Safety
1.1.1. General
Prior to purchase and installation, the customer should verify that the Tool Changer
selected is rated for the maximum loads and moments expected during operation. Refer to
product specifications in Section 7 of each module of this manual or contact ATI for
assistance. Particular attention should be paid to dynamic loads caused by robot
acceleration and deceleration. These forces can be many times the value of static forces
in high acceleration or deceleration situations.
The customer is responsible for ensuring that the area between the Master and Tool sides
is clear of foreign objects during mating and subsequent coupling. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury to personnel.
DANGER: The gap between the Master and Tool sides is a pinch point. All personnel
should be prevented from placing any part of their body or clothing in the gap,
especially during actuation of the locking mechanism.
The customer is responsible for understanding the function of the Tool Changer and
implementing the proper hardware and/or software to operate the Tool Changer safely.
The Tool Changer should be controlled such that there is no chance of locking or
unlocking in a position that would endanger personnel and/or equipment. If the Tool
Changer is specified with Lock/Unlock (L/U) and Ready-to-Lock (RTL) sensing
capability, the status should be monitored and proper interlocks applied to prevent injury
to personnel and equipment.
All pneumatic fittings and tubing must be capable of withstanding the repetitive motions
of the application without failing. The routing of electrical and pneumatic lines must
minimize the possibility of stress/strain, kinking, rupture, etc. Failure of critical electrical
or pneumatic lines to function properly may result in injury to personnel and equipment.
All electrical power, pneumatic and fluid circuits should be disconnected during
servicing.
Caution indicates that a situation could result in damage to the product and/or the other system
components.

Product Overview
A Tool Changer enhances the flexibility and reliability of a robotic cell. Robotic Tool Changers
are used in automated Tool change applications as well as manual Tool change operations.
Robotic Tool Changers also provide a method for quick Tool change for maintenance purposes.
The Quick-Change robotic Tool Changer has been designed to incorporate high strength in a
small, low-weight package. The Tool change system consists of two primary parts: the Master
plate and the Tool plate. The Master plate is mounted to a robot while the customer supplied endeffector is typically attached to the Tool plate. The Master plate is typically mounted to the robot
with an optional interface plate (SIP or RIP).
The optional Sensor Interface Plate (SIP) plate may also be used for detecting the lock condition
of the Tool Changer and/or Tool plate presence. The use of a SIP is highly recommended for
achieving the highest level of safety and reliability
In operation, the robot can be programmed to select the desired end-effector by coupling the
Master plate to the Tool plate. Electrical signals, pneumatic power and fluids can be transferred to
the end-effector(s) through the Master plate and Tool plate by optional modules and ports. See the
respective manuals for these options for more details on their operation.
The ATI Tool Changer has been designed to provide extremely long life with little maintenance.

Optional Modules
There are (4) flats available for mounting of the optional modules for support of various
utility pass-through, such as signal, fluid/air, and power.
For assistance in choosing the right modules for your particular application, visit our website
to see what is available or contact an ATI Sales Representative directly.
In general, flat A is reserved for an air/valve adapter module and a control/signal module.
Modules for flats B, C, or D are interchangeable to suit the application or the dress-out
required.
The optional modules are mounted to the Master or Tool plate using a common ledge
mounting feature. Only (2) M6 SHCS fasteners need to be unscrewed in order to remove the
module from the Master/Tool plate. A secondary mounting support, called a cleat, is
factory-installed to the Master and Tool plate on each flat that is occupied with a module. The
cleats provide additional module support for those situations when hoses or cables may
inadvertently be snagged or pulled and may otherwise result in damage to the module.
If modules are added to a tool changer in the field, then the Master and Tool plates may have
to be uninstalled to facilitate the cleat installation.

2.1
Master Interface
The Master assembly is attached to the robot arm. The Master plate is designed with
mounting features such as a boss and/or bolt and dowel holes. These features are used to
accurately position and secure the Master to the robot. A robot interface plate (RIP) is utilized
to adapt the Master plate to a specific robot flange that is not compatible with the Master
plate mounting features. Custom RIPs are available upon request. (Refer to drawings in
Section B-8 of this manual for technical information on mounting features.)

