On September 8-13 at the 2008 International Manufacturing Technology show in Chicago, IL, ATI Industrial Automation will introduce the new QC-1210 Heavy Automation Robotic Tool Changer. The QC-1210 was developed for robots that can handle up to 1200 kg loads and features three of ATI's patented Fail-Safe locking mechanisms.  The new Tool Changer can mount up to six utility modules using a common mounting pattern. Also on display will be, ATI's new Net F/T Force/Torque Sensor System. The Net F/T System measures six components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz) and provides an EtherNet/IP™ and CAN bus communication interface, and is compatible with standard Ethernet. At Booth # B-6416, ATI will also have all of their newest end-effector products on display, including Robotic Tool Changers, Multi-axis Force/Torque Sensors, Robotic Deburring and Finishing Tools, Robotic Collision Sensors, Rotary Joints, and Compliance Devices.
