PRS Quick Changer with C40 Inductive Coupler PR

Please learn more about the future of Stationary Workholding in the August issue of Manufacturing Engineering magazine! Learn more about our revolutionary systems including:

– PLUS5 V5 vise that locks/unlocks pins with only a 180 degree rotation is compatible with all similar industry systems

– APS fully sealed (Proofline) zero-point module with a repeatability accuracy of <0.005mm

– IMG 3-In-One vise with fully sealed lead screw and reversible jaws for minimum clamping depth and wide clamping range.

Wheeling, IL – SMW Autoblok Group announces the launch of their new line of quick-change, pneumatic Robotic Tool Changer family that can be combined with a variety of Pneumatic Grippers and C40 Inductive Couplers for contactless, wear-free energy and signal transmission. With these new products, grippers, tools, and other end effectors can be changed quickly to increase cycle time and productivity and are effectively used for moving small components to heavy loads with ease.

PRS Tool Changer Family

The PRS Tool Changer, designed for robotic use, is an innovative system that provides many features to enhance its performance and durability. Available in several sizes, the body’s internal mechanism is case-hardened to ensure higher rigidity and longer life.

The system includes pneumatic opening, a spring clamp + TURBO mechanism, and an optional electric signal interface module for enhanced functionality. With six pneumatic connectors for media transmission between the changing unit and the gripper mounting, this system ensures seamless operation.

The 55 PRS Pneumatic Tool Changer offers pneumatic operation, spring clamping + TURBO, and impressive liftable weight capacity. Experience superior repeatability with the specified number of pneumatic connections, pull-down force, and pressure for efficient and reliable robotic operations. An optional electronic signal interface module is available.

PXS PXM PXL Pneumatic Gripper Series

Our comprehensive range of pneumatic grippers, including the 2PXS, 2PXM, and 2PXL models, are Proofline sealed for minimal maintenance and IP 64 / IP40 rated. With exceptional gripping force facilitated by an oval piston and 2-finger low weight design, 2PXS 2PXM 2PXL grippers provide spring force mechanisms for both external and internal gripping.

The grippers also incorporate innovative sensor technology, including magnetic switches, inductive sensors, or analog position measuring systems. Additionally, they feature an air purge connection and are drop in -compatible with standard universal grippers in the market.

C40 Inductive Coupler Features Inductive Signal Transmission

The C40 Inductive Coupling System, is designed for contact-free transmission of power and data between moving/rotating and stationary components, providing an alternative to standard mechanical pin , eliminating wear and maintenance concerns. This innovative solution provides seamless and efficient operations for robotic tools and pallet changers.

Ideal for EOAT application requirements, C40 features standard mounting plates for various market-available Tool-Changer systems. Key features include contact-free transmission of energy and signals, energy transmission of 15W (24V), signal transmission via IO-Link or 6xPNP, 2xAnalog 0-10Va cubical coupling system measuring 40x45x22 mm, and a transmission distance ranging from 0 to 3 mm.

The elimination of contact-based, wear-prone pin connections minimizes downtime and wear costs, ensuring maximum efficiency and productivity.

Complete System Provides Enhanced EOAT capabilities for Machine Tending

Together, this combination of the PRS Tool Changer, PX pneumatic grippers, and -C40 inductive Coupler not only ensure maximum efficiency and productivity but also minimizes downtime and wear costs, making the complete system a cost-effective investment for any manufacturing facility.
