NOTICE
Removable thread locker should be used for all mounting bolts.
Failure to do so may cause vibration to loosen bolts over time.
NOTICE
Be careful when installing the O-ring. If the O-ring is not
properly seated in the groove it can be cut or damaged,
resulting in a bad seal.
5.3 Requirements of the storage magazine
CAUTION
Tool Stand design is critical to proper operation of the quick
changer.
Improperly designed Tool Stands can cause misalignments that
will cause jamming and/or excessive wear of SWS components.
The SWAs may be stored in a Tool Stand when not being used by
the robot. SCHUNK provides compatible Tool Stands designed for
durability, longevity, and maximum adaptability to fit most
customers’ applications. The SCHUNK Tool Stand system is
compatible with SCHUNK quick-change sizes SWS-005 to SWS-300.
The Tool Stand systems can be equipped with horizontal modules
and different types of tool sensing. Visit the SCHUNK Web Site for
products available for your specific application or contact SCHUNK
for recommendations and assistance.
If the customer is supplying the tool stand, it should be designed
to provide a fixed, repeatable, level, and stable positions for tool
pick-up and drop-off. The tool stand must support the weight of
the SWA, Tool Interface Plate, optional modules, cables, hoses,
and customer tooling without allowing deflection in excess of the
offsets specified in Operation [
}
41].
Ideally, the SWA should be hanging vertically in the Tool Stand so
that gravity assists to uncouple the SWA from the SWK during
unlocking. It is possible to design Tool Stands that hold tools in the
horizontal position, but care must be taken that the necessary
compliance is provided during coupling and uncoupling. In general,
“horizontal-position” Tool Stands cause more wear on the locking
mechanism and locating features of the SWA and Tool Stand.
