Aitec's core misalignment correction unit "FCD series" smoothly slides along the taper surface of the counterpart, enabling insertion. Please consider Aitec's FCD for your core misalignment issues. 【Increasing Adoption in These Cases】 ■ Cost reduction for equipment using advanced sensors and cameras → Challenge: Advanced tools are highly precise but come with a high total cost... ☑ By adopting FCD with a guiding shape, it may be possible to eliminate sensors and cameras in some cases! ■ Shortening of takt time → Challenge: The insertion process while detecting shapes with sensors and cameras takes time... ☑ If insertion can be done following the guidance using FCD, it will shorten the takt time! ■ Response to requests for non-standard mechanisms → I would like movements other than X and Y directions as triggers during insertion... ☑ We will consider it within the possible range for X, Y, θ, αβ, and Z directions! *For more details, please download the product introduction catalog or feel free to contact us.

One of the errors that occur during pick-and-place operations with robotic hands is operational errors caused by misalignment. The Fine Control Device (hereafter referred to as FCD) utilizes the characteristic of the top plate sliding smoothly to support pick and release operations. It can be used both upwards and downwards, and the top plate can be locked using air supply. 【Achieving Remarkable Miniaturization!】 Outer diameter: φ32mm Height: 28mm (excluding the inlay) Weight: 60g It can be used in environments troubled by misalignment during robot work chucking or work insertion. By aligning with a taper during chucking and releasing, troubles can be resolved. 【Features】 ○ The top plate returns to its original position and locks due to air supply The center lock mechanism of the top plate allows for stable operation even during transport ○ Even when the center lock due to air supply is not engaged, the internal magnets pull together, returning the top plate to the center ○ The return to the original position by magnets stabilizes the top plate position during repeated operations *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

One of the errors that occur during pick-and-place operations with robotic hands is operational errors due to misalignment. The fine adjustment unit "Fine Control Device: FCD" leverages the characteristic of the top plate sliding smoothly to support operations. Aitec's "FCD" can be used both upwards and downwards, and it allows for locking of the top plate through air supply. We can also consider manufacturing it according to your desired specifications. 【Some solutions to troubles】 ● Teaching has become difficult due to equipment relocation 　→ If the equipment is equipped with FCD, it can accommodate misalignment in the sliding direction. Adjustments after relocation are also easy. ● Insertion troubles due to changes in workpiece shape or an increase in types 　→ Since FCD can slide smoothly, it can accommodate changes in workpieces depending on the conditions. It can be used in workplaces troubled by misalignment issues during the robot's workpiece chucking or insertion. *For other concerns or case studies, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.

The "FCD (Fine Control Device)" is a compliance unit that takes advantage of the smooth sliding feature of the top plate of the centering unit. It can be used in environments troubled by misalignment during robot work chucking or work insertion. Problems are resolved by aligning with a taper during chucking and releasing. 【Features】 ○ The top plate returns to its original position and locks in place through air supply, allowing for stable operation even during transport due to the top plate center lock mechanism. ○ Even when the center lock is not engaged by air supply, the internal magnets pull the top plate back to the center. ○ The return to the original position by magnets stabilizes the top plate position during repeated operations.

The core misalignment correction unit 'FCD-S series' developed by Aitec is a peripheral device for robot hands that slides along tapered surfaces in any axial direction—vertical, horizontal, or diagonal—to support the insertion of workpieces. Do you have any of these concerns? ■ Frequent operational errors due to core misalignment during pick-and-place actions with robot hands... ■ The current compliance unit is difficult to use because the top plate droops when used horizontally... ■ Variability in workpiece shapes makes line automation challenging... ■ We want the external shape and specifications to match our requirements... and more. By applying the fine adjustment unit 'Fine Control Device: FCD', we leverage the feature of smooth sliding of the top plate to support pick-and-place actions even in a horizontal orientation! Additionally, the top plate can be locked with air supply, and since it allows 360° sliding, applications in directions that were previously difficult, such as with multi-joint robots and deburring machines, are now expected. ★ This product will also be exhibited at the 'Mechanical Element Technology Exhibition' starting on February 6, 2019 (Wednesday). *For more details, please refer to the catalog with installation images or feel free to consult us.
