4.1 Description
Quick-change systems (SWS) enable automated tool change and
consist of two components:
• Quick-change master SWK: The SWK is connected to the robot
and, together with the SWA, forms the interface between the
robot and the end effector.
• Quick-change adapter SWA: The SWA is connected to the end
effector. If different tools are used with an SWK, each end
effector is equipped with an SWA. The unused tools are stored
by the robot in a storage rack during when not being used.
Storage racks are optionally available as accessories from
SCHUNK.
