Modular and Flexible Quick-Change System
December 1, 2016
The SWS is a tool changing system from SCHUNK used to automatically change end-of-arm-tooling on robotic and gantry systems wherever changeover times between a robot and a tool are needed. The SWS system consists of the SWK quick-change master and the SWA quick-change adapter. The SWK mounted on the robot incorporates a patented fail-safe locking mechanism and couples with the SWA mounted on the tool. A pneumatically driven locking piston helps ensure that the connection is secure and provides pneumatic and electric pass-through to supply controls to the robot tool.
SWS tool changers increase productivity by enabling a robot to perform multiple tasks, which reduces overall cost and increases profits. By equipping robots and gantries with SWS tool changers, changeover time between tasks is reduced to seconds, reducing downtime and increasing production. SCHUNK offers SWS tool changers in sizes to fit any industrial robot, from the smallest SCARA to the largest 6-axis robot.
