Connect your robot arm to tools or extensions made from T-slotted framing. These mounts are often used to support custom tools for uniquely shaped items, such as a rig to lift chairs off of a line, or as a mounting base for a screwdriver. They use ISO mounting patterns, an industry standard for arm connections. These mounts are made of aluminum, so they’re corrosion resistant, lightweight, and machinable. The lightness helps you keep robot arms under their payload, or weight limit, and the machinability means you can drill your own holes. Mounts come with all the hardware needed to connect them to robot arms, but not the bolts required to connect T-slotted framing to the mounts. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

Round mounts are compatible with several ISO mounting patterns, so they connect to a wide variety of robot arms. They’re also lighter and smaller than other mounts, so they fit in tight spaces. However, with only two mounting holes for T-slotted framing, they have fewer attachment options than other mounts.

Equip your robot arm with two tools at once—these mounts have two offset, angled mounting surfaces for tools. They’re often used to speed up a robot’s work cycle, such as when two grippers swap workpieces in and out of a CNC machine. Or, use them to mount tools with different functions, such as a pick-and-place gripper that puts a workpiece into a vice and a sander that finishes the workpiece. They’re compatible with the most common robot arms, including some models from Universal Robots (UR) and FANUC.

These mounts are made of aluminum, so they’re corrosion resistant, lightweight, and machinable. The lightness helps you keep robot arms under their payload, or weight limit, and the machinability means you can drill your own holes.

For a complete system, you'll need an end-of-robot-arm mount and two tool-side mounts. These mounts include fasteners to attach mounts to your arm, and fasteners to attach tool-side mounts, but not fasteners for attaching your tools.

Bolt-on mounts have a standard ISO mounting pattern—choose one that matches the mounting pattern of your robot arm and tools. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

To extend your robot arm’s reach, use robot tool extensions.

Extend the reach of your robot arm, so it can access the full width of a conveyor or the bottom of deep containers. These extensions use standard ISO mounting patterns, so they’re compatible with most robot arms and tools, such as those made by Universal Robots (UR) and FANUC. Select an extension with an ISO mounting pattern that matches your arm and tool, or use a robot tool mount (sold separately) to adapt to a different pattern. They include mounting hardware to connect them to your robot arm, but don’t have hardware to connect to tools. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

These extensions are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and strong. They’re also machinable, so you can modify them to mount to custom patterns. Acetal is lighter and less rigid than aluminum, so it’s used for shorter extensions.

Connect robot tools to robot arms that have different ISO mounting patterns. Compatible with some models of Universal Robots (UR) and FANUC robots, these mounts are commonly used to equip robot arms with pick-and-place grippers, vacuum grippers, and sanders. They use ISO mounting patterns, an industry standard for arm connections. Mounts come with all the hardware you need to connect them to robot arms, but not all the hardware required to connect robot tools to mounts. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

Bolt-on mounts have ISO mounting patterns on the tool side.

Blank mounts don’t have drilled holes on the tool side. Machine your own holes for compatibility with unusual mounting patterns.

Threaded mounts have a universal female-threaded connection on the tool side for attaching threaded tools, pipe, rods, and other components to robot arms. If you need a male-threaded connection, choose one with an included universal thread adapter. For other thread types and sizes, add a universal thread adapter.

Aluminum mounts are a lightweight metal alternative to stainless steel, helping your robot arm stay under its payload limit, or the total capacity a robot can lift. They’re also more machinable than stainless steel, so you can drill your own holes for robots with unusual mounting patterns. These mounts resist corrosion.

Acetal plastic mounts are lightweight and strong. Often used in food-processing plants, they won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners.

Switch out your end-of-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.

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 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.

Aluminum tool changers are lightweight, so they won’t weigh down your robot arm.

304 stainless steel tool changers won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. They’re often used with tools that handle food.

Attach threaded vacuum cups to robot arms with different ISO mounting patterns. These mounts have a universal thread for attaching your vacuum cups as well as inlet ports to connect air-powered vacuum pumps, so you can perform a variety of pick-and-place tasks. Use the 6-mm inlet port to move light objects or when working in tight spaces. Use the 10-mm inlet port to move heavy or porous objects, such as corrugated cartons. Made of acetal plastic, these mounts are strong, but lightweight, and stand up to moisture and chemicals. They include the hardware you need to connect them to robot arms. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

To preserve vacuum pressure, insert a 6-mm or 10-mm plug into the end of whichever inlet port you are not using.

Universal thread adapters let you join mounts and vacuum cups with different thread types.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
