What does ATI tool changer work with?

It works with Schunk grippers, ATI force torque sensor, FANUC R 30iB, ABB IRC5, Photoneo bin picking.

What should I watch for with ATI tool changer?

Reduces available payload and reach by its own weight and length. Pass-through connections must match all tool utilities needed. Tool stand design adds cell footprint and cycle time for swaps.

ATI tool changer

Automatic robotic tool changer that lets a single robot swap between grippers or process tools without manual intervention.

ATI's tool changers use a master-tool pair mounted between the robot wrist and the end effector, with pneumatic locking and pass-through connections for air, electrical signals, and in some models fieldbus data. This lets one robot serve multiple functions in a cell by picking up a different tool from a stand as the job requires.

Tool changers are common in flexible manufacturing cells that need to run several part variants or process steps through a single robot, since buying and installing a separate robot for each tool would cost more and take up more floor space.

Sizing the tool changer correctly for the combined payload of the tool and part is important, since an undersized unit reduces the effective payload and reach available to the application.
