SMARTSHIFT Robotics
SMARTSHIFT Robotics' universal tool changer system allows for fast and easy deployment/redeployment of tools, managing multiple tasks in production.
A tool changer is a device that's fixed on the wrist of the robot, and allows the robotic cell to switch easily and quickly switch between tools. This means having several tools in the one area to completing a particular set of tasks. If an operation requires assembly, testing, and material handling, the tool changer takes each tool and switches them one after the other to complete the required tasks.
SMARTSHIFT's automatic tool changer clutch enables the robot to change to new tasks and tools, replace a damaged or worn-out tool in seconds, and obtain shorter cycle time with non-stop productivity for any application.
SMARTSHIFT Tool Changer Features:
- Enables robots to automate changing of tools in seconds and perform various work tasks in all collaborative applications.
- Changes faulty or worn-out tools within seconds without stopping, minimizing production downtime.
- Saves 15-20 minutes each time tool needs to be changed.
- Eliminates the need for specially designed tool changer.
- Gives greater use of robot payload. Weighs only 100-400g.
- Modular. Can be upgraded from a range of manual and automatic clutches; enabling mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical connection.
- Contributes to an improvement in product quality and productivity with fast tool changing tools that are of high speed/high precision.
The patented SMARTSHIFT design and functionality provides a new standard for tool changing in the robotic industry.
With universal compatibility, low weight and easy-to-connect design, SMARTSHIFT can be integrated with almost all lightweight industrial and collaborative robots and tools.
This includes the Universal Robots Line available here.
