July 30, 2015 - - ST Robotics announced TC12 passive tool changer system for the ST Robotics R12 five and six-axis articulated robot arms.
Locked entirely by the last axis of the robot, this changer requires no compressed air or electrics to operate, and can pass through three pneumatic lines (air and/or vacuum) and up to five electrical connections. The pneumatics are enough for a double acting gripper and a vacuum pickup. The electrics have gold contacts suitable for an electric gripper, USB or any electronic device.
