Tool changer for robot tools, comprises self aligning robot and tool control circuit contacts with locking mechanisms and main mechanical robot /tool locking fingers operated by pneumatic piston

摘要

The control circuits for the robot (1) and the tool (2) have connectors (30,31) which include a self aligning element (33) with an indexed positive connection state and an indexed disconnection state. After the control circuit connections have been made the main robot /tool mechanical connection is secured by fingers (7) which are driven by a pneumatic piston and rollers (10) bearing on a piston cam (17)
