Hiac Installation and Operation Manual
Document: 9610-50-1000-06
In order to increase the life of the Hiac motor and bearings, always use proper
lubrication. Please consult Section 7.2—Lubrication.
6.2 Hiac Working Environment
As described in previous sections, the Hiac should only be used in conjunction with a
robot in a secured work cell/chamber.
The work cell must be secured by means of barriers to prohibit personnel from entering
the cell. A lockable door should be included as a part of the barrier in order to facilitate
access to the cell for authorized personnel only. The barrier could consist partly or fully
of Plexiglas to facilitate observation of the deburring operations.
During system or Hiac maintenance, make sure the Hiac and robot are stopped before
entering the robot cell. When installing and testing, never be present in the cell when the
Hiac is running.
Be aware of rotating parts. Use eye-protection while working around the Hiac.
Be aware of high sound levels. Always use hearing protection while working in the
neighborhood of the deburring cell.
6.3 Tool Center Point (TCP) Position
Figure 6.1 shows the TCP position and Hiac dimensions. When setting the TCP position
in the robot controller, use the mid-position of the 0.31-inch axial stroke of the FFP.
Also remember to take into account the depth of the Speedeburr adapter (please consult
Section 4.3.1—Mounting, Adapter and Interface Plate). In case an additional interface
plate is used in order to fit the adapter to the robot, this depth must be considered as
well.

6.4 Operational Considerations
To obtain best results, it is important for the FFP to be running with low friction in the
cylinder. Please consult Section 7.1—Regular and Operational Maintenance.
The Hiac should not be operated for extensive periods of time with the cutting tip
pointing up. This orientation will increase the amount of debris entering the cylinder and
cause premature wear of the cylinder and piston, possibly preventing the piston from
floating altogether. If the Hiac must be mounted in this orientation then a continuous or
regular burst of high velocity air should be used to blow debris away from the piston and
cylinder to insure low friction between the FFP and the cylinder.
For instructions on how to replace the burr, please consult Section 7.3—Replacement of
Burrs.
