Robot System Products tool changers are designed to maximize the flexibility and reliability of your robot fleet. BIBUS has a wide range of automatic tool changers, with load capacities of up to 1,250 kg. The tool changers can handle continuously changing movements while maintaining safety and reliability. Tool changers combine robustness and high safety with low weight and compactness.

Tool changers give production lines with a single or a few robots the ability to perform different functions. This allows the robot to, for example, pick up a door, put the tool away and grab a new tool to spot weld-the door. The major advantage of using tool changers is that there is no need to purchase multiple robots with a high investment cost. One robot can do the work of multiple robots, albeit less quickly but more cost-effectively.

Depending on the model and options, electrical signals, welding and servo power, data, water, and compressed air are transferred from the robot side to the tool. The patented TrueConnect™ locking system has minimal backlash and, due to its lifetime, provides almost absolute positioning repeatability.

The principle behind the locking mechanism is the even distribution of the load, obtained by pressing balls into spherical grooves. As a result, significantly larger position tolerances are accepted during the docking process. RSP tool changers are designed to allow you to perform continuous tool changing day in and day out.

In addition to automatic tool changers, you will also find manual tool changers in the BIBUS range. These are used for manual, simple, and fast assembly, disassembly, and reassembly of larger tools.

For long life and positional accuracy

.

All of our tool changers feature the patented locking system TrueConnect™. It keeps backlash to a minimum and ensures absolute repeatability of alignment throughout its life.

Thanks to the unique design, no exact alignment is required for coupling with different tools. The principle behind the locking mechanism is the even distribution of load, which is achieved by pressing locking balls into spherical grooves in the tool holder.
