1. Product Overview
The AOV Media Changer (AMC) is an accessory to the AOV tools. TheAMC works with standard industrial
sanding disc and allow for adaptation to changing assembly lines and part requirements.
The AMC system allows the checking and changing of media without human interaction, once a
program is in place.
For drawings and further details, refer to https://www.ati‑ia.com/Products/deburr/deburring_home.aspx.
1.1 Media Feeder
The media feeder provides a storage location and dispenser for 5 inch or 6 inch sanding discs.

1.2 Media Remover
CAUTION: Needles can pinch or puncture clothing and skin avoid contact during
setup, service, and operation of needle grippers causing injury to personnel and
damage to equipment.
The media remover uses pneumatically actuated needles to remove media from AOV.

2. Installation of Components
Required Equipment:
The items listed in this section are the minimum requirements to operate the AMC.
1. (2) 4 mm air lines in for media remover. Each air line will supply air to the Media Remover and operate the
needle drive mechanism.
• One line is for needle extension.
• One line is for needle retracting.
• The lines will need to purge when switching over from extend to retract or vice versa. See following section
for recommended equipment.
2. (1) 3‑pin M8 connector for media detection. This cable will be used to connect the Media Checker to I/O on the
robot.
Recommended Optional Equipment:
The items listed in the following section are only recommended equipment that can help refine the media change
out process. These are not necessary to operate theAMC.
1. (2) Programmable regulator
• One will be used to adjust the compliance pressure during the operation. Not necessary, but it makes fetching
new media a little easier.
• The other will be used in conjunction with a solenoid valve to control the needle gripper.
2. (1) 4 or 5 position solenoid valve
• This solenoid is used to switch and purge the air between the extend and retract air ports in
the Media Remover.

2.1 Media Feeder Installation
The media feeder can be installed at any an angle and in any orientation that allows the AOV sanding pad to
contact the media in the feeder completely. To install the media feeder, complete the following procedure:
Tools required: Hex keys
Supplies required: (4) Customer supplied socket head cap screws
1. Mount the media feeder to a rigid surface using the (4) mounting holes in the bottom plate with customer
supplied socket head cap screws.
2. Load the feeder by inserting small stacks (15‑25 discs) of media into the storage opening with the hook
and loop side facing outward.

2.2 Media Remover Installation
The media remover can be installed at any an angle and in any orientation that allow the media to fall away
from the media remover. Figure 2.2 is shown only for information purpose and is not a recommended
mounting orientation. Customer supplied waste receptacle is advised for removed media. The media
remover can be installed by performing the following procedure:
CAUTION: Needles can pinch or puncture clothing and skin avoid contact during
setup, service, and operation of needle grippers causing injury to personnel and
damage to equipment.
Tools required: Hex keys
Supplies required: (3 or 4) Customer supplied fasteners
1. Mount the media remover to a rigid surface using either of the mounting patterns on the bracket with
customer supplied fasteners.
2. Connect air supply to the (2) push tube fittings.

2.3 Media Checker Installation
The media checker can be installed at any an angle and in any orientation that allow the sanding pad of the
AOV to contact the piston in the checker completely. The media checker can be installed by performing the
following procedure:
Tools required: Hex keys
Supplies required: (4) Customer supplied socket head cap screws
1. Mount the media checker to a rigid surface using the (4) mounting holes with customer supplied socket
head cap screws. Tighten hand tight.
2. Attach the 3‑pin M8 connector on the sensor cable to the customer supplied connection.

2.4 Pneumatics
The air supply should be dry, filtered, and free of oil. A coalescing filter (ATI Part # 9005‑50‑6160 or
equivalent) with elements rated for 5 micron or better is required.
Customer supplied solenoid valves are actuated from the robot or program logic controller by means of a
digital output signal. The extend/retract for the media remover must supply a regulated air supply pressure
of 4.1 bar [60 psi].
2.5 Electrical Connections
The media checker has an integrated sensor.
