Elevate robot arms with these bases so they can reach onto raised surfaces, such as conveyor belts or workstations. Made from steel, these bases are strong and built to last—they’re also machinable and weldable, so you can modify the mounting plates to suit your application. Secure them to the ground or other flat surface using the holes in the bottom plate. Additional holes are designed to level the bases—thread fasteners (not included) through each hole and adjust their depth to compensate for uneven floors.

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.

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.

Blank mounts don’t have drilled holes. Machine your own holes for compatibility with unusual mounting patterns. These mounts don’t come with installation hardware.

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