Epsilon™ Automatic Tool Changers A breakthrough in the evolution of tool changers

Superior Features for Today’s Production Environments Locking mechanism as secure at 5 million cycles as first cycle Positive retract Improved size to payload ratio Minimal maintenance Couple/uncouple sensing Noise Emissions <70 dB(A) Lifetime warranty on coupling mechanism parts A host of support items complement our automatic tool changers. From high power to pneumatics to coolant and data communications, we offer everything needed to automatically 1 2 connect seamlessly. Epsilon™ has what you need to control these connections, all packaged 1 in attractive utility modules that mount neatly...

AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGERS RESIDE BETWEEN A ROBOTIC ARM AND ITS TOOLING allowing the robot to change tools and support utilities on the fly, with no work stoppage. A tool changer is productivity. The new Epsilon™ incorporates advantages of three previous generations of Applied Robotics, Inc. tool changers with enhancements for today’s faster and stronger robots. ■ Higher strength materials improves size to payload ratio ■ Minimal required maintenance provides low cost of ownership ■ Direct bolt to ISO 9409-1 patterns mit the need for robot adaptor plates ■ Couple/uncouple sensing available on all...

Applied Robotics cam lock vs. competitors’ ball and collet The Engineered Cam: The Applied Robotics cam lock design has stood the test of time and is known to provide superior reliability and performance. An engineered part, not just an off the shelf ball bearing, Our purpose built cam lock will outperform ball and collet configurations in every way. Reduced maintenance requirements and longevity of service ensure a lifetime cost of ownership far lower than any other design. In fact, the Applied Robotics cam lock is so robust and reliable, it has a life time guarantee. Here’s why. Wear: Over...

that exist in a factory, it’s possible for the balls to jam in the locked position, potentially pulling a tool unintentionally out of the stand. Rotational Repeatability: In addition to providing a positive lock/unlock between the robot and tool, it is of the utmost importance the two sides of a tool changer remain precisely aligned. If the mechanism has mechanical variance due to wear, the repetitive task the robot is performing will lose its repeatability. This is another area where the cam clearly and consistently outperforms a ball and collet arrangement. As seen in Figure 2, the cam provides...

Specialty Models Accessories ONE THING HOLDS TRUE in robotic automation...work spaces keep getting tighter and loads keep getting heavier. Here are some highlights of three models that address this trend. E125LP — Today’s metal fabricators need to handle larger loads than ever. Since press tending requires a small package in order to load, unload and position parts in a press brake. The Epsilon™ 125 Low Profile is ready to flex its muscles and get to work in your metal fab with a capacity of 225Kg (440lbs)! E125 — The Epsilon™ 125 is easy to spot because of its rectangular profile. Although not...
