    Automatic Robot Tool Changers

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Robot Tool Changers. Automatic Robot Tool Changers.
    Tool changes without the downtime—your robot arm handles tool changes on its own. These tool changers allow for multiple tools to be used in a single cycle. For example, the robot can pick and place a workpiece with grippers, then automatically exchange the grippers for a vacuum lifter to pick up a different workpiece. The two mounts latch and lock together using only the motion of your robot arm—no compressed air or electricity required. These tool changers have an ISO 50 mounting hole pattern that is compatible with most collaborative robot tools and arms, including FANUC CRX and most Universal Robots (UR) models.
    A complete system consists of one mount for the end of your robot arm, a mount for each of your robot tools, and a tool holder for each tool.

    All mounts can receive air from the mating robot arm mount and pass it through holes to air-powered tools, such as grippers. If you’re customizing a tool, make sure your design is compatible with these holes. Otherwise, use an air pass-through adapter (sold separately) to route the air from the mount to the air inlets on your tool.
    With Air and Electric Pass-Through—Use mounts with air and electric pass-throughs when connecting to electric tools. Choose a mount with either an 8-pole Nano M8 plug or socket to mate with your tool’s electric cord.

    When using these tool changers with ready-made air-powered tools, you’ll need these pass-through adapters to get air to your tool. Adapters pass air from the robot tool mount to push-to-connect fittings, so you can add a short run of tubing (not included) to reach the air inlets that power your tool. The push-to-connect fittings are removable if you prefer a different connection.

    Store your robot tools when they’re not being used. These holders grip the robot tool mount on your tool. When changing tools, the robot arm drops off the current tool in an empty holder, then picks up a new one from another holder. You’ll need one holder for each of your robot tools.
