- Pneumatic reciprocating drive with oiled air
- Deburrs edges and reduces cycle time compared with manual operation
- Built-in compliance reduces robot programming requirements
- Cutting force adjustable on the fly
- Mountable to robot arm side or rear patterns
- Accepts a range of industrial finishing media and file shapes
- Minimal chattering and vibration
