WARNING:
Do not perform maintenance or repair(s) on the Tool Changer or modules
unless the Tool is safely supported or placed in the tool stand, all energized circuits (e.g.
electrical, air, water, etc.) are turned off, pressurized connections are purged and power is
discharged from circuits in accordance with the customer safety practices and policies. Injury
or equipment damage can occur with the Tool not placed and energized circuits on. Place
the Tool in the tool stand, turn off and discharge all energized circuits, purge all pressurized
connections, and verify all circuits are de-energized before performing maintenance or
repair(s) on the Tool Changer or modules.
WARNING:
All pneumatic fittings and tubing must be capable of withstanding the repetitive
motions of the application without failing. The routing of electrical and pneumatic lines must
minimize the possibility of over stressing, pullout, or kinking the lines. Failure to do so can
cause critical electrical and/or pneumatic lines not to function properly and may result in injury
to personnel or damage to equipment.
WARNING:
Do not use lock washers under the head of the mounting fasteners or allow the
mounting fasteners to protrude above the mating surfaces of the Master and Tool plates.
Allowing fasteners to protrude above the mating surface will create a gap between the Master
and Tool plates and not allow the locking mechanism to fully engage, this can cause damage
to equipment or personal injury. The mounting fasteners must be flush or below the mating
surfaces of the Master and Tool plates.
Head of Mounting Fastener Must Be Flush or
Below Mating Surface. (Do Not Use Lock
Washer under Head of Mounting Fastener.)
Mating Surface
CAUTION:
Do not apply Lock or Unlock air pressure to the Tool Changer prior to installing an
interface plate or sensor interface plate (SIP). Applying air pressure can damage the cover
plate, O-ring or may cause injury to personnel from flying debris. Always install an interface
plate or SIP and have the Tool Changer mounted securely to the robot before applying air
pressure. Refer to
Section 3.1—Robot Side Interface Plates
CAUTION:
Failure to follow the interface plate or tool interface plate design consideration in
Section 3.1—Robot Side Interface Plates
and
Section 3.4—Tool Interface Plate
in cover plate O-ring damage or loosening of the interface during operation. Follow the
guidelines provided when designing an interface plate for the Tool Changer.
CAUTION:
Do not use fasteners that exceed the thread depth in the Tool Changer. Refer to
for details on mounting hole thread depth. Secure the Tool Changer with
the proper length fasteners. This is true for both robot and tool interfaces.
CAUTION:
Do not use fasteners with pre-applied adhesive more than once. Fasteners might
become loose and cause equipment damage. Always apply new thread locker when reusing
fasteners.
