ABSTRACT:
An edge contouring system for removing burrs from edges of precision parts. The system includes an industrial robot for moving a special piloted deburring tool along the part edges. A compliance device applies a constant force on the deburring tool to keep it in contact with the part edge, yet permits movement of the tool in a direction normal to the part surface to accommodate for irregularities in the part geometry. A pilot integral with the deburring tool limits penetration of the tool into the part edge.
