A compliance device for flexible close tolerance assembly
Abstract
A compliance device combining passive and active compliance has been tested and developed for an anthropomorphic robot for use during assembly operations. The device has the ability to correct for angular and lateral misalignments between mating parts, resulting in no equipment or part damage. The method of control, the design features of the device and the modifications made to enable the device to be used by an anthropomorphic robot are described and future modifications which will enable the device to operate more effectively are discussed.
