Manufacturer: Fukudaco

Overview

A manufacturer of high-precision and durable air tools for many years. Leveraging its accumulated technology, the company has developed an air-powered floating mechanism for deburring, which has been widely adopted for deburring automation around the world.

Applications

Automation of deburring by robots (secondary burrs after cutting, casting burrs, etc.)

Features

• Floating system (PAT.P) capable of handling various burrs
• Air motor ensures no heat generation even during prolonged use
• Air motor eliminates electrical issues such as cable breakage
• High-precision spindle rotation with micron-level accuracy
• High durability

1. Air spindle with floating holder

High precision, high rigidity, floating force adjustable

The air spindle developed by BIAX (Germany) features high precision and high rigidity, allowing you to select rotational speeds of 12,000, 22,000, 30,000, or 40,000 (min-1) depending on the cutting tool used. Additionally, the floating force can be adjusted over a wide range up to a maximum of 70N by regulating the air pressure, making it suitable for handling both small burrs after cutting and large burrs such as casting burrs. Its compact and lightweight design makes it possible to mount it on small multi-axis robots, such as those with a payload capacity of 5kg.

Specification

*The rotation speed, maximum output, maximum torque, and air consumption are values ​​at 0.6 MPa.
*All collets come with a 6 mm collet as standard.

Robot connection adapter

We have a dedicated adapter (M60 x 1 female thread) for easily connecting the floating holder to a robot. It is made of aluminum and can be used simply by drilling a hole that matches the flange surface of the robot.
(Compatible models: F12NTC, F22NTC, F30NTC, F40NTC)
