THE PushCorp model STC1615 high speed servo toolholder, vailable through Romheld Australia, has a 15hp (11.2kW) 16,000rpm servo motor with integral tool clamping for robotic grinding, drilling, and machining operations.

The STC1615 is designed for standard BT30 toolholders thus making a very wide variety of machine tools available for use. The keyed shaft prevents the toolholder from slipping, allowing full torque to be applied.
The toolholder is designed to be mounted on the PushCorp AFD1100/80 Series compliant force devices. It may also be rigidly mounted directly to a hi-capacity robot to provide a low cost six-axis machining centre with a large work volume.
PushCorp, is a world leader in force control technology, offering both passive and active force control compliance devices.
The active force instruments maintain the applied force of the material removal tool. Should any variation in the force be sensed by the system, it will adjust accordingly.
This device is capable of compensating for acceleration and gravity for a given force applied to the surface of the piece being worked. This facilitates the use of higher tool speeds, particularly when the surface has an irregular shape or profile.
The PushCorp range includes compliance units and controllers, high speed servo tool changers, servo weld shavers and glass grinders, plus active compliance wet sanders, to enable complete robot end-of-arm system solutions.
In addition, there are system support products such as servo back stands with pneumatic belt tensioning, and storage units for managing up to thirty sanding discs, for continuous operation.
