BOS Innovations, FANUC America Corporation, and ATI Industrial Automation collaborated to create a compact robotic work cell that utilizes multiple material joining technologies. This cost-effective work cell optimized the number and flexibility of the industrial robots by incorporating multiple ATI Heavy Duty Robotic Tool Changers. There were constraints with the spot welding environment's size and with the flexibility of the cable and harness, making it clear that automatic robotic tool changing would be necessary.

ATI Tool Changers were crucial in enabling the robot to switch out end-effectors quickly and easily. "ATI Tool Changers are accurate and robust allowing us to rely on them for multiple changes per cycle while maintaining machine capability and longevity," said Ben Huigenbos - President of BOS Innovations Inc. "ATI Tool Changers are the tools we needed to perform the multiple processes required on a low-volume product in a smaller more cost-effective robotic work cell."

FANUC America's ability to integrate spot welding systems and heavy duty cable dress packages using ATI Tool Changers enabled BOS Innovations to be able to achieve its goal and provide their customers with a compact, highly efficient, and innovative robotic work cell.

ATI Robotic Tool Changers provide the flexibility to automatically change end-effectors or other peripheral tooling. These Tool Changers are designed to function reliably for millions of cycles at rated load while maintaining extremely high repeatability. For this reason, the ATI Tool Changer has become the number-one tool changer of choice around the world.
