"The Rest of the Robot"

TCRETE-071L Features:

Robot Module for External Utilities
  and
  Tool Module for External Utilities

Standard Features

Built in Mounting Flange:

• The mounting flange on top and bottom of RISTEC's tool changers allow the units to be directly coupled to any other RISTEC product, any Adept robot, or any tooling previously designed to mount to an Adept robot.

12 User Pneumatic Ports on Robot and Tool Modules:

• The External Utilities Modules have 12 built-in pneumatic ports.

Extremely High Strength to Weight Ratio:

• Locking at the perimeter with (16) balls increases the bending and moment carrying capacity of the units

• Load distribution across numerous balls gives our tool changer modules the highest strength to weight ratio of any tool changer in the industry!

Multiple Fail Safe Features:
Several features ensure that the robot and tool modules couple fully and stay coupled in the event of any failure modes of the robot control system.

1. Detented Locking Piston - Detent on piston prevents tool changer uncoupling even if loss of air pressure occurs.

2. Tool Presence Requirement - Piston actuation is restricted if tool module is not present in a lock ready position.

3.   Spring back up - Once locked, a built-in spring keeps the piston in the lock position in the event of pressure loss.
4.   Optional Positive Lock Verification Sensor - Unlike competitive models that only sense tool presence, RISTEC's inductive sensor senses the position of the locking piston, ensuring that the unit locked.

Accessories

Fittings
RISTEC sells a variety of fittings to help plumb most tubing sizes to our pneumatic sub-modules.  The fittings are specifically chosen to allow the unit to fit into tight spaces.
