The Rotary Joint
device allows electrical and pneumatic lines from the robot to feed through
to the tool - keeping air and electrical lines on the robot from twisting. The Rotary
Joint has two components: fixed and rotating. The rotating component consists of
the robot adaptor, tool adaptor, and a central connecting core. The fixed component
is a central ring which is held stationary by a torque rod attached to a fixed part
of the robot arm.

Lines are attached between the fixed component and your
robot controller. As the robot moves, the fixed lines do not twist. Advanced slip
ring technology is
used to pass fixed lines to the rotating component and then to your tool- so as
your robot moves, electrical signals and pneumatic pressure pass from the robot
to the tool preventing the lines from twisting. With many different sizes, this
device can be easily integrated onto almost any robot.
