Securing Tool

Description

The tool or workpiece is mounted to the tool output flange (ISO 9409-1) at the tip of the robot.

Dimensions and hole pattern of the tool. All measurements are in millimeters.

Tool flange

The tool output flange (ISO 9409-1) is where the tool is mounted at the tip of the robot. It is recommended to use a radially slotted hole for the positioning pin to avoid over-constraining, while keeping precise position.

 

Very long M8 bolts can press against the bottom of the tool flange and short circuit the robot.

  • Do not use bolts that extend beyond 10 mm to mount the tool.

 

Failure to tighten bolts properly cause injury due to loss of the adapter flange and/or end effector.

  • Ensure the tool is properly and securely bolted in place.

  • Ensure the tool is constructed such that it cannot create a hazardous situation by dropping a part unexpectedly.
