The Master plate assembly includes the following features:
•
An anodized aluminum body.
•
A hardened stainless steel locking mechanism (a cam, male coupling, and chrome steel ball
bearings).
•
Hardened steel alignment pins that mate with bushings on the Tool plate.
•
(4) flats for mounting optional modules. Flat A is dedicated for mounting an air adapter or a valve
adapter and control/signal module combination. Flats B, C, and D are for optional modules.
•
Proximity sensor assemblies used to verify the lock/unlock position of the piston and cam.
•
Proximity sensors used to verify Tool plate presence when coupled.
•
A mounting pattern for a robot arm or a interface plate.
•
Routing channels for the RTL, Lock, and Unlock sensor cables.
Extreme pressure grease is applied to the cam, male coupling, ball bearings, and pins to enhance
performance and maximize the life of the Master plate.
