QUICK-CHANGE FUNCTION

MANUAL AND AUTOMATED

The compact quick-change module provides two quick and easy ways to swap a component. In addition to an automated exchange in a storage station, known as the gripper station, exchanging by hand is also possible within seconds. Thanks to the ergonomic click system – integrated on the end effector being changed – it is possible to carry out a manual change with just one hand. At the same time, this prevents the exchange module from falling.

Automated exchange (without external activation).

Manual exchange with one-hand function within seconds.

The quick-change system is hot-plug-capable and can be changed under voltage during operation. The high quality of workmanship and the materials used (robust locking elements) guarantee a long service life (> 100,000 cycles).

An anti-rotation device ensures a clearly defined position of the end effector in the storage station. It also ensures that the end effector itself is connected to the robot in the same orientation during manual changeover.

In set-up mode, pins and optical markings in the storage station enable simple and clear positioning of the end effector. In continuous operation, the pin disappears into the storage station, allowing more freedom during the changeover process. The storage station can be attached in three different ways.

The storage station has an optional sensor query. Together with the standard Connect signal, a 100% secure system is guaranteed. In addition, there is an optical LED display on the stationary part.
