2.1 Description of swivel tool changers and tool attachments
This document presents the Robot System Products STC250-6 and STC250-6E swivel tool
changer including tool attachments dedicated for material handling. Likewise presented are
adaptation kits, connection kits to facilitate electrical installation and a tool stand kit.
The swivel tool changer STC250-6 transfers compressed air to the tool. It can be equipped with
transfer of electrical signals, via spring loaded signal pins, to the tool attachment. The electrical
version is designated ’E’. The swivel tool changer STC250-6 and STC250-6E cannot transport
fluids.
The spring loaded signal pins of STC250-6E are placed and protected along a circle close to the
centre of the swivel tool changer. The signal pins are not in connection until at the very end of
the docking cycle when the tool attachment is already properly aligned. This guarantees a
minimum of wear of pins and contact surfaces.
The electrical unit can be used for identification and checking the presence of tools by using
signal jumpers and binary coding of signals on the tool attachment.
For other bolt circles adaptation plates between the swivel tool changer and the turning disc on
the robot may be needed. Such adaptation plates are available from RSP.
