Remote Center Compliance Device--Compensator
Source: ATI Industrial Automation
The Compensator allows an assembly machine to compensate for positioning errors due to machine inaccuracy
The Compensator allows an assembly machine to compensate for positioning errors due to machine inaccuracy, vibration or tolerance, thereby lowering contact forces and avoiding part and tool damage.
When the remote compliance center is near the contact point, the part will align with the hole automatically; correcting lateral and rotational misalignment. The Compensator is a mechanical device that uses high-quality elastomer shear pads to control the compliance.
