The Zimmer FGR axis compensation module series enables precise force compensation in robotic automation. It improves alignment during handling and assembly tasks.

It compensates for positioning inaccuracies during part engagement. As a result, manufacturers can reduce stress on robots, tooling, and workpieces.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Axis compensation module designed for robotic handling and assembly
• Compensates for position inaccuracies up to ±4 mm stroke
• Single-acting pneumatic cylinder for simple control and reduced piping
• Adjustable compensation force and stroke for application flexibility
• Can be fixed centrally or decentrally depending on process needs
• Force-free compensation to reduce stress on components
• Compact and lightweight aluminum housing for reduced robot load
• Direct force transfer with low energy loss for efficient operation
• Compatible with standard robot flanges (ISO 9409-1)
• Designed for joining, assembly, and precision handling applications

When launching a new force compensation or end-of-arm tooling project, In-Position Technologies engineers take a consultative approach. First, they review application requirements. They assess alignment and tolerance conditions. This helps determine the best compensation solution. Next, the team evaluates the system workflow. This ensures smooth integration with the robot.

Their evaluations include:

• Required compensation stroke and tolerance range
• Part alignment and positioning variability
• Cycle time and process requirements
• Mounting and integration constraints

Finally, customers may deploy the Zimmer FGR axis compensation module series as part of a complete automation solution. In that case, IP Tech engineers help optimize the system.

• They select the correct compensation module size and configuration
• They ensure compatibility with robots and end-of-arm tooling
• They verify performance based on application requirements
• They support installation, setup, and long-term operation
