The new tool changer product family TKX

A tool changer system, three drive types – pneumatic, electric or manual.

We have reached a new level in robotic tool changers with the unique ToolChanger3 modular system. Pneumatic, electric and manual – all three drive types can be used with the new TKX product family. Each robot side is compatible with the uniform tool side, offering customers the greatest possible flexibility. The uncompromising design fits seamlessly into modern plants and, thanks to the polygonal shape, enables modular attachment of transfer modules.

Proven functional principle – pneumatic changing
A pneumatically actuated tool changer is often used for fully automated systems. We have improved both the locking kinematics and the internal air feed-throughs to meet the increasing demands for high-performance components for modern industrial robots.

Changing with 24 V
The electrically operated tool changer TKE shines above all with its low interference contour and extensive accessories. With the TKE, you can consistently electrify your automation. With a consistent end-to-end electric drive solution for the entire robot cell, the system is more sustainable and efficient due to the electric drives. Another advantage is the simpler installation and equipment of the plant. Complex hosing and valve terminals are no longer required. The integrated self-locking via the locking kinematics as well as a sensor query of the locking increase the customer benefit in practical use.

Changing in the blink of an eye
The perfect complement to automatically operated tool changers is the TKM manual tool changer. The tool side is locked and unlocked manually with minimal effort via a push lever with integrated locking mechanism. This means that no external energy supply is required, while at the same time simplifying the changing process considerably. Particularly for end-of-arm tooling that is changed infrequently but regularly and therefore does not require automation, the TKM series tool changers are ideally suited.