If the customer chooses to design and build a robot interface plate, the following should be
considered:
The interface plate should be designed to include bolt holes for mounting, dowel pins
and a boss for accurate positioning on the robot and Master plate.
The thickness of the interface plate must be great enough to provide the necessary
thread engagement for the mounting bolts.
The interface plate must be properly designed to provide rigid mounting to the
Master plate boss area.
The plate design should take into account clearances required for tool changer
module attachments and accessories.
2.2
Tool Interface
The Tool plate is attached to customer-supplied tooling. The Tool plate is designed with
mounting features such as a recess and/or bolt and dowel holes. These features are used to
accurately position and secure the end-effector. Most often an end-effector interface plate is

B-5
The interface plate should be designed to include bolt holes for mounting, dowel
pins, and a boss that mates with Tool body recess for accurate positioning.
The thickness of the interface plate must be great enough to provide the necessary
thread engagement for the mounting bolts.
The plate design should take into account clearances required for tool changer
module attachments and accessories.
The interface plate should be designed with a hole in its center to allow for manually
returning the locking mechanism to the unlocked position under adverse conditions
(i.e. unintended loss of power and/or air pressure). The center access hole should be
kept small [minimum recommended hole diameter: 25.4mm (1)] to prevent
debris from contaminating the locking mechanism while operating in dirty
environments. Even greater protection will result if the center standard race cover
with removable access plug is used. [Note: Thru hole diameter in plate: 14.3mm
(.563). Grommet outside diameter: 22.5mm (.88)].
2.3
CAUTION: Tool stand design is critical to proper operation of the tool changer. Improperly
designed tool stands can cause misalignments that will cause jamming and/or excessive
wear of tool changer components.
CAUTION: During coupling and lock-up the tool stand must allow for movement (float) in a
plane parallel to the mating surfaces of the Master plate and Tool plates, and in a direction
perpendicular to this plane, towards the Master plate.
In most cases, the Tools are stored in a tool stand when not being used by the robot. During
coupling and lock-up, the tool stand must allow for movement (float) in a plane parallel with
the mating surfaces of the Master plate and Tool plates (X and Y). Even slight misalignment
between the Master plate and Tool plate can generate high forces during lock-up if the Tool
plate is not allowed to float into place during lock-up. These high forces can cause excessive
wear and even jamming of the end-effector and robot. The degree of float required depends
on the accuracy of the robots positioning and the repeatability of the Tool location in the tool
stand during lock-up. See Figure 2.2 and Table 2.3 for recommended maximum allowable
float (offsets) prior to coupling. The tool stand should be designed to minimize misalignment
during coupling and uncoupling. In some cases, greater offsets than shown in Table 2.3 can
be accommodated by the Master and Tool plates, but will increase wear.
Ideally, the Tool should be hanging vertically in the tool stand so that gravity acts to
uncouple the Tool plate from the Master plate during unlocking. It is possible to design tool
stands that hold Tools in the horizontal position, but care must be taken that the necessary
compliance is provided during coupling and uncoupling. In general, horizontal-position
tool stands cause more wear on the locking mechanism and locating features of the Tool and
tool stand.

B-6
Tool stands may also need to incorporate means for covering Tools and electrical modules to
protect them in dirty environments, such as grinding or welding. Alternatively, locating tool
stands in areas shielded from weld spatter, fluids, adhesives, or other debris would eliminate
the need for tool covers.

2.4
CAUTION: Do not use the tool changer in the fail-safe condition for extended periods
of time. Do not transport the tool changer in the fail-safe condition. Possible damage to
the locking mechanism could occur.
3. Operation
The Master locking mechanism is pneumatically-driven to couple and uncouple with the bearing
race on the Tool plate. The Master plate utilizes air ports from a signal control module or air supply
block to provide lock and unlock pressure to the locking mechanism.
ATTENTION: All tool changers are initially lubricated using MobilGrease XHP222 Special
grease. The end user must apply additional lubricant to the locking mechanism components
and alignment pins prior to start of service (See Section 4.2). Tubes of lubricant for this
purpose are shipped with every tool changer. Note: MobilGrease XHP222 Special is a NLGI
#2 lithium complex grease with molybdenum disulfide.
3.1
Coupling Sequence
CAUTION: The locking mechanism must be in the unlock position when attempting to
couple the tool changer. Failure to adhere to this condition may result in damage to
the unit and/or the robot.
Position the Master above the Tool and move the Master into locking position. The mating
surfaces of the Master and Tool should be parallel and not touching. Make sure that the
Pinnacle Park 1031 Goodworth Drive Apex, NC 27539 Tel: 919.772.0115 Fax: 919.772.8259 www.ati-ia.com Email: info@ati-ia.com
B-8
CAUTION: No-TouchTM locking technology allows the unit to couple with a separation
distance between the Master and Tool. Direct contact of the Master and Tool mating
surfaces is not suggested or required just prior to coupling. Contact may result in
damage to the unit and/or the robot.
3.2
Fail-Safe Operation
In the event of air supply loss to the locking mechanism, the tool changer will not uncouple.
A slight separation between the Master and Tool plates occurs just after air loss, but at this
point the locking balls become trapped and cannot move without air pressure being applied to
the Unlock port. This feature provides the tool changer with a fail-safe mechanism.
ATIs patented fail-safe design prevents the Tool plate from being released in the event of
air-pressure loss to the Lock port, thereby increasing safety and reliability. Positional
accuracy may not be maintained during air loss but will be regained once air pressure is reestablished to the Lock port.

