3. Operation
The Master locking and drive mechanism is mechanically driven to couple and uncouple with the bearing race on
the Tool plate. The Master plate utilizes drive torque from a motor module to provide lock and unlock forces to the
locking mechanism.
The following procedures provide general guidelines for operational sequence of the QC‑18 Tool Changer. The
motor controller electronics and software provide operational behavior that is intended to ensure proper operation
and prevent damage to the unit.
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—Cleaning and Lubrication of the Locking Mechanism
and Alignment Pins ). Tubes of lubricant for this purpose are shipped with every Tool Changer. Note:
MobilGrease XHP222 Special is a NLGI #2 lithium complex grease with molybdenum disulfide.
The robot should be programmed to minimize misalignment during coupling and uncoupling. Additionally, the tool
stand should be durable and not allow deflection, under uncoupled Tool weight that will take alignment of the Tool
Changer plates outside of accepted offsets. See
Figure 3.1 and Table 3.1 for recommended maximum allowable
offsets prior to coupling. In some cases, greater offsets than shown in Table 3.1 can be accommodated by the
Master and Tool plates but will increase wear.
Lock up should occur with the Master plate in the No‑Touch™ locking zone (refer to Table 3.1 ) but not touching
the Tool plate. As locking occurs, the Master plate should draw the Tool plate into the locked position.

Notes:
1. Maximum values shown. Decreasing actual values will minimize wear during coupling/uncoupling.
2. Actual allowable values may be higher in some cases but higher offsets will increase wear during coupling.
