3.7  Optional Module Installation

Tools required:  2.5 mm and 3 mm Allen wrench, torque wrench

Supplies required:  Clean rag, Loctite 222

The optional modules are typically installed on Tool Changers prior to shipment. The following steps outline 
installation or removal as required. Tool Changers are compatible with many different types of modules. 
Some modules require an adapter plate to be installed to the Tool Changer. 

1.  Place the Tool in a secure location.

2.  Uncouple the Master and Tool plates.

3. 

Turn off and de-energize all energized circuits (e.g. electrical, air, water, etc.).

4.  Clean the mating surfaces.

5.  Align optional module on the Master or Tool plate as shown in 

Figure 3.4

.

6. 

If not using fasteners with pre-applied adhesive, apply Loctite 222 to supplied fasteners.

7.  Using an Allen wrench, secure the module with (4) M4 mounting fasteners. Refer to 

Table 3.1

 for torque 

for your specific mounting fasteners.

8. 

Remove all protective caps, plugs, tape, etc from the module prior to operation.

9. 

After the procedure is complete, resume normal operation.

3.8  Optional Module Removal

Tools required:  2.5 mm and 3 mm Allen wrench

1.  Place the Tool in a secure location.

2.  Uncouple the Master and Tool plates.

3. 

Turn off and de-energize all energized circuits (e.g. electrical, air, water, etc.).

4.  Disconnect any cables, air line, etc. if required.

5.  Supporting the module and using an Allen wrench, remove the M4 mounting fasteners. 

6. 

Remove the module from the Master or Tool plate.
