ATI Industrial Automation Releases New Tool Changer for Smaller Robots
ATI Industrial Automation (Apex, NC) has announced it is releasing a new, standard tool-changing option for robots in the 25 – 35 kg payload class.
Posted: January 6, 2022
The QC-29 robotic tool changer features the technology of ATI’s heavy-duty tool changers and is the first standard ATI tool changer designed with a rectangular body that mounts directly to 40 mm and 50 mm robot wrists.
The QC-29 includes in-body lock/unlock sensing and a new locking mechanism. Built-in air ports and three module mounting flats make connecting utilities easy; and the Zero-Freeplay design contributes to maximum repeatability for high-efficiency tool changing.
The tool-changer is compatible with ATI’s selection of standard utility modules and tool stands, enabling an array of configurations ranging from ultrasonic welding to servomotor support and more.
