2.6 Tool Adapter Assembly Removal
NOTICE: Depending on maintenance or repair being performed, utilities to modules may need
to be disconnected.
Tools required: 5 mm Allen wrench (hex key), 4 mm Allen wrench (hex key)
1. If the Tool Changer is already installed, dock the Tool side of the Tool Changer safely in the tool stand
and uncouple the Tool Changer to allow clear access to the Master and Tool plates of the Tool Changer.
2. Turn off and de-energize all energized circuits (e.g. electrical, air, water, etc.).
3. Remove the control/signal module off the valve adapter. Refer to the control /signal module manual for
instructions.
4. Remove the (2) M5 socket head cap screws and the (2) M6 socket head cap screws and lift the tool
adapter assembly off the Tool Changer or Utility Coupler (refer to
2.7 Pneumatic Connections
The air supply used for coupling and uncoupling the Tool Changer or Utility Coupler should be clean,
dry, and non-lubricated. A supply pressure in the range of 60 to 100 psi (4.1–6.9 Bar) is acceptable for
operation of the locking mechanism, with a setting of 80 psi suggested. The air should be filtered 40 micron
or better. A single air supply is require to the valve adapter for Lock and Unlock air, refer to
connection.
CAUTION: Do not use the Tool Changer in a fail-safe condition. Do not transport the
Tool Changer in a fail-safe condition. Possible damage to the locking mechanism could
occur. Re-establish air pressure to Tool Changer before returning to normal operations.
2.8 Electrical Connections
The electrical connection for valve control is made through internal pin block as described in
Product Overview
valve is integrated with an ATI-supplied control/signal module that is piggy-backed onto the valve adapter.
3. Operation
Latch and Unlatch commands sent to the control/signal module are pass through the solenoid cable to control
the solenoid valve providing lock and unlock air to the Tool
customer specified safety functionality to prevent the accidental unlock of the Tool Changer unless the Tool is
nested in the tool stand. Depending on the functionality of the control/signal module, the ability to unlock the Tool
Changer unless the tool is coupled and in the tool stand may be denied. When this is the case the manual override
is provides on the valve adapter, refer to
manual override should be restricted to contingency situations and only when the robot and tool are in the stand or
storage location. Actuation of the Unlatch valve manual override will result in Tool Changer release.
WARNING: Tool Changer release will occur with actuation of the Unlatch valve manual
override. Use of the manual override is restricted to contingency situations. The Tool Changer
and Tool should be in a stand or storage location prior to actuation of the manual override.
It is important that the valve adapter be supplied with clean, dry, non-lubricated air supplied between 60 and 100
psi (4.5–6.9 Bar) and filtered at 40 microns or better. Valve adapters are supplied with the Tool Changer to provide
a fully integrated solution. The customer is only required to supply the valve adapter with a single air supply.
