Compliance Devices - Overview
Robotic Compliance Devices (Alignment Devices) compensate for fixture misalignments, positioning errors, shifting parts, and/or variances in part tolerances by providing the robot arm* with a little 'give' so production continues uninterrupted.
Applications that could benefit from using a RAD Robotic Compliance Device (Remote Center Compliance Device) include machine loading, machine unloading, assembly operations, and insertion operations.
