Limitless EOAT Rotation
Brief Summary:
A piece of machinery that offers limitless rotation was developed by ATI. The machinery can be incorporated into robots due to the flexibility of the proportions of machinery. It offers many benefits such as, improving the lifetime of robots and is user friendly.
- By utilizing advanced slip-ring technology the Rotary Joint passes electrical and pneumatic signals from robot to tooling which alleviates stress on robot lines. This device is designed to simplify applications where tooling rotation is an issue.
- The rotating component consists of the robot adaptor, tool adaptor, and a central connecting core. Lines are attached between the fixed component and your robot controller. As the robot moves, the fixed lines do not twist. With many different sizes, this device can be easily integrated with almost any robot.
- Prevents damage and increases life of robot electrical and pneumatic lines. Normal twisting action can fatigue electrical lines or damage pneumatic lines. Compact, light-weight design with a high load capacity. Constructed of anodized high-strength aluminum alloy with easy-to-use electrical and pneumatic interface.
- ATI Industrial Automation is a leading engineering-based world developer of robotic end effector equipment, including automatic tool changers, multi-axis force/torque sensing systems, robotic deburring tools, robotic crash protection devices and compliance devices.