B-9
!
3.3
CAUTION: Do not use the tool changer in the fail-safe condition for extended periods
of time. Do not transport the tool changer in the fail-safe condition. Possible damage to
the locking mechanism could occur.
Uncoupling
The tool changer should be positioned in the Tool Stand in the same location as that when
coupling took place.
CAUTION: This tool changer may be equipped with a Tool Stand Interlock (TSI)
feature that physically breaks the Unlock solenoid circuit. Use of the TSI will prevent
any unwanted Unlock software commands from being recognized until the circuit is
made.
Turn the Lock output off (for double solenoid valve versions).
Issue the Unlock command. Air is supplied to the locking mechanism to uncouple the tool
changer.
A sufficient delay must be programmed between Unlock command being activated and
reading the state of the Locked/Unlocked signals, so that the locking process is completed
before checking the locked state.
Read the Locked and Unlocked signals.
The Unlocked signal should read on (true) and the Locked signal should read off (false).
Any other condition indicates a problem and the robot program should be halted.
Once the Lock and Unlock signals are verified to be in the proper state, the Master plate may
be moved away from the Tool plate in the axial direction.
The robot and Master plate can now proceed to another Tool for coupling and subsequent
operations.
4. Maintenance
ATTENTION: The cleanliness of the work environment strongly influences the trouble-free
operation of the changer. The dirtier the environment, the greater the need for protection
against debris. Protection of the entire EOAT, the master, the tool and all of the modules may
be necessary. Protective measures include the following: 1) placement of tools stands away
from debris generators, 2) covers incorporated into the tool stands (see Section 2.3) and 3)
guards, deflectors, air curtains and similar devices built into the EOAT and the tool stand.
4.1

Balls/Alignment Pins/Holes/Bearing Race
Inspect for lubrication and wear. A NLGI #2, lithium-based grease with molybdenum disulfide
additive is suggested for locking mechanism and alignment pin lubrication. Over time, lubricants
can become contaminated with process debris. Therefore, it is recommended to thoroughly clean
the existing grease and replace with new as needed. See Section 4.2.
Excessive alignment pin/bushing wear may be an indication of poor robot position during
pickup/drop-off. Adjust robot position as needed. Check tool stand for wear and alignment
problems.
Wear on the balls/bearing race could be an indication of excessive loading.
Mounting Hardware/Interface Connections
Inspect for proper torque and interference or wear, abrasions, cuts of hoses, and electrical cables.
Tighten and correct as required.
O-rings/Rubber Bushings
Inspect for wear, abrasion, and cuts.
Exposed o-rings and rubber bushings may be subject to damage during normal operation.
Replace damaged o-rings and rubber bushings as needed.
Electrical Contacts
Inspect for wear and abrasion.
Exposed contacts may be subject to damage during normal operation.
Clear debris from the area of the contacts using compressed air.
Do not directly clean contacts as abrasion may occur and the performance of the contact may be
compromised.

3. Product Information
The DB10 modules enable the customer to control and communicate with the Tool Changer through a network
using standard DeviceNet protocol (www.odva.org). A DeviceNet node is established on the Master module,
but not on the Tool. Control of the Tool Changer is realized through the Master Node along with the reporting
of various Tool Changer I/O. The Tool module supports Tool-ID reported through the Master and functions as
a pass-through for DeviceNet and Auxiliary Power signals to downstream equipment.
The DB10 modules employ standard Mini connectors, 5-pin for DeviceNet communications and power and 4-pin
for Auxiliary Power. Please refer to drawings in Section 9 for specific module wiring and connector interface
information.
Prior to using the Tool Changer and the DeviceNet modules, various hardware settings must be configured.
Communicating with the DeviceNet Modules requires knowledge of DeviceNet standards and operation.
MAC ID
The MAC ID is set by either hardware or software configuration. The range is 0-63. In order
for the MAC ID to be set by software, all DIP switch positions must be on. If the MAC ID is
set by software, the Baud Rate must also be set by software. Refer to Figure 3.1 for detailed
information on DIP switch setup.
3.1.2
Baud Rate
Baud Rate is set by either hardware or software configuration. The possible settings are 125,
250 or 500Kbps. In order for the Baud Rate to be set by software, DIP switch positions 7 and
8 must be on. See Figure 3.1 for DIP switch setup.
3.1.3
Termination Resistor
When DIP switch position 9 is on, a 120 resistor is placed across the CAN High and Low
lines and termination to the CAN network is provided. If switch 9 is off, termination must be
supplied by another device or through a termination cap at the end of the network cable.

