLICATIONS Radial Compliance vs. Axial Compliance: Which Deburring Tool best fits my application? Radially-Compliant (RC) Deburring Tools use a turbine motor which requires filtered, lubrication-free air. Standard industrial burrs may be used. Axially-Compliant (AC) Deburring Tools use a vane-type motor which requires filtered, lubricated air to operate properly. Use of nonlubricated air will result in motor failure. This design utilizes specially designed burrs only available from ATI. Edge deburring in tough-to-reach areas? Radially-Compliant Deburring Tools, in many cases, can reach deeper...
