A quick disconnect coupling (22) having integral fluid conduits (16a and 16b) is disclosed for use with master part transfer booms having changeable part handling spider booms (12). The coupling uses rotary locking member (52), having an eccentric cam (66) disposed thereon, which rigidly clamps the part handling spider (12) to the master boom (24) by engaging rods (60) configured in a male/female arrangement and inserted from a first coupling block (26) attached to the spider boom (12) into the second coupling block (38) attached to the master boom (24). A quick disconnect coupling (212) having integral fluid conduits (234 and 236) is also disclosed for use with tool nests having changeable tooling assemblies. The coupling (212) uses a rotary locking member (258), having a eccentric cam (260) disposed thereon which rigidly clamps the first tooling mount (214) to the second tooling mount (216) by engaging a guide rod (230) configured in a male/female arrangement and inserted from a first coupling block attached to the first tooling mount (214) into the second coupling block (216) attached to the tool nest. The quick disconnect coupling can include electrical connectors configured in a male/female arrangement which engage with one another when the first and second coupling blocks are attached to each other. |
