Model: SWS

SCHUNK Inc.

A pneumatic tool changing system improves your application's versatility, efficiency, cycle time, and process reliability. Grippers, tools, and other end-effectors are changed quickly with the help of automated tool changing systems.

Automatic exchange of the end effector (e.g. gripper, pallets, vacuum gripping systems, pneumatically or electrically driven tools, welding guns, etc.) increases the flexibility of your robot.
The quick-change system (SWS) consists of a quick-change master (SWK) and a quick-change adapter (SWA). The SWK is mounted onto the robot, and couples the SWA mounted onto your tool. A pneumatically driven locking piston, with its patented design, ensures that the connection is secure. After coupling, pneumatic and electric feed-throughs automatically supply your robot tool.
