2. Product Overview
Teaching Aids facilitate the programming of a robot to work with ATI Tool Changers. Without using fasteners
or special tools, Teaching Aids can reduce the time required to teach the robot to pick up and drop off customer
tooling and ensure optimal X, Y, and Z alignment. Teaching Aids help extend the life of the Tool Changer alignment
pins and bushings by reducing unnecessary wear. ATI Teaching Aids have high-contrast alignment marks to aid
the user in the set-up process. When positioned, the Master Side Teaching Aid and Tool Side Teaching Aid must
have a 1 mm clearance between them. This distance ensures the No-Touch Locking zone for the Tool Changer is
set correctly. Refer to the drawings in Section 8—Drawings for more information. The following is a hyperlink to a
video that demonstrates how to use ATI’s Teaching Aids for robotic Tool Changers: http://www.ati-ia.com/library/
