QC-201—Robotic Tool Changer

The Master Plate includes an anodized aluminum body, a hardened stainless-steel locking

mechanism, hardened steel alignment pins and self-sealing ports. (See Figure 1.1)

The body of the Master Plate has (4) flat sides for mounting of optional modules.

The locking mechanism consists of a cylindrical housing with holes that retain hardened

chrome-steel balls. Tapered pins located on the Master Plate mate with holes in the bearing race

on the Tool Plate to ensure repeatable alignment during the coupling process. A thin film of

grease is applied to the ball bearings and pins to enhance performance and maximize life of the

components.

On the QC-201, one G3/8 connection is available to supply pneumatic pressure to the Tool

Plate through a self-sealing port. This port is internally configured to supply pneumatic pressure

for coupling and uncoupling the tool changer. This port has limited operating capabilities when

used for a secondary application. (Please refer to

Drawings). This port will seal when the Master is uncoupled from the Tool, thus eliminating the

need to turn off the supply pressure to the port.

A proximity sensor is designed into the body of the Master Plate to verify Tool Plate presence

when coupled. The sensor provides a ready-to-lock (RTL) signal.
