• Reduce robot* programming time
• Open up part tolerances
• Decrease scrap
• Increase assembly speed
• Minimize part and tool damage caused by contact forces
• Reduce downtime and machine wear caused by parts jamming and wedging

RAD’s Spring-Loaded Compliance (Alignment) Device:

• Compensates for positional misalignment
• Is compliant in X and Y axes, radially (laterally), as well as rotationally
• Provides precise centering
• Offers no compression in the z axis – making it ideal for applications requiring moderate insertion forces through the center line of unit

Assembly Operations

• Positioning on an assembly line
• Aligning molds
• Locating parts in machines

Insertion Operations

• Placing washers, fans, or gears onto shafts
• Inserting bearings into drive assemblies

Operating Principle
RAD’s Compliance Devices provide allowances for both lateral and rotational misalignments. This compliancy allows parts to automatically align themselves upon striking a lead-in chamfer or tapered guide. RAD Compliance Devices function through a series of bearings and pneumatic pistons.

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

ATI's LCC Lateral Compliance Compensators offers X-Y lateral compliance and allows pieces to be gripped or routed reliably even if the workpiece is severely misaligned. LCC Compliance devices are designed for high endurance and high repeatability position compensation for use in automated assembly, loading and unloading machines, and more.
