Robotic Compliance Devices (Alignment Devices) compensate for fixture misalignments, positioning errors, shifting parts, and/or variances in part tolerances by providing the robot arm* with a little 'give' so production continues uninterrupted.

Applications that could benefit from using a RAD Robotic Compliance Device (Remote Center Compliance Device) include machine loading, machine unloading, assembly operations, and insertion operations.

Assembly Operations
Positioning on an assembly line
Aligning molds
Locating parts in machines

Insertion Operations
Placing washers, fans, or gears onto shafts
Inserting bearings into drive assemblies
