Using SCHUNK tool changers on robot front ends increases your application's versatility, efficiency, cycle time, and process reliability. Automatic and manual tool changers enable grippers, tools and other effectors to be changed quickly. In the field of automation, SCHUNK also offers the a broad portfolio of components for robot applications, from handling small components to heavy loads.
The ambient temperature describes the temperature of the air or the direct operating environment in which a gripper is operated (and not the workpiece temperature, as this is normally significantly higher than the ambient temperature).We also offer special solutions for ambient temperatures above 130 °C. We would be happy to review your use case based on your specific process data.
A tool change system is comprised of two components. The component which attaches to the robot is the robot side. The component which attaches to the tooling is the tool side.
The handling weight is the suggested payload for a tool changer system. The proper selection of a tool changer model must however consider the force and moment loading on a tool changer.
Pneumatically actuated tool changer with self-retaining function in the event of a loss of compressed air, the integrated piston spring ensures that gap formation is minimized.
