PFA's Two-Stage Accommodator Provides The Critical De-Coupling Effect Necessary For Demanding Assembly Applications!

 
 Lateral and Rotational Compensation

Because of the two-stage configuration, the part being inserted can comply laterally around the center of compliance reducing wear of machinery and the need for highly accurate robots.
Automatic Compensation

RCC compensates for positioning errors in automated assembly, thus minimizing the required assembly forces and the possibility of parts jamming.
 Variable Durometer Elastomers

Six elastomeric shear pads make RCC's stiff in compression yet relatively soft in shear ensuring more accurate side to side accomodation. Choose from four different shear pad types to achieve the best compliance for your application.

 

 
The Importance of the Remote Center of Compliance

The critical aspect of PFA's RCC is the true decoupling of the lateral, shear and rotational forces. The point of true de-coupling occurs at a remote point called the Remote Center of Compliance. PFA's RCC Accommodator provide the critical de-coupling effect necessary for critical assembly operations.
