    Quick-Connect Robot Tool Changers

    Switch out your end-of-robot-arm tools quickly and easily with these tool changers. Separate mounts for your robot arm and tool join with a quick-connect clamp—simply open the clamp to release your tool. Often used in job shops, these tool changers make it easy to alternate between tasks. They’re also used in sanitary facilities, where tools are cleaned frequently.
    A complete assembly includes an end-of-robot-arm mount, which connects to your robot wrist, and a robot-tool mount, which connects to your tool (each sold separately). Some have standard ISO mounting patterns, so they’re compatible with the mounting patterns on most arms and tools. Make sure your power source is disconnected before changing tools.

    Bolt these mounts to your robot’s wrist with the included fasteners—make sure that the ISO pattern for the mount matches your robot. Mounts with multiple ISO patterns listed are more versatile and fit a variety of robot arms. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility. Mounts with only one ISO pattern listed are easy to clean and have fewer spaces where bacteria can grow.
    Low-Profile Robot Tool-Changer—For applications where space is tight, use low-profile mounts. Together, the two mounts create a tool changer assembly that only adds 21 mm between your robot arm and tool. They’re also lighter than utility mounts that are the same size and material. However, they do not have pass-throughs for air, vacuum, or electrical connections.
    Utility Robot Tool-Changer—Utility mounts have two pneumatic pass-throughs for air and vacuum and a power/signal pass-through for electricity. These pass-throughs let you run connections through the tool changer assembly, rather than wrapping cables and tubes around the outside. This makes it easier to switch tools, especially when changing from pneumatic to electrical tools. The 8-pin electrical connection is compatible with most robot arms and tools.
    PTFE-Coated Aluminum—PTFE-coated aluminum tool changers are lightweight, so they won’t weigh down your robot arm.
    304 Stainless Steel—304 stainless steel tool changers won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. They’re often used with tools that handle food.
    Power/Signal Connector with 5-ft. Wire Leads—If you are mounting to an arm without an 8-pin connection, select a mount with a power/signal connector with 5-ft. wire leads. This connector has an 8-pin connection on one side and wire leads on the other, so you can adapt to any electrical connection.
    Robot Tool Calibration Styli—Connect a robot tool calibration stylus to your mount to line up robots with a work area. They’re often used to direct robots to hole centers when attaching fasteners, or to help them find objects in pick-and-place applications. You can also use them to help your machine-vision camera recognize patterns and locations.

    Bolt On—Bolt-on tool mounts have mounting holes that match the patterns on commonly used robot tools. The thread sizes also match up with the holes on t-slotted framing and fittings, so you can easily join them to tools made from framing (fasteners are not included).
    Blank Mount—For a custom mounting pattern, drill your own holes into blank tool mounts.
    PTFE-Coated Aluminum—PTFE-coated aluminum tool changers are lightweight, so they won’t weigh down your robot arm.
