The universal automatic tool changer arrives on the French market. Nomad Robotics offers the best solution for robot versatility: the universal automatic tool changer. Strength, speed and precision are the main features of this solution. It's easy to install, and its unrivalled precision means it can be adapted to your needs.
In short, the universal automatic tool changer is :
- Simple installation
- Minimized production downtime
- High precision
- High flexibility
Nomad Robotics, expert and distributor of robotic solutions for the industry, launches this robotic solution.
The automatic, universal tool changer is the new solution that is revolutionizing the daily life of many industries, reducing production downtime and supporting application cycle times.
The universal automatic tool changer is a concentrate of technology. Whereas most robots and cobots need human assistance to change tools, the automatic tool changer makes them totally autonomous. This solution is made up of various components, such as the tool pouch, the automatic and manual change system and the SmartshiftBase.
The tool pocket works at high speed with high rigidity. The solution ensures high-speed tool change to support application cycle times. Its precision achieves a reach of 0.05 mm in all directions and angles. The robot can work automatically and autonomously between several tasks and tools in the same robotic cell. It is easy to deploy and redeploy thanks to its intelligent mechanical design. The tool pocket can hold up to 5 kg of tools.
The automatic and manual changeover system is compatible with all cobots and robots. Its versatility makes installation easy and highly safe. It can lift a handling payload of 50 kg and can be used with two different connections: pneumatic 2xG 1/8ʺ or electric M8 8-pin 24 V 1 AMP. Its speed as well as its precision are equal to that of the tool pouch.
What's more, the SmartshiftBase provides optimum speed of release and deployment, which takes just a few seconds. The base's precision ensures zero pressure points, is easy to use and is compatible with all cobots and robots (UR+2020 certified).
Simplified operation to meet automation needs
The universal automatic tool changer is the new standard for robotic tool changing. Its ease of installation makes tool deployment and redeployment quick and easy, while minimizing production downtime. There's no longer any need to manually retool production lines. The solution supports all robot manufacturers and brands. It adapts to all small industrial and collaborative robots, and ensures a high level of compatibility and safety, for the best performance in every task.
The automatic, universal tool changer increases flexibility and productivity.
This solution is cost-effective and reliable for every industry and application, whatever the size and type.
It has a sensor option to ensure that tools are picked up correctly.
The solution's tools are easy to install, reducing integration time, and are durable and reusable, giving them a long service life. There are no equipment restrictions.
Today, collaborative robots rarely operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But with the universal automatic tool change system, it's possible to increase utilization.
Universal automatic tool changer application examples
These solutions can be adapted to the needs of the company. They can be used in many different applications, such as assembly, palletizing, packaging, machine operation, material finishing, quality testing, welding and many others. Example of two types of application, multi-purpose material pick-up and material finishing, which reduce production downtime.
Multi-purpose material collection :
When sorting, packing, labeling and palletizing, a fast tool changer clutch helps different tools pick up a wide range of materials. Redeploying the tool changer in different operations, or investing in the automatic tool changer clutch and switching tools without redeploying, makes warehousing and supply chain operations faster, easier and more efficient.
Product guidance, insertion, assembly, positioning and the production of precise, reproducible assembly processes with high precision and speed are key features of the universal, automatic tool changer. With the reliable tool changer clutch, product quality and production efficiency will be enhanced.
Material finishing :
Painting, polishing, sanding, drilling and milling as well as other tasks are ideal for using an automatic, universal tool changer, as it works with constant flow and precise placement.
Tool pockets make it quick and easy to change tasks, such as from polishing to painting. For small batches, a robot base plate can be supplied, making it easy to change workstations without reprogramming the robot.
The laser and different types of welding can be enhanced by our tool changer, which ensures high quality and precision. To reduce production downtime, we can add the tool pocket so the robot can operate and switch between tools and tasks autonomously in the production line. It's also convenient to move the robot to other workstations, to support different applications.
Today, robotization is a must for every industry. The efficiency that a company or organization will derive from it depends on the choice of solution.
