Overview

Some ROBOFORTH 'code' is supplied with the system, see later.
The pneumatic devices comprise a pneumatic gripper, a vacuum pickup with 4 cups and a
tool changer system. The robot can pick up either the vacuum pickup or the gripper with
the tool changer. The tool not in use is parked on a rack.
To operate the tool changer compressed air is required to unlock and release the tool.
With no air to the changer a spring holds the tool in place but locking pressure is also
used to ensure a positive lock against the electrical contacts.
