3.3 Uncoupling

The Tool Changer should be positioned in the Tool Stand in the same location as that when

coupling took place.

Turn the Lock command off.

Issue the Unlock command. The solenoid valve is shifted to the Unlock position and air is

supplied to the locking mechanism to uncouple the Tool Changer.

A sufficient delay must be programmed between Unlock command being activated and

reading the state of the Locked/Unlocked signals, so that the locking process is completed

before checking the locked state.

Read the Locked and Unlocked signals.

The Unlocked signal should read "on" (true) and the Locked signal should read "off" (false).

Any other condition indicates a problem and the robot program should be halted.

Once the Lock and Unlock signals are verified to be in the proper state the Master Plate may

be moved away from the Tool Plate in the axial direction.

The robot and Master Plate can now proceed to another Tool for coupling and subsequent

operations.

CAUTION: This Tool Changer is equipped with a Tool Stand Interlock

(TSI) feature that physically breaks the unlock solenoid circuit. Use of the

TSI will prevent any unwanted unlock software commands from being

recognized until the circuit is made.
