Heavy payload robotic tool changers

The tool changer series for heavy duty applications is built around a strong locking unit pneumatically or electrically driven. The modular “satellite” construction provides a very flexible setup and can be configured to fit most applications. Each module supplies a variety of connections for pneumatics, cooling fluid, hydraulic high pressure, electrical power or signal, data bus and material supply.

Modular construction

With the mounting of the different modules onto the locking unit being standardized, you have up to 25 possible combinations to fit your application.

Safe and robust locking unit

The ball locking mechanism ensures a robust and reliable connection of the robot plate with the tool plate in locked position even if pressure is accidentally removed.  

According to model, the unit is pneumatically or electrically driven.
