OnRobot Launches ‘Quick Changer’ Robotics Tool Changer

OnRobot has announced a new patented tool changer for collaborative applications developed by Purple Robotics, recently acquired by OnRobot. Weighing only 200 g (7 oz.), the Quick Changer has a low impact on robot payload. Its compact size also adds minimal distance from the tool center point (TCP) to the robot, which minimizes stress on robot joints. The Quick Changer releases end-of-arm tools with just a click and inserted tools are automatically positioned correctly with a repeatability of ±0.02 mm. The Quick Changer can be used on any robot arm, drone, or other equipment with an ISO-9409-1 flange.

Partners Line Up to Represent Innovative Tools

The new tool changer will be carried by a wide network of global distributors eager to present the product to manufacturers.

Quick Changer features:

  • Easy and fast change of tools
  • Fully collaborative, with no sharp edges
  • Up to 10 kg (22 lb) payload
  • High repeatability
  • Lowest weight in class
  • Lowest height in class
  • ISO 9409-1, type 50-4-M6 compatible
  • Redundant locking mechanism
  • Patented technology

OnRobot will showcase the new Quick Changer in its booths (236480 & 236592, North Bldg L3) at IMTS in Chicago September 10-15.
