ATI Industrial Automation Robotics and Tool Changers
ATI Industrial Automation Robotics and Tool Changers
ATI Industrial Automation is the largest supplier of robotics in the United States. They offer a complete line of robots, tool changers and automation kits. These products are ideal for many applications and industries. They include QC-29 Robotic Tool Changer, CRX-Ready End-Effector Kits, and Mini43LP Force/Torque Sensors.
QC-29 Robotic Tool Changer
ATI Industrial Automation has released their newest entrant in the robotic tool changer arena: the QC-29. This is a multi-functional robotic tool changer that is designed to optimize collaborative robot applications. The QC-29 boasts a compact design, along with a pneumatically actuated locking mechanism. The tool changer is capable of carrying payloads up to 35 pounds. In addition, it’s able to attach to both 50 mm and 40 mm robot wrists. The tool changer is an ideal choice for any UR robot model.
ATI Industrial Automation is a North Carolina company founded in 1989. The company designs and manufactures a variety of robotic and mechanical accessories for the industrial market. They also design and manufacture manual tool changers, compliance devices, and multi-axis force/torque sensing systems. The QC-29 is ATI’s first standard tool changer and comes complete with three mounting flats. Its patented Fail-Safe design ensures secure attachment of end of arm tools. In addition, the QC-29 is compatible with ATI’s large collection of Standard Utility Modules.
The QC-29 also boasts a futuristic look. In fact, it’s more than a tool changer: it’s a robotic augmentation platform that brings rugged technology to the 25-35 kg payload class. As a result, it’s the most versatile tool changer in its class. In addition, the tool changer’s rectangular design makes it easy to install and service.
CRX-Ready End-Effector Kits
ATI Industrial Automation has developed end-of-arm tooling kits that are compatible with FANUC’s CRX Series collaborative robot arms. These kits enable tasks such as machine tending, assembly, part inspection, and more. The kits can be easily adjusted to meet new applications. ATI’s kits include everything needed to get the application up and running, including the end-effector and software. The kits also include options for force sensing and automatic tool changing.
ATI’s CRX-Ready Material Removal Tools are designed to work with a wide range of materials. Featured tools include the RCV-250 Radially-Compliant Deburring Tool, the CDB Compliant Deburring Blade, and the Axially-Compliant Orbital Sander. Each tool has a pneumatically-controlled compliance, allowing for high-feed rates and uniform quality regardless of orientation. ATI’s Material Removal Tools also include a variety of force-sensing options to help increase productivity.
ATI Industrial Automation also offers Robotic Tool Changers, which provide automated tool changes that improve the flexibility of manufacturing robots. The newest standard model is the QC-7 Robotic Tool Changer. It features five built-in air ports and a pneumatically actuated locking mechanism. The QC-7 also offers options for integrated Lock/Unlock sensors. It also maintains ultra-high repeatability over millions of production cycles.
ATI Industrial Automation also offers end-effector kits that are compatible with FANUC’s C-Series and B-Series collaborative robot arms. These kits provide a quick and simple way to increase the flexibility of collaborative robotic automation.
Mini43LP Force/Torque Sensor
ATI Industrial Automation has unveiled the ultra-thin Mini43LP Force/Torque Sensor, which is a technological feat of miniature proportions. It is less than eight millimeters tall and offers high-precision force sensing and is a perfect fit for smaller automated applications. It integrates easily with miniature robot models from Mecademic and Yaskawa. It also features an angled cable exit and a bolt-down mounting pattern.
The ATI Mini43LP is an ultra-lightweight, low-profile device that’s also highly rugged, making it a worthy candidate for use in challenging applications. Its high-precision force sensing capability allows customers to better optimize their work envelopes. It’s also a well-suited candidate for use in small, delicate operations. It also includes a Mounting Adapter Plate. The Mini43LP is compatible with all ATI communication interfaces, making it a prime candidate for integration with various robotics.
The ATI Mini43LP Force/Torque Sensor features the aforementioned mini-bot, but the real magic lies in its unique mounting design. The patented bolt-down mounting pattern makes it an ideal candidate for applications requiring a highly reliable mounting solution. The Mini43LP also features a large through-hole and a directional cable exit. Its unique design allows it to integrate easily with miniature robot models from Mecademic, Yaskawa and other manufacturers. It also offers a surprisingly long cable length, which helps ensure that the sensor is always in reach when needed.
