ATI Industrial Automation’s CRT-12-5 Compliant Reciprocating Tool, patent pending, enables a wide range of robotic material removal operations. With a robust reciprocating drive, the CRT-12-5 produces a filing motion that is uniquely compatible for precise tasks like deburring edges and removing flash from cast metal parts. The Compliant Reciprocating Tool achieves a consistent finish along deep grooves and around corners with minimal chatter. This makes it a great replacement for manual filing operations which often require long hours of repetitive work that puts employees at risk of injury. The CRT-12-5 features built-in compliance, making programming easier, ensuring consistent results. The cutting force is adjustable on-the-fly so users can fine-tune the process to achieve their ideal finish and adjust for multiple features of a part. The Compliant Reciprocating Tool utilizes widely-available industrial finishing media and can be deployed in a variety of ways. This user-friendly tool is a robust yet flexible alternative to filing by hand.
