The New QC-160 Robotic Tool Changer, recently developed by ATI Industrial Automation, Apex, NC, has a high moment capacity in a lightweight and compact design and utilizes the same proven Locking Mechanism as ATI’s QC-200 Series. The tool changer features internal LOCK\/Unlock sensing and 3\/8 NPT and 1\/2 NPT pass-through air connections and easily mounts directly to most 200 kg robots.\u00a0 The tool changer enhances the robot’s ability to switch end-effectors automatically and efficiently, greatly increasing productivity, while reducing downtime for changeovers.<\/p>\n

ATI Robotic Tool Changers provide the flexibility to automatically change end-effectors or other peripheral tooling with accuracy and ease.\u00a0 ATI Tool Changers are designed to function reliably for millions of cycles at rated loads while maintaining extremely high repeatability.\u00a0 A variety of models are available to cover a wide range of applications from very small payloads to extremely heavy payload applications requiring significantly large moment capacity.<\/p>\n

QC-160 Tool Changer Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

The QC-160 Tool Changer handles payloads of up to 600 pounds, and features integrated pneumatic ports and electrical connections.\u00a0 Additional features include:\u00a0 patented Fail-Safe locking mechanism to ensure high-moment capacity and strength; a common Lock\/Unlock air supply and a Lock\/Unlock sensing method; four M5 pass-through air connections, eight 3A\/50VAC electrical connections, and a stack height of only 16.9 mm (0.67 inches).<\/p>\n

Also, No-Touch\u2122 locking technology allows up to 0.1 in plate separation when locking. Positional repeatability (X, Y, and Z) tested at a rated load at one million cycles is 0.0006 in. All locking parts are made of 58 HRC stainless steel and are designed for superior reliability, repeatability, and strength.<\/p>\n

ATI Industrial Automation is a world-leading, engineering-based developer of robotic peripheral equipment, including Automatic Tool Changers, Multi-Axis Force\/Torque Sensing Systems, Robotic Deburring Tools, Robotic Collision Sensors, and Compliance Devices. ATI\u2019s engineering department, the largest of its kind for a robotic tooling company, is focused on developing cost-effective, state-of-the-art products and solutions that improve robotic productivity.<\/p>\n
