2 part tool changer...?


#1

ive seen on several videos people having a 2 part tool changers, that the robot can use during the same process, this would be an excellent addition, is their one already available to buy or are people making their own ?
even a manual two part tool changer would be a significant benefit ensuring the positonal accuracy changing from one application every time, making it much quicker and safer

it’s an old idea.
Tool changes are applied when a long cycle is allowed. In such cases, the robot can do several tasks.
In tasks with a short cycle, several robots are put.
Also, manual tool change is used for quick replacement in case of tool repair. This avoids a simple processing line.
