2. Installation
All fasteners used to mount the Tool Changer to the robot and to customer’s tooling should be tightened to a
torque value as indicated. Refer to Table 2.1. Furthermore, removable (blue) Loctite 242 must be used on these
fasteners. Table 2.1 contains recommended values based on the engineering standards.
WARNING: Do not perform maintenance or repair(s) on the Tool Changer or modules unless
the Tool is safely supported or placed in the tool stand, all energized circuits (e.g. electrical,
air, water, etc.) are turned off, pressurized connections are purged and power is discharged
from the circuits in accordance with the customer’s safety practices and policies. Injury or
equipment damage can occur with the Tool not placed and energized circuits on. Place the
Tool in the tool stand, turn off and discharge all energized circuits, purge all pressurized
connections, and verify all circuits are de-energized before performing maintenance or
repair(s) on the Tool Changer or modules.
WARNING: Do not use lock washers under the head of the mounting fasteners or allow the
mounting fasteners to protrude above the mating surfaces of the Master and Tool plates. That
allow fasteners to protrude above the mating surface will create a gap between the Master
and Tool plates and not allow the locking mechanism to fully engage, this can cause damage
to equipment or personal injury. The mounting fasteners must be ush or below the mating
surfaces of the Master and Tool plates.
Head of Mounting Fastener Must Be Flush or
Below Mating Surface. (Do Not Use Lock
Washer under Head of Mounting Fastener.)
Mating Surface
CAUTION: Do not use fasteners with pre-applied adhesive more than once. Fasteners might
become loose and cause equipment damage. Always apply new thread locker when reusing
fasteners.
CAUTION: Do not use fasteners that exceed the thread depth in the Tool Changer. Refer to
Section 8—Drawings for details on the mounting hole thread depth. Secure the Tool Changer
with the proper length fasteners. This is true for both robot and tool interfaces.
