ATI INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION's VersaFinish is an axially compliant finishing tool well suited for robotic and automated material finishing operations on aluminum, steel, etc. The robust, low-speed, high-torque finishing tool has a unique floating motor and spindle arrangement that provides the finishing tip's axial compliance to perform consistently on irregular part patterns. Mounted to a robot or CNC machine, it has a vane-type air motor with gear reduction for long service life and exceptional power. The motor maintains a working spindle speed of 2,600 rpm and the compliance force is 3.2-16.7 lb, at 5-60 psi of air supply pressure. www.ati-ai.com
