Energy distribution system for robotic tools

摘要

An automatic robot tool is controlled by an on-board computer programmed with its own data processing to operate control units such as valves and switches. The box-shaped housing (1), closed by a top (2), is attached to a robot and has an opening (4) for the passage of control and energy leads to suitable couplings. The integral computer (6) is contained inside a modular block (5) which is connected to another module (7) containing control valves (8) to which is connected a plate (9) containing electrical sockets and other energy transmission means. The plate (8) is also connected to the upper (11) and lower (12) parts of the tool changer.
