Complete system

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Complete system with springs between table and clamping device. The laser welding robot positions the component on rollers.

A complex system is a compensation mechanism that compensates for positional errors between the joining partners during assembly by yielding deflection in defined directions due to the contact forces. The term is derived from the English word 'compliant' (yielding).

Complicated systems can increase the tolerance range in which the robot path must run in production with industrial robots . This has significant advantages in path programming: In order to use the laser material processing systems optimally in terms of time through CAD / CAM coupling, offline programming is often used instead of a non-productive teaching process. In most cases, however, offline programming is not possible without sensor-based correction of the path errors of the robot and the geometry and position deviations of the workpiece. Complimentary systems can reduce or avoid the high investment costs for sensors.

Complimentary fixtures have at least one indefinite degree of freedom . They do not determine the workpiece kinematically and are therefore not identical to elastic clamping devices that clamp workpieces in a kinematically determined manner by binding all 6 degrees of freedom of the body to be clamped.
