Product Features

Features

  • The Discrete Signal Integrated Valve module allows for control of the Tool Changer and discrete signal pass-through to the End-of-Arm Tooling.
  • 37-pin DDK, MS-style connector provided for customer interface.
  • An integrated, single or double solenoid valve (available on the Jxx valve adapter with pass-through module) controls the Tool Changer locking mechanism.
  • NPN (sinking-type) Ready-to-Lock (R1 and R2), Lock, and Unlock sensor inputs supported.
  • Up to 25 pass-through signals available for customer use.
  • A flexible boot surrounds the pin block and seals the connection from moisture while coupled.
  • Patented Tool Stand Interlock (TSI) technology is provided through a connector on the Tool module. Integration of a mechanical limit switch will allow the integrated solenoid valve to uncouple the Tool Changer ONLY when the Tool is in the Stand.
  • Tool-ID (0-7) available.
  • Compact design package.
