Remote center compliance system having variable center

Abstract

A remote center compliance system having a variable center, an upper plate, a lower plate, and elastic bodies installed between the upper and lower plates, includes lower rotary plates, each having a rotation axis parallel to a center axis passing the center of the lower plate and the center of the upper plate, coupled to a lower end of each of the elastic bodies and coupled to the lower plate for rotating, and upper rotary plates, each being coupled to an upper end of each of the elastic bodies and concurrently coupled to the upper plate for rotating about the rotation axis of the lower rotary plate. A center axis of each of the elastic bodies is inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the lower rotary plate to which each of the elastic bodies is coupled. Thus, when parts having different lengths are to be assembled, the assembly of the parts can be easily performed only by rotating the rotary plates and the elastic bodies without changing the RCA system to cope with various lengths of the parts. Time and cost of the assembly process can be reduced.
