DANGER: The gap between the Master and Tool Side Teaching Aids is a pinch point.
Physical contact in these pinch points will result in serious or permanent injury to personnel.
All personnel should be prevented from placing any body part or clothing in the gap,
especially during actuation of the locking mechanism.
The following instructions apply to all Teaching Aids. Additionally, labels with abbreviated operating instructions
are on the Master side. On the ATI website, http://www.ati-ia.com/library/video_listing.aspx, there is a video that
demonstrates how to use ATI’s Teaching Aids for robotic Tool Changers. To install and align a Teaching Aid,
complete the following steps:
1. Place the Tool plate in the tool stand. Robot programs should be written with the Tool plate resting in the Tool
stand.
