New small compact energy free tool changer for ST Robotics small R12 robot
It's tempting to say we thought of it first but luckily we are in different sectors! We get on well with Applied having purchased their products for many years for our larger R17 robot arm!” - ST Robotics CEO Serial inventor Dr. David SandsPRINCETON, NJ, USA, March 26, 2023/einpresswire.com / -- New practical innovations from ST Robotics for 2023
energy free tool changer for small bench-top robot arm
ST Robotics launches Mk 2 mini energy free tool changer for it's small r12 robot arm . By coincidence Applied Robotics have just launched a full size energy free tool changer for larger robots that also uses the action of the arm to lock and unlock the tool.
ST Robotics often fits tool changers from Applied Robotics to our R17 robot arm but there are no changers on the market small enough for our R12 robot arm ( ). The R12 is a small robot with only a 36mm diameter flange and limited space for pneumatics. After experimenting with electrically operated tool changers we came up with a totally energy free changer that uses the action of the arm itself to lock and unlock a tool. The new adaptors can feed through 3 pneumatic lines and up to 5 electrical connections with spring loaded gold contacts. Speeds are increased with a tool lock or unlock in just 1 second.
The latest version of the ST Robotics tool changer has a redesigned locating system with a tool rack that can hold 3 tools including customer's own devices for which ST can supply adaptors.
By coincidence Applied Robotics have just launched a full size energy free tool changer that also uses the action of the arm to lock and unlock the tool; a perfect solution for our larger R17 robot.