TSI Overview
The DB10 module relies on the status of the Ready-to-Lock (RTL) sensors and the TSIV
input to determine when it is appropriate to unlatch the Tool. The RTL sensors indicate if the
Master and Tool are coupled while the TSIV input indicates when the TSI mechanical switch
on the Tool is actuated, thereby indicating that the Tool is in the stand. In order to allow the
Tool Changer to uncouple when a Tool is not present, a relay circuit (RTL Relay) in parallel

4. Operation
A recommended Sequence of Operations is provided in Appendix A of this manual. This procedure is to be
used as a general guide when programming a robot or PLC for use with a Tool Changer and DB10
control/signal modules. This procedure is intended for "automatic" modes used during normal application
processes.
5. Maintenance
The DeviceNet modules are designed to provide a long life with little maintenance required.
Contact pins on the DeviceNet module should be inspected and cleaned periodically to ensure electrical contact
is maintained. Care should be taken not to bend or pull out the contacts when cleaning. Do not use an abrasive
media to clean the contact pins as erosion may occur to the contact surface. ATI recommends using a stiff
bristle, nylon brush to clean the pins on the master and tool modules, ATI part number 3690-0000064-60.
If the Tool Changer is being used in dirty environments (e.g. welding or deburring applications) care should be
taken to limit the exposure of the Tool Changer. Unused Tool assemblies should be covered to prevent debris
from settling on the mating surface. Also, the Master assembly should be exposed for only a short period of
time during Tool change and down time. In this instance the customer should determine a suitable inspection
schedule.
Detailed assembly drawings are provided in Section 9 of this manual.

6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for troubleshooting information:
Symptom
Verify that ball bearings are not moving freely. Clean and lubricate as needed
(see Section 5 - Maintenance).
Check air supply.
Check that exhaust port is properly vented (check muffler).
Verify that DeviceNet and DeviceNet signals are operating correctly.
Verify that the Master and Tool are within the specified No-Touch zone when
attempting to lock.
Loss of DeviceNet
Communication
Verify that the LATCH command has been issued by the robot.
Verify that the Master and Tool are fully coupled.
Inspect DeviceNet Module contact pins for debris/wear.
Loss of DeviceNet power on the Master-side will cause loss of Aux. Power to
the Tool. The Arc Prevention Circuit relies on DeviceNet power to operate.
Restore DeviceNet Power to the Master to restore Aux. Power to Tool.

2. Installation
The air/valve adapters are typically installed by ATI prior to shipment. The steps below outline the field
installation or removal as required.
DANGER: Power and air should always be removed prior to maintenance or repair.
2.1
2.2
Installing
1.
It may be necessary to clean the mounting surface on the tool changer prior to installing the
module in order to remove any debris that may be present.
2.
(2) O-rings are required on the Master tool changer interface. Make sure these o-rings are
present and lightly lubricated.
3.
Using the ledge feature as a guide place the module adjacent to the A tool changer mounting
surface. Align the module with the tool changer using the dowels in the bottom of the ledge
feature. Apply Loctite 242 to the supplied M6 SHCS fasteners and tighten to 110 in-lbs.
4.
Make electrical and pneumatic connections up to the air/valve adapter housing as required.
Ensure that the connectors are cleaned prior to being secured as appropriate.
Removing
5.
If there is a control/signal module piggy-backed on the air/valve adapter this may need to be
removed prior to removal of the air/valve adapter. Disconnect any electrical or pneumatic
connections to the control/signal module and air/valve adapter as required. Also, proximity
sensor and valve cables may or may not need to be disconnected.
6.
Remove the air/valve adapter mounting fasteners and pull the module off the tool changer.
7.
Make sure that the o-rings are retained at the tool changer master mounting interface.
3. Operation
Air adapters are supplied with the tool changer when the customer is providing a valve for pneumatic control
of the air supply for locking and unlocking. The customer simply needs to plumb up to the Lock (L) and
Unlock (U) connections provided on the air adapter. It is important that the air adapter be supplied with
clean, dry, non-lubricated air supplied between 60 and 100 psi (4.56.9 Bar) and filtered at 50 microns or
better.
DANGER: Failure to use a 4-way valve and properly vent to atmosphere may cause the
locking mechanism to operate incorrectly and may cause the Quick-Change to not lock or
unlock as expected. This could result in damage to the product, attached tooling or
personnel.
Valve adapters are supplied with the tool changer to provide a fully integrated solution. The customer is only
required to supply the valve adapter with a single air supply. Again, it is important that clean, dry, nonlubricated air supplied between 60 and 100 psi (4.5 6.9 Bar) and filtered at 50 microns or better is provided.
An electrical connection is provided for valve control as detailed in drawings in Section 8 of this manual. In
most cases, control of this valve is integrated with an ATI-supplied control/signal module that is piggy-backed
onto the valve adapter.

