ATI Industrial Automation has developed a series of Robotic Tool Changers that has a large center opening in the Master- and Tool-side Tool Changer bodies. The large center opening can be customized to allow a variety of solutions to be realized, such as laser, rotating spindle, pressurized shielding gas, and other non-traditional applications.
These Tool Changers also feature multiple Fail-Safe locking mechanisms for increased moment capacity and in-the-body sensors for Lock/Unlock/Ready-to-Lock sensing.
Initially developed for medical applications, Tool Changers that feature a through-hole are increasingly in demand. ATI's Engineering department, the largest of its kind for an end-effector company, can quickly design a custom Robotic Tool Changer to fit your application.
