3.5  Tool Storage Considerations

NOTICE: 

Tool stand design is critical to the operation of the Tool Changer. Improperly designed 

tool stands can cause jamming and excessive wear of the Tool Changer components.

Tool plates with customer tooling attached may be stored in a tool stand. ATI provides compatible tool 

stands designed for durability, longevity, and maximum adaptability to fit most customers’ applications. The 

ATI TSM (Tool Stand Medium) system is compatible with ATI Tool Changer sizes QC‑20 to QC‑110. The 

TSM systems can be equipped with horizontal modules, clamp modules, and different types of tool sensing. 

Visit the ATI Web Site 

http://www.ati‑ia.com/products/toolchanger/toolstand/medium/MediumStand.aspx 

for 

products available, or contact ATI for assistance.

If the customer is supplying the tool stand, it must provide a fixed, repeatable, level, and stable position 

for tool pick‑up and drop‑off. The tool stand must support the weight of the Tool Changer Tool plate, tool 

interface plate, optional modules, cables, hoses, and customer tooling without allowing deflection in excess 

of the offsets specified.

Ideally, the tool should be hanging vertically in the tool stand so that gravity assists to uncouple the Tool 
plate from the Master plate during unlocking. It is possible to design tool stands that hold tools in the 
horizontal position, but the necessary compliance must be provided during coupling and uncoupling. In 
general, “horizontal‑position” tool stands cause more wear on the locking mechanism and locating features 
of the Tool and tool stand. 

A variety of methods may be used to position the Tool in the tool stand. A common method is to use tapered 
alignment pins and bushings. Robot programming and positional repeatability are vital in tool pick‑up and 
drop‑off.

A sensor that detects the presence of a Tool in the tool stand is recommended. The sensor may be used prior 

to coupling to ensure there is a Tool properly seated in the stand. Sensors may also be used as the robot starts 

to move away after uncoupling. Sensors provide safety measure if a Tool becomes jammed in the stand or if 

the Tool fails to release from the robot. 

Proximity sensors should be positioned so that the sensing face is vertical to prevent metal shavings, weld 

spatter, or other debris from falling on the sensor and creating false readings.

Tool stands debris shields can cover Tools and modules to protect them in dirty environments, such as 

grinding or welding. Alternatively, positioning tool stands in areas shielded from weld spatter, fluids, 

adhesives, or other debris would eliminate the need for debris shields.
