Robotic tool changer

A robotic tool changer is a mechanism for quickly exchanging tools on a robot. This technology enables advanced manufacturing processes in a range of industrial sectors, with applications ranging from machine tending or de-burring parts to welding and painting tasks. While most robotic tool changers are designed to be compatible with specific brands of robots and controllers, there are universal models available as well. Robotic tool changers can be pre-programmed or configured to connect different types and shapes of end-of-arm-tools (EOAT), and range in capacity from 2 - 8 tools simultaneously.
