Robotic Tool Changers
A robotic tool changer is a device fixed on the wrist of the robot, allowing the robotic cell to switch from between several tools in the same area able to complete a particular set of tasks. If an operation requires assembly, testing, and material handling, then the robotic tool changer switches tools as needed. Robotic tool changers are time savers when you only have one robot station to carry out different processes.
