1. Product Overview

1.1 Master Plate Assembly

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.
