QC-210 Series—Robotic Tool Changer
1. Product Overview
The Tool Changer provides exibility to robot applications by that allow the robot to change customer tooling (e.g.,
grippers, vacuum cup tooling, pneumatic and electric motors, weld guns, etc.) automatically. The Tool Changer
consists of a Master plate and a Tool plate. The Master plate is attached to a robot, while end-effectors such as
grippers, material handlers, etc. are attached to one or more Tool plates.
The Master plate locks to the Tool plate with a pneumatically driven locking mechanism. This locking mechanism
uses a patented, multi-tapered cam with ball locking technology and a patented fail-safe mechanism.
The robot can be programmed to select the desired customer tooling by coupling the Master plate to the Tool plate
attached to the tooling. Electrical signals, pneumatic power, and uids can be transferred to the customer tooling
through the Master plate and Tool plate by optional modules. See the respective manuals for these options for more
details.
