Pneumatic Lock-up
RAD's Compliance Device features standard pneumatic 'lock up' to prevent the device from shifting during rapid transport (eliminates time spent waiting for the part to settle before insertion) and/or to disable the compliance when it's not needed.

Rotational & Lateral Compliance
RAD's Pneumatic Compliance Device offers up to ± 6º of rotation and up to ± 0.185"
(4.7 mm) lateral movement (model dependent) to compensate for variances within the production process.

PLEASE NOTE: If you require axial ("Z" axis) or angular compliance, as well as rotational, the Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor can be used as a compliance device by simply mounting the unit without wiring it to the robot.

Variable Resistance
The Pneumatic Compliance Device can be operated at low or no pressure for smooth compliance, or at higher pressure for the self-centering and rigidity needed for exact positioning.

Moderate Insertion Force
RAD's Pneumatic Compliance Device is ideal for applications requiring moderate insertion forces since it offers no compression in the "Z" axis and low lateral resistance.

Positive Stops
RAD's Pneumatic Compliance Device offers positive stops to protect against overload in any direction.

Durability
RAD's Pneumatic Compliance Device was designed with durability in mind. The body is constructed of black anodized aluminum; heavy-duty thrust bearings on hardened surfaces minimize wear, and hardened ground rings offer long life and wear resistance to the unit. The pneumatic pistons used in RAD's Compliance Device to create the force resistance offer greater durability than the elastomers used in most compliance devices.

Dynamic Variability
RAD's Pneumatic Compliance Device is pneumatically controlled using a regulator and your robot's* logic and valve system. By using a programmable air regulator, the external force required to offset the top plate can be dynamically changed.

No Maintenance Required
RAD's Pneumatic Compliance Device is pre-adjusted at the factory and normally requires no maintenance.

Repairability
Should a repair be necessary, most components of RAD's Pneumatic Compliance Device can be replaced or repaired in the field to minimize downtime.

* Can also be used on linear actuators, pick & place machines, and other automated equipment.
