4 Product Overview
4.1 Quick-change head (SWK)
The Quick-change head (SWK) includes an anodized aluminum
body, a hardened stainless-steel locking mechanism, and hardened
steel alignment pins.
The SWK has sides for mounting of optional modules.
The locking mechanism consists of a cam, a male coupling, and
chrome-steel ball bearings.
Tapered pins located on the SWK are inserted in the bushings in
the SWA to ensure repeatable alignment during the coupling
process. An extreme pressure grease is applied to the cam, male
coupling, ball bearings, and pins to enhance performance and
maximize the life of the SWK
Two port connections are available to supply air pressure for coupling
and uncoupling the tool changer, Pneumatic connection [

SWK
For safe monitoring of the end position of the SWK’s locking
mechanism we are recommending the use of a piston stroke control.
Stroke control of the piston is available for Models SWS-007 and
larger.
