Smartshift's Tool Changers

ToolChangers

Manually changing tools on your industrial or collaborative robot is time-consuming and costly. A tool changer is attached to the robot's wrist allowing the robotic cell to seamlessly switch from one tool to another.

With a tool changer, you can have multiple tools in the same work area to complete a set of tasks. If your operation requires assembly, testing, and material handling, the tool changer can take each individual tool and switch one after the other to complete the required tasks.

Adding a tool changeover system is an easy, low-hanging fruit opportunity to automate,

especially with collaborative systems.

Smartshift's patented tool changers are universally compatible with almost all lightweight industrial and collaborative robots and tools. These lightweight, easy-to-connect tool changers improve productivity and quality with high speed and precision.

With Smartshift Robotics dovetail-type tool changer, you can have a very precise means of mounting a robot and easy removal without voiding warranties. You can use a collaborative robot in multiple places, where they would normally move a person around. If your facility is experiencing labor shortages, a tool changer from Smartshift Robotics is a smart step towards automation.

Smartshift Robotics tool changer advantages

Automatic Pneumatic Clutch Set by Smartshift Robotics

This is Smartshift's most popular clutch set. Connect automatically, mechanically, and pneumatically. Options to upgrade to electrical connection are available.

Manual Pneumatic Clutch Set by Smartshift Robotics

If tool changers are new to you, the pneumatic clutch is a great start, since it allows all the possible connections. Electric connections and upgrades to automatic are available. The pneumatic clutch has one robot master and two tool holders.

Light Manual Clutch Set by Smartshift Robotics

When applications require tool changing just a few times a week and there is no need for electrical or pneumatic connection, the Light Manual Clutch is an excellent, low-cost option.

Automatic pneumatic/ electric clutch set by Smartshift Robotics

This versatile clutch set provides mechanical, pneumatic, and electric connection. If that isn't enough, it's ready for full autonomous tool changing with all options available.

Manual Pneumatic/Electric Clutch Set by Smartshift Robotics

This clutch set is a good choice for all applications that need electric and pneumatic connection. For the full autonomous tool changing system, upgrades are available by adding tool pockets.

Manifold Pneumatic by Smartshift Robotics

When air is needed in vacuum applications, and the application requires the air to be directed out to the sides of the tool, Smartshift has you covered with the Manifold Pneumatic. It's an optional tool that attaches on the Smartshift Tool holder.

Smartshift Robotics also offers Adaptors and Accessories. In the block below is Smartshift's entire catalog of innovative products. There are many options from which to choose, elliTek's Engineering Group is here to assist!

RobotBases

Smartshift's Robot Base

For the ultimate versatility of your robot, a robot base set from Smartshift Robotics is a cost-effective solution. With a robot base set, you can move your robot to other workstations without reprogramming. For instance, your robot welds for the first few hours, and then the next few hours your robot is at the assembly line -- without reprogramming.

Smartshift's robot base sets provide fast and accurate movement, exact zero-positioning every time, are easy to use, and weigh 1.6 to 3.6 kg. The base is a standard flange that can be mounted on nearly all types of robots. The robot base set includes one robot base plate and two base plates.

Smartshift's robot base sets can be used in all collaborative applications:

Assembly - Screw and nut driving, inserting, mounting, and positioning
Machine Tending - CNC, injection molding, cutting, metal casting, press, and processes
Material Finishing - Painting, polishing, sanding, drilling, and milling
Palletizing / Packing - Sorting, packaging, labeling, and palletizing
Quality - Testing, inspection, and measuring
Welding - Laser, ultrasonic, soldering, and spot welding

The benefits of adding a Smartshift Robot Base System include:

Use one robot at multiple workstations
Accurate installation in seconds
Exact zero-positioning - anywhere - anytime
Repeat the same operation at a new workstation without reprogramming
Easy to connect and use
