Product Overview 4 Product Overview 4.1 Quick-change head (SWK) The Quick-change head (SWK) includes an anodized aluminum body, a hardened stainless-steel locking mechanism, and hardened steel alignment pins. The SWK has sides for mounting of optional modules. The locking mechanism consists of a cam, a male coupling, and chrome-steel ball bearings.
There are flats available for mounting of the optional modules for support of various utility pass-through, such as signal, fluid/air, and electric. SCHUNK website gives assistance in choosing the right modules. For information about which optional modules can be used with the appropriate product version, see catalog.
Assembly 5 Assembly WARNING Risk of injury due to falling tool! The tool can fall off during assembly, adjustment and maintenance work. Only carry out assembly, adjustment and maintenance work • when the tool is placed in the storage rack or secured against falling.
Assembly An optional custom interface plate with a mounting hole pattern on one side for the robot and the other for the SWK provides adaptation between the two (consult the catalog for fastener and locating pin specifics). The end-effector is attached to the tool typically by using an interface plate designed and provided by the user (The required information is provided in the catalog for each model).
SCHUNK quick-change sizes SWS-005 to SWS-300. The Tool Stand systems can be equipped with horizontal modules and different types of tool sensing. Visit the SCHUNK Web Site for products available for your specific application or contact SCHUNK for recommendations and assistance.
Page 25
Assembly A variety of methods may be used to position the SWA in the Tool Stand. A common method is to use tapered alignment pins and bushings. Robot programming and positional repeatability are vital in tool pickup and drop-off Operation 41] It is highly recommended that the customer provide a sensor that detects the presence of a properly seated SWA in the Tool Stand.

Assembly 5.6 Valve Requirements and Connections As with all pneumatic piston arrangements, smooth operation requires proper porting of the supplied and vented air. It is recommended that a single 4-way valve be used to actuate the locking mechanism in the SWK. The valve may be of either 4-port or 5-port configuration.
Assembly 5.8 Sensors - Piston Stroke Control SWS Tool Changers provide Lock and Unlock sensing to detect when the locking mechanism is in the Locked or Unlocked position and send a signal to the controller. Many Standard Series Tool Changer models such as the SWS-011/020/021/040/041/ 060/071/100/150/300 can be equipped with Lock and Unlock sensing using a Piston Stroke Control (SIP) that attaches to the SWK.

5.9 Optional Module Installation The optional modules are typically installed on tool changers by SCHUNK prior to shipment. The steps below outline field installation or removal as required. Tool Changers are compatible with many different types of modules. Some modules will require an adapter plate to be installed to the Tool Changer.

Operation 6 Operation WARNING Risk of injury due to falling tool! The tool can fall off during assembly, adjustment and maintenance work. Only carry out assembly, adjustment and maintenance work • when the tool is placed in the storage rack or secured against falling.
Operation As an option RTL (Ready-To-Lock) - Models SWS-076/110/160 Ø sensing is built into the Tool Changer, providing the ability to sense Tool proximity to theSWK prior to coupling. RTL signals are not required to couple the Tool Changer, but are recommended as a further confirmation of coupling prior to removing the Tool from the tool stand.
Operation 6.3 Conditions for Uncoupling The Tool Changer should be positioned in the tool stand in the Ø same location as that when coupling took place. When using electrical feed-through-modules the voltages from Ø 24 V have to be switched off prior to uncoupling. Contacts could be damaged due to sparking.

Maintenance and Care NOTE 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 Lubrication 47]. For this purpose, tubes of lubricant are shipped with every Tool Changer.
Maintenance and Care Sensors and Cables Inspect sensor cables and connectors for any damage, cuts, and abrasion. Electrical Contacts/ Inspect for wear and abrasion. Pin Block (Modules) Exposed contacts may be subject to damage during normal operation. Clear debris from the area of the contacts using compressed air. Do not directly clean contacts as abrasion may occur and the performance of the contact may be compromised.

Maintenance and Care If the proximity sensor is not functioning properly replace. Ø Disconnect the sensor cable and discard. Back the sensor hex nut to the cable end of the new sensor. Ø Thread the proximity sensor into the SWK until it touches the Ø...
Maintenance and Care 8.4.3 Magnetic Proximity Sensor Test or Replacement - SWS-007 The Proximity sensors are very reliable and normally do not need to be replaced. Exhaust all other possible solutions, check continuity, air supply, lubrication, and pneumatic components prior to testing or replacing the sensor Place the SWS in a secure location.
Maintenance and Care Using a 0.9 mm allen wrench, secure the new sensor to the SWK Ø with the socket set screw. Tighten to 0.08 Nm. Connect to the M8 end cable connector of the sensor. When Ø power is turned on to the sensor LED should be illuminated and sensor signal should be ON.
Maintenance and Care Insert the Lock and/or Unlock sensor into the Tool Changer Ø body. Secure the sensor assembly using the two M3 socket flat head Ø screws. Tighten to 1.4 Nm. Connect the Lock and/or Unlock sensor cable connector to the Ø...
Page 56
Maintenance and Care NOTICE For SWS-021 models, the rubber bushings must be installed with Loctite 454®. A thin film of adhesive should be applied around the diameter of the counter bore in the body prior to installation; do not apply the adhesive to the bushing itself.
In heavy-duty applications, alignment (locating) pins Assembly drawings 62] may need to be replaced due to wear. When replacing alignment pins always use original SCHUNK parts. 8.6.1 Replacemanent - SWS 005 / 011 /007 Excessive alignment pin/bushing wear could indicate poor robot positioning during pickup/drop- off.
Maintenance and Care Using a 2.5 mm Allen wrench, remove the M3 socket head cap Ø screw from the SWA. Remove the alignment pin from the SWA. Discard the old Ø alignment pin. Insert the new alignment pin into the SWA. Ø...

Maintenance and Care 4mm hexagon socket Centering pin Ratchet Setscrew Another approach would be to use the access hole in the back Ø side of the SWK. If not already removed, remove the SWK. Use a 3 mm Allen Wrench to remove the alignment pin from the back side of the SWK by turning the set screw clockwise to drive the pin out the front of the plate.
