Tool Changer Competitive
Analysis
(Click
the Graph for more detail)
|
Strength
to Weight Ratio |
 |
Strength
to weight ratio is based upon the maximum allowable bending moment divided
by the weight of the unit. RISTEC’s unique method of locking at the
periphery radically increases the moment carrying capacity and overall
stiffness by orders of magnitude over competitive models. |
|
Weight |
 |
RISTEC
tool changers are designed using lightweight materials placed at the outer
diameter of the device where they are most effective for carrying load. The
core of the tool changer is hollow allowing for non-load bearing components.
|
|
Repeatability |
 |
The
latest advances in machining technology allow RISTEC components be
extraordinarily precise, coupling with extreme repeatability without
binding.
|
|
Height |
 |
RISTEC
units are designed to be low profile maximizing the z-axis travel of the
robot. RISTEC’s unique mounting flange also eliminates the added height of
adaptor plates that many competitive models require to mount to a robot.
|
|
Working Diameter |
 |
Working
diameter is the diameter through which a fully plumbed and wired tool
changer can pass. The RISTEC internal utilities model allows for maneuvering
in tight spaces with no risk of snagging wires or tubing.
|
|
User
Pneumatic Ports |
 |
RISTEC’s
modular utilities offer the most user pneumatic ports available. The maximum
number of both air ports and electrical contacts can be used simultaneously
unlike some competitive models.
|
|
User
Electrical Contacts |
 |
RISTEC’s
modular electrical contacts not only offer the most user contacts in the
industry but also the most selection in wiring possibilities.
