Don’t restrict your robot to one tool. A tool chang­er gives your robot the abil­i­ty to switch EOAT (end of arm tool­ing) auto­mat­i­cal­ly with ease and speed.

This fea­ture alone will save time and add flex­i­bil­i­ty to any robot­ic sys­tem. Tool chang­ers are designed for longevi­ty and top-lev­el repeata­bil­i­ty.

How do you decide which robot­ic tool chang­er is right for your tools, robot, sys­tem, part? There are num­ber of things to con­sid­er when choos­ing a robot­ic tool changer:

Capac­i­ty: The strength of tool chang­ers varies accord­ing to their moment capac­i­ty. Make sure your tool chang­er can work well with your robot, tool­ing, part.

Envi­ron­ment: You must con­sid­er envi­ron­ment fac­tors like expo­sure to chem­i­cals and tem­per­a­ture changes, and make sure your tool chang­er can with­stand them.

Air/​Power Sup­ply: Make sure you have met all the pneu­mat­ic and elec­tri­cal needs of your tool chang­er. Tool chang­ers should be as reli­able and safe as the robot they are con­nect­ed to. They should have safe­ty fea­tures that keep tool­ing secure regard­less of pow­er and air sup­ply fail­ures.
