The SWS quick change system is a pneumatic tool changing system with patented locking system. Field of application can be used wherever short changeover times between a handling device and a tool (pallet, gripper)
Automatic exchange of the end effector (e.g. gripper, pallets, vacuum gripping systems, pneumatically or electrically driven tools, welding guns, etc.) increases the flexibility of your robot. The quick-change system (SWS) consists of a quick-change master (SWK) and a quick-change adapter (SWA). The SWK is mounted onto the robot, and couples the SWA mounted onto your tool. A pneumatically driven locking piston, with its patented design, ensures that the connection is secure. After coupling, pneumatic and electric feedthroughs automatically supply your robot tool.
