ROBOTIC AUTOMATION
Increased productivity of RCC Accommodator
with Reduced Cycle Times
RCC ACCOMMODATOR
WITH LOCK-OUT SYSTEM
The Lock-Out/RCC System (ALS) has been developed to alleviate the effects of inertia and solve operational problems, such as the need for shorter cycle times, for automated assembly tasks. The system consists of a lock-out device and the incomparable Accommodator RCC. The lock-out device is pneumatically activated and electronically sensed as it locks the X, Y, and Z planes of the RCC on command.
The lock-out device is locked during movement and unlocked immediately before part insertion to allow the RCC to compensate for misalignment during assembly.
Features
- Reduces cycle times
- Permits rapid accelerations/decelerations
- Integrates with modified AST-100 Accommodator RCC's
- Prevents X, Y, Z, and rotational travel during transition
- Allows a high degree of repeatability
Without Lock Out System
Effects of inertia cause residual oscillation. The net result is a slower cycle time.
With the Lock Out System
ALS System rigidly locks the RCC and tooling in place during acceleration, transport and deceleration. The net result is a faster cycle time
