September 7, 2018 — OnRobot introduced a tool changer for collaborative applications developed by Purple Robotics, recently acquired by OnRobot. Weighing 200 g (7 oz.), the Quick Changer has a low impact on robot payload. Its size also is designed to add minimal distance from the tool center point (TCP) to the robot, which minimizes stress on robot joints.
The Quick Changer releases end-of-arm tools with a click and inserted tools are automatically positioned correctly with a repeatability of ±0.02 mm. The Quick Changer can be used on any robot arm, drone, or other equipment with an ISO-9409-1 flange.
The tool changer will be carried by a network of global distributors eager to present the product to manufacturers.
Quick Changer features:
- Fully collaborative, with no sharp edges
- Up to 10 kg (22 lb) payload
- ISO 9409-1, type 50-4-M6 compatible
- Redundant locking mechanism
OnRobot will showcase the new Quick Changer in its booths (236480 & 236592, North Bldg L3) at IMTS in Chicago September 10-15.
