Flat ‘A’ is dedicated for mounting of the control/signal module along with SWK-L supply air that is provided through an air or valve adapter. Flats ‘B’, ‘C’, and ‘D’ (SWS-L-1210 Series and ‘F’) are fully interchangeable and optional modules can be arranged to suit the application or robot dress as required.

Installation 5 Installation All fasteners used to mount the SWS-L to the robot and to user Tools should be tightened to a torque value as indicated below. Further- more, removable (blue) Loctite 242 must be used on these fasteners. NOTE Care should be taken to select fasteners for mounting that are not too long, such that a gap is formed at the interface.

SWK-L • The thickness of the interface plate must be great enough to provide the necessary thread engagement for the mounting bolts. 02.00 | SWS-L | Assembly and operating manual | en | 0389037...
• The interface plate should be designed to include bolt holes for mounting, dowel pins, and a boss that mates with SWA-L body recess for accurate positioning. • SWS-L-310: When using a locating boss, the race cover must be removed. • SWS-L-210: The locating boss height should not exceed 6.3mm.
Installation 5.3 Tool Stand Design NOTICE Tool stand design is critical to proper operation of the SWS-L. Im- properly designed tool stands can cause misalignments that will cause jamming and/or excessive wear of SWS-L components. SWS-L-1210: Z-Compliance is required for the Tool Stand, in or- der to ensure that the SWK-L remains fully contacted with the SWA-L prior to issuing the Unlock command.

* Maximum values shown. Decreasing actual values will minimize wear during coupling/ uncoupling. ** Actual allowable values may be higher in some cases but higher offsets will increase wear during coupling. 02.00 | SWS-L | Assembly and operating manual | en | 0389037...
SWK-L enter the alignment holes on the Tool. The alignment pins should be relat- ively concentric with the alignment holes such that they do not rub against the edge. 02.00 | SWS-L | Assembly and operating manual | en | 0389037...

SWS-L. SWS-L-1210: Turn the Unlatch output off. Turn the Latch output on. Air is supplied to the locking mechanism to couple the SWS-L. A sufficient delay must be programmed between the Lock com- mand being activated and reading the state of the Locked/Un- locked signals, so that the locking process is completed before checking the locked state.
Operation 6.2 Fail-Safe Operation In the event of air supply loss to the locking mechanism the SWS-L will not uncouple. A slight separation between the SWK-L and SWA-L occurs just after air loss, but at this point the locking balls become trapped and can- not move without air pressure being applied to the unlock port.

SWK-L may be moved away from the SWA-L in the axial direction. SWS-L-1210: Check to verify that the RTLs are all “off” (false) after the SWK-L moves away from the SWA-L. The robot and SWK-L can now proceed to another SWA-Lfor coup- ling and subsequent operations.
6.4 Integrated Sensors (SWS-L-1210) The SWK-L-1210 has a total of 6 proximity sensors for detecting the Lock and Unlock state of the SWS-L. For each locking mechan- ism there is one Lock sensor and one Unlock sensor. Each sensor pair is distinguished by the corresponding locking mechanism. For example, locking mechanism #1 has “L1”...
