ATI Industrial Automation’s QC-7 Robotic Tool Changer provides a cost-effective solution for quickly changing tools. The compact, yet robust design is optimized for collaborative robot applications and is a perfect fit for all UR robot models. The QC-7 Robotic Tool Changer’s pneumatically-actuated locking mechanism enables secure attachment and docking of end of arm tools without manual intervention. This Robotic Tool Changer can carry payloads of up to 16 kg (35 lbs) and includes ATI’s patented Fail-Safe design which ensures the tool plate will remain attached to the master plate even in the event of air loss. With integrated air pass-through connections and options to connect a wide range of electrical utilities if needed, the QC-7 is ready to tackle a broad variety of cobot applications.
The QC-7 Automatic Tool Changer utilizes a pneumatically-actuated piston locking mechanism for coupling end-of-arm-tools to a UR robot arm. The user can program the robot arm to bring the Master (attached to the robot) and Tool (mounted to the customer tooling) together and using a 2-position valve. The user supplies 60 to 80 psi to lock or unlock air port and either latch or unlatch the tool changer.
