How It Works:
The automatic tool changer consists of a Quick-Change (QC) Master attached to the robot, and a QuickChange (QC) Tool attached to the end-effector or tool. The QC Master couples and decouples to the QC
Tool using a pneumatic locking piston, and ensures the connection is secure with a patented fail-safe design.
After coupling, integrated pneumatic feed-throughs and optional utility modules pass pneumatic and electric
utilities to supply the end-effector.

Air feed-throughs
Integrated into the housing to minimize
interfering contours on the robot and pass
pneumatics to end-of-arm tooling. Also
suitable for vacuum.
