Robotic tool changer module

Wednesday, 28 January, 2009 | Supplied by: Romheld Automation Pty Ltd


ATI-Industrial Automation has introduced a high-power tool changer electrical module that passes current up to 28 A, 500 VAC/700 VDC and includes Amphenol MS-style connectors and a protective earth safety ground. Other features include a fluid-resistant seal on the contacts and specially designed contact pins for low resistance.

Tool changers are used to provide robots with the flexibility to automatically change from one tool (grippers, weld guns, end effectors etc) to another, quickly and precisely. They can also be used in other automation applications where it is necessary to automatically exchange tooling that requires power feeds to each tool, including compressed air, electrical, vacuum and fluids.

The MT9 module was developed to meet customer demand for a high-power tool changer module that could pass more current than the existing MT8 20 A module and still be contained in a compact design. Other high-power modules are available such as the heavy automation PA2 200 A module that was specifically designed for spot welding applications that do not require the compact design of the MT9 module.

The MT9 module is compatible with ATI tool changer models QC-110, QC-150, QC-300 and QC-510.
