3. Operation
The Master locking mechanism is manually-driven to couple and uncouple with the Tool Plate. The
Master Plate utilizes mechanical leverage from the actuation screw to provide lock and unlock force
to the locking mechanism.
3.1 Coupling Sequence
Position the Master above the Tool and move the Master into locking position. The mating
surfaces of the Master and Tool should be parallel upon approach. Make sure that the tapered
alignment pins from the Master enter the alignment holes on the Tool. The alignment pins
should be relatively concentric with the alignment holes such that they do not rub against the

CAUTION:
The locking mechanism must be in the unlock position when
attempting to couple the Tool Changer. Failure to adhere to this condition may
result in damage to the unit and/or the tooling.
NOTICE:
All Tool Changers are initially lubricated using
MobilGrease® XHP222 Special
grease. The end user must apply additional lubricant to the locking mechanism
components and alignment pins prior to start of service (See
Section 4.2—Locking
Mechanism, Alignment Pins Cleaning and Lubrication
). Tubes of lubricant for this
purpose are shipped with every Tool Changer. Note:

is
a NLGI #2 lithium complex grease with molybdenum disulfide.
