2.2 Module Removal
1. If the Tool Changer is already installed, dock the Tool side of the Tool Changer safely in the tool stand
and uncouple the Tool Changer to allow clear access to the Master and Tool plates of the Tool Changer.
2. Turn-off and de-energize all energized circuits (e.g. electrical, air, water, etc.).
3. Prior to removing the module use a marker pen to scribe a line or indication between the Tool Changer
and module body as a reminder where the module is to be re-installed.
4. Depending upon the service or repair being done, customer connections up to the module may or may
not need to be disconnected.
5. Remove the socket head cap screws and lift the module from the Tool Changer. Refer to Figure2.1.
CAUTION: It is recommended, not to use fasteners with pre-applied adhesive more
than three times. Fasteners used more than three times may come loose and cause
equipment damage. Discard fasteners used more than three times and install new
fasteners with pre-applied adhesive.
3. Operation
The servo modules are designed to work with industrial servo motors and drives, providing a separable joint in the
signal wiring. To maximize the service life of these components the following points should be observed:
CAUTION: Do not couple or uncouple the servo modules unless electrical power has been
disconnected and discharged both upstream and downstream from the modules. Arcing
and contact damage will occur if this is not observed. Remove power and discharge both
upstream and downstream modules before coupling or uncoupling modules.
CAUTION: Poor cable routing can also result in wires and cables being pinched in the joint
between the Tool Changer halves. Failure to observe this point may result in premature failure
of the industrial electrical connectors. Properly route and secure all cables, particularly on the
Master side.