4. Maintenance
Little or no maintenance is required for the air adapters as they consist of no wear components.
Likewise, the valve adapters should require little maintenance. The only wear components are the valve itself
and an exhaust muffler. Under normal operating conditions, the valve will last for millions of cycles.

2.2
It may be necessary to clean the mounting surface on the tool changer prior to installing the module
in order to remove any debris that may be present.
Align the module to the holes in the tool changer mounting surface using the dowels that are
pressed into the module housing. Push the module up flush with the mounting surface. Apply
Loctite-242 (or similar) thread locker to the socket head cap screws and tighten to 89 in-lbs. using
a hex key.
Connect customer plumbing to the module.
Removal
1.
2.
All customer plumbing connections to the module need to be purged and disconnected. Once the
supply lines have been turned off, the self-sealing valves on the module can be manually actuated
to purge the line pressure. Cover the valves with a rag prior to purging in order to keep the air from
impinging upon any person.
Remove the socket head cap screws and pull the module off the tool changer.
3. Operation
The air modules are designed to pass air utilities from the Master to the Tool for use by the customers tooling.
Self-sealing valves are provided so that the air circuits do not discharge during tool change and also so that the
circuits upstream of the tool changer do not have to be closed down prior to tool change.
D-3
4. Maintenance
Once installed the operation of the air modules is generally trouble free. Periodically the condition of the selfsealing valves should be checked. Replace any damaged or degraded components as necessary. Any
contamination in or around the mating surfaces of the modules should be removed with industrial contact
cleaner. During inspection, ensure that the fasteners attaching the modules to the tool changer are secure.
The modules may be field serviced as needed. The following list describes how to perform various operations.
DANGER: Power and air should always be removed prior to maintenance or repair.

The self-sealing valve assembly (stem, check valve, spring and seals) can be inspected by
removing the stem using a 2.5mm hex key. Be careful not to strip the hex on the stem during
removal.
Once the stem is removed all seals can be inspected and replaced as required.
The spring in the assembly should be inspected and replaced as required.
The stem should be inspected for straightness and replaced if bent.
To re-install the valve assembly, all components should be arranged in order as they were
removed. (See drawings in Section 8.)
Loctite-222 (or similar) thread locker should be applied to the threaded end of the stem and tighten
to 10 in-lbs. and the stem re-installed. The piston will have to be pushed down flush with the
mating surface in order to get the stem thread started. It is important that the U-cup seal around the
check valve is not damaged during this step. A small, flat-head screwdriver can be used to ensure
that the U-cup seal is fully located in the recess and not folded over itself prior to screwing in the
stem.

The self-sealing valve assembly (plug, spring, piston and seals) can be inspected by removing the
plug on the bottom of the air module using either a spanner wrench or 8mm hex key. It may be
necessary to remove the tool side air module to have access to the plug. (Refer to the Section 2
Installation for instructions for module removal.)
Once the plug is removed all seals can be inspected and replaced as required.
The spring in the assembly should be inspected and replaced as required.
The plug may contain a dowel pin. The pin should be inspected for straightness and replaced if
bent.
To re-install the valve assembly, all components should be arranged in order as they were
removed. (See drawings in Section 8.)
Care should be taken not to damage the O-ring around the plug base during installation. Apply
Magnalube to the o-ring and torque the plug to 20 in-lbs.
