6.3 Conditions for Uncoupling
Ø The Tool Changer should be positioned in the tool stand in the
same location as that when coupling took place.
Ø When using electrical feed-through-modules the voltages from
24 V have to be switched off prior to uncoupling. Contacts could
be damaged due to sparking. Uncoupling without power
shutdown may shorten the life extremely.
Ø Turn the lock output off.
Ø Issue the unlock output. Air is supplied to the locking
mechanism to uncouple the tool changer.
Ø A sufficient delay must be programmed between the unlock
output being activated and reading the state of the lock/unlock
signals, so that the coupling process is completed before
checking the locked state.
Ø The unlock signal should read “on” (true)
and the lock signal should read “off” (false).
Any other condition indicates a problem and the robot program
should be halted. Once the Lock and Unlock signals are verified
to be in the proper state the SWK may be moved away from the
SWA in the axial direction.
✔ The robot and SWK can now proceed to another SWA for
coupling and subsequent operations.
