Manual Tool Changing System

The Schunk SHS quick-change system defines a new standard for manually operated tool changers for robots. It features a space-saving locking mechanism and offers numerous options for the feed-through of air, vacuum, and signals. Since the locking lever for changing the tool only has to be pushed forward and not turned, the manual changing system is designed for convenient operation also in confined spaces. A relatively large number of air feed-throughs, which can be connected both axially and radially, allows a great deal of freedom in the planning of systems. In addition, large diameters provide for a high air flow rate and fast operation of the actuators. Special shaped seals guarantee a highly sealed system that can also be used for the supply of vacuum. Optionally, the Schunk SHS can be equipped with an integrated tool presence control and with a locking monitor. Different standard Schunk electrical feed-throughs can be connected to the modules by means of a standard flange for the supply of signals. The non-corrosive manual changing system is available in six sizes (40 to 125) with 4 to 12 air feed-throughs. It is equipped with hole pat-terns for ISO flanges to facilitate mounting on the robot arm. The repeat accuracy is < 0.02 mm. This series is an expansion of the Schunk portfolio for fast tool change. The modules for automatic quick-change systems alone comprise 22 unit sizes for payloads from 1.4 kg to 4,080 kg and a selection of 2,000 versions that is unequalled worldwide.
