Automatic Tool Changers | Rapid, Secure Swaps

Automatic Tool Changers (ATCs) allow robots to switch end-effectors automatically, enabling one robot to perform a variety of operations in a single production cell. This eliminates the need for manual tool changes, reducing downtime and overall equipment costs. ATCs also maximize efficiency by letting a single robot handle multiple processes such as assembly, welding, dispensing, or inspection. As a result, manufacturers gain greater flexibility, faster cycle times, and improved adaptability in dynamic production environments.

Quick-Change Pneumatic Interface (ISO)

The quick-change pneumatic interface is a fast and reliable solution that uses compressed air to lock and unlock tools securely. Built with ISO-standard flanges, it ensures compatibility across different robot brands, making integration straightforward and reducing engineering costs.

Advantages
  • Extremely fast tool changes with minimal downtime.
  • High repeatability and long-term reliability.
  • Plug-and-play integration across multiple robot systems.
Applications

Ideal for assembly lines and industrial automation systems where pneumatic tools are frequently swapped in and out.

Electrical Tool Changer with I/O Pass-Through

Electrical tool changers combine mechanical connection with electrical and data transfer, making them suitable for advanced robotic tools. They can power electric grippers, sensors, and servo-driven devices while also transmitting control signals. This enables robots to perform precise, adaptive tasks and respond in real time to changes in the environment.

Advantages
  • Supports complex end-effectors with sensors or servo controls.
  • Provides real-time feedback for delicate, high-precision operations.
  • Enhances safety and adaptability, especially in collaborative robotics.
Applications

Used in operations that require variable gripping force, sensor input, or servo control—such as electronics assembly, quality inspection, and safe collaborative tasks.

Compact Magnetic Tool Mount

Magnetic tool mounts are designed for quick, tool-less attachment, making them a practical option for lightweight robots. Instead of mechanical locks, they rely on strong magnetic force to hold tools securely in place, allowing rapid and repeatable swaps.

Advantages
  • Extremely fast and simple to use.
  • Low wear and reduced maintenance.
  • Ideal for frequent changes in low-payload applications.
Applications

Best suited for collaborative robots in small spaces, lab automation tasks, and light assembly processes where speed and flexibility are priorities.

Modular Tool Changer Base

The modular tool changer base provides maximum flexibility by allowing the use of different interchangeable modules—electric, pneumatic, or fluid—without replacing the entire changer. This modular approach makes it easy to expand capabilities, adapt to new processes, and upgrade systems cost-effectively.

Advantages
  • High scalability and versatility for modern manufacturing.
  • Reduces downtime by enabling quick module swaps.
  • Cost-efficient upgrades and easy reconfiguration for smart factories.
Applications

Perfect for flexible production lines, high-mix/low-volume manufacturing, and multi-process automation cells where welding, dispensing, and inspection might all be required in one system.
