1.1 Safety
1.1.1 General
The integrator installing the tool changer into the system must follow the safety demands stated in standards and provisions applicable in the country where the tool changer system is installed. The products are all prepared for CE-certification.
The user of the Robot System Products tool changer is responsible that law and directives applicable in respective countries, with regards to safety, are adhered to. The user is also responsible to guarantee that all safety devices are installed correctly.
WARNING! Never carry out service work on a robot that has not been taken out of operation. See safety information for the robot.
WARNING! Only perform work on grippers or tools attached to the tool changer if the air pressure is safely switched off.
WARNING! Be aware that tool changers and tool attachments are heavy and may cause personal injury and equipment damage if dropped.
NOTE! The tool changer shall always be in locked position, also when empty, to avoid unexpected locking if air pressure is lost.
1.1.2 Explanation of warnings
The warnings in this document are specific to the products in this manual. It is expected that the user also pay attention to certain notifications from the robot manufacturer and/or the manufacturers of other components used in the installation.
WARNING! The warning sign will make you aware that a situation could result in potential serious injury or damage to equipment.
NOTE! The note sign will alert you about something important to consider.

1.2 Description of RSP tool changers
Our tool changers enable robots to handle and switch between multiple tools. They are built to ensure reliable and smooth operation, being compact with low weight and robust design and incorporating many safety features. Depending on model and options, electrical signals, weld and servo power, data, water and compressed air are transferred from the robot side to the tool.
The patented locking device TrueConnect™ has a minimum of play and gives a practically, through the lifespan, absolute positioning repeatability. The principle behind the locking mechanism is the uniform distribution of load obtained by pressing looking balls into spherical grooves. In consequence, substantially larger positional tolerances are accepted during docking.
1.3 Complementary Equipment
Complementary equipment is described in separate documents.
Article Note
Valve unit Mounted at the rear of the upper arm. Shuts off the air
automatically during tool changing.
Cable and Hose Package Complete packages for most robots on the market ready to be
mounted without any modifications.
Connection kits In order to make electrical installation easier, connection kits
are available for the tool changer.
3D-models Available in Solid Works® and STEP-format.

2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 Description of tool changers and tool attachments
This document presents the Robot System Products TC1000-8 and TC1000-8E tool changers including tool attachments dedicated for material handling. Likewise presented are adaptation kits, connection kits to facilitate electrical installation and a tool stand kit.
The tool changer TC1000-8 transfers compressed air to the tool. It can be equipped with transfer of electrical signals, via spring loaded signal pins, to the tool attachment. The electrical version is designated ’E’. The tool changers TC1000-8 and TC1000-8E cannot transport fluids.
The spring loaded signal pins of TC1000-8E are placed and protected at the centre of the tool changer. The contact surface of the tool attachment and the signal pins are not in connection until at the very end of the docking cycle when the tool attachment is already properly aligned. This guarantees a minimum of wear of the contact surfaces.
The electrical unit is primarily intended for transfer of sensor signals from grippers. In addition it can be used for checking the presence and identifying tools by using signal jumpers and binary coding of signals on the tool attachment.
For other bolt circles adaptation plates between the tool changer and the turning disc on the robot may be needed. Such adaptation plates are available from RSP.

2.1.1 Coordinate System Definition
A tool changer adds load to the robot. If the arm and tool loads are not stated correctly during programming the behaviour of the robot and the wear of the equipment will be affected. Information about weight and centre of gravity can, in accordance with the co-ordinate system stated below, be found in the technical specification tables of the tool changer.
NOTE!
For the tool changer and tool changer with tool attachment, the origo is in the centre of the robot mounting flange.

o The right valve, called TC Close, will in passive position allow the air pressure to move
the piston in the direction locking the tool. In active position the air will be allowed to be evacuated from the cylinder without impacting the piston.
o The left valve, called TC Open, will in active position let the air pressure move the piston in the direction unlocking the tool. In passive position the air will be evacuated from this side of the cylinder, allowing the tool to be locked.
o As a consequence both valves must be activated to open the tool changer.
o The “Open TC 2” signal shall be interlocked with both a tool attachment (TA) present jumper and a tool stand switch indicating the following safe conditions for opening the tool changer:
* When there is no tool attachment mounted, the tool changer can be opened.
* When there is a tool attachment mounted, it is only possible to open the tool changer when it is positioned in the tool stand.
Piston status monitoring sensor
There are two sensors supervising the location of the piston.
o Signal “TC Opened” is high when the piston is in open position.
o Signal “TC Coupled” is high when the TC is connected to the TA present jumper.
V1.14 TC Open valve (NC)
V1.12 TC Close valve (NO)
Signal “TC Opened”
“Open TC 2” signal “Open TC 1” signal
32 M0711-1 ver. 2.4
Signal logic for picking up a tool
o Open the tool changer (set signals “Open TC 1” and “Open TC 2” to high).
o The signal “TC Opened” should be high and “TC Coupled” low. This means that the tool changer is opened and that the tool changer is allowed to move to the tool attachment.
o When the tool changer is in position for picking up the tool attachment, the tool changer should be closed (set signals “Open TC 1” and “Open TC 2” low).
o When signal “TC Coupled” is high and “TC Opened” low the tool changer is connected to the tool attachment and the tool changer can start to move.
o When the closed tool changer has been lifted 10mm, the signal from the switch or sensor mounted on the tool stand should be checked to confirm that the tool remains in the tool changer.
Set “Open TC 1” and “Open TC 2” to high
Is “TC Opened” high and “TC Coupled” low?
Move robot to tool stand
Is robot in position in tool stand?
Reset “Open TC 1” and “Open TC 2”
Is “TC Coupled” high and “TC Opened” low?
Move robot up 10 mm
Is tool stand indicating “No tool in stand”?
Continue work cycle
Signal logic for leaving a tool in tool stand
o Opening of tool changer should only be possible when tool is positioned in a tool stand. A switch or sensor mounted on the tool stand should give a signal that allows the tool changer to open.
o Set signals “Open TC 1” and “Open TC 2” to high when the tool attachment is positioned in the tool stand.
o When signal “TC Opened” is high and “TC Coupled” low, the tool changer is opened and the tool changer can start to move.
o When the opened tool changer has been lifted 10mm, the signal from the switch or sensor mounted on the tool stand should be checked to confirm that the tool remains in the tool stand.

3.7 Hints
Programming
The following will ensure a correct docking position.
Action
1 Attach a spare tool attachment (without the external air module) to the tool changer.
2 Position the spare tool attachment above the tool attachment that is mounted on the
tool.
3 The right position is found when the tool attachments are parallel, centered and the
engraved arrows are on the same line.
4 Save the position. The robot can move to this position with high speed.
5 Dismount the spare tool attachment.
6 Go back to the saved position and move the tool changer (in axis 6 direction) the
remaining distance to the tool attachment (mounted on the tool).
7 Save the position. The robot should move to this position with low speed.
Sparking
WARNING! Electrical signals and power must be switched off and disconnected when docking the tool attachment. This is to prevent sparking between signal pins and tool attachment.
Electrical installation
Connection kits for the tool changer and tool attachment are available (see section 2.2.3).
Tool stand
NOTE! To guarantee reliability and a long service-life for the tool changer, the tool stand must be stable, both in terms of its design and attachment.
Tool Identification
