Safety Precautions
IV
Be sure to check the following items before starting the installation procedure:
(a) Welding power source, control power source and driving power source are all
shut off before work.
(b) All hydraulic, pneumatic, and water pressure sources are off before work.
(c) All residual hydraulic, pneumatic, and water pressure is released before
work.
(d) Note that some connectors and cables may be hot depending
on their specifications.
Turning the power supply or hydraulic/pneumatic/water pressure source ON
during the installation work without notifying the operator(s) may create an
extremely dangerous situation. Establish a procedure to always prevent such
events for safety in work areas.
Use positioning pins when you put the ATC on robots and tools.
If it is installed without using the positioning pin, the position may
move to wrong position during use, the ATC cannot be connected and
separated reliably, and a serious accident such as dropping may occur.
If the positioning pins are unavoidable, the customer should take
measures to prevent the tool from falling due to abnormal chucking or
unchucking.
Example of countermeasures when the positioning pin cannot be used
・Perform daily inspections (checking misalignment, scratches or abnormalities
on each part such as taper pin, bush, cam, lock parts, grease application)
・Slow down the chucking / unchucking operation as much as possible
・Reliably capture the interlock signal.
Especially for the presence sensor of the stand, move to the next step after
confirming that the presence sensor of the tool is in the ON.
Be sure to install specified parts. In addition, when you replace parts, install
parts to their original positions and be sure to perform inspections in accordance
with certain procedures.
Ensure that the rated load (moment torque) does not exceed product's rated
value. Otherwise, not only the product functionality and life may be adversely
affected but also unexpected accident may occur.
Ensure that the electric load applied to the signal pin and electrode does not
exceed the rated voltage and allowable current. Otherwise, not only the product
functionality and life may be adversely affected but also unexpected accident
may occur.
Supply water and air to hydraulic/pneumatic, fall prevention system, and ATC
chuck/unchuck ports so as to maintain pressure within the rated range.
Otherwise, not only the product functionality and life may be adversely affected
but also unexpected accident may occur.

V
Make sure there is no chips of sealing tape or other dusts getting into the water
supply, air supply, fall prevention system, and ATC chuck/unchuck port.
Otherwise, not only the product function and life may be adversely affected but
also unexpected accident may occur.
- To install a robot adaptor, set the robot mounting surface facing up, rather than
horizontal. Then robot adaptor installation becomes relatively safer.
- When installing a tool adaptor, set tools on the tool stand. Then tool adaptor
installation becomes relatively safer.
Switch air supply to a chuck/unchuck port in the detached state to check that
the coupling cam motions are correct. Operating without doing this may cause
tool falling, product damage, or unexpected accident.
When manually switching air supply of the chuck/unchuck port, set tools on the
tool stand. Otherwise, improper motions or piping may cause tool falling, product
damage, or unexpected accident.
Arrange cables and tubes without causing catching during robot motions.
Otherwise, the ATC and its functional modules may be damaged.
e) Precautions for teaching
With the tool detached, check that the interlock signals output from the ATC are
correct. Operating without doing this may cause tool falling, product damage, or
unexpected accident.
For chuck/unchuck, switch air supply for chuck/unchuck with the coupling
planes of robot side and tool side adaptors are horizontally coherent on the tool
stand. Otherwise, an unexpected accident may occur due to tool falling, in
addition to damage to the ATC and its functional modules due to prying.
When the welding power is on, there is a risk of electricity leakage. Do not touch
any component connected with the ATC.
f) Precautions for Long-Term Shutdown or Transportation
g)Precautions for disposal
When disposing of this product, please comply with laws and regulations.

The failsafe mechanism serves to prevent falling. Do not continue using the
product when the air pressure is decreased. Otherwise, the gap between contact
surfaces of robot and tool adaptor is increased and unexpected accident may occur.
When the tool is left coupled by the failsafe mechanism only for a prolonged period
of time, the gap between contact surfaces of robot and tool adaptor is increased
by vibration, etc. and unexpected accident such as falling may occur.
If it is absolutely necessary to stop the air supply for a long time with the tool
coupled, be sure to take measures against falling, e.g. fixing it by rope, etc.

1.Overview of the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)

1.Overview of the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)
A pneumatic-driven system is employed for the Nitta ATC. Basically, the ATC consists of 2
components: a robot adaptor and a tool adaptor.
The ATC is compatible with all the robot tools with respective adaptor plates (optional). In
addition, the ATC and its functional modules are equipped with transmission mechanisms such
as a signal pin to transmit signals and power source to the tool, and pneumatic port.
[ Transmission Mechanism ]
The ATC has an electric signal pin to transmit/receive signals between the robot and tool. For
the number of pins, refer to the drawing.
Robot Side
Robot Adaptor
The robot adaptor is a basic component of the ATC. Each robot adaptor is equipped with
sensors that transmit signals (chuck end signal, unchuck end signal and coupling check end
signal) to communicate its attachment conditions.
[ Chuck/Unchuck Mechanism ]
The cam mechanism to connect a robot adaptor and tool adaptor together is of a special
structure, which is designed to automatically compensate for misalignment at the time of
jointing and wear allowance to be generated over time. These cams are operated by an air
cylinder and designed not to come off under temporary loading above the rated load.
Under such load, the contact surfaces of the robot adaptor and the tool adaptor will be slightly
separated, but the adaptors will never be completely separated. Also, these cams are driven by
a spring-return pneumatic cylinder, as a fail-safe mechanism to prevent falling of the tool
adaptor even in the event of sharp reduction of the air pressure.
The failsafe mechanism serves to prevent falling. Do not continue using the
product when the air pressure is decreased. Otherwise, the gap between
contact surfaces of robot and tool adaptor is increased and unexpected
accident may occur.
When the tool is left coupled by the failsafe mechanism only for a prolonged
period of time, the gap between contact surfaces of robot and tool adaptor is
increased by vibration, etc. and unexpected accident such as falling may
occur.
If it is absolutely necessary to stop the air supply for a long time with the tool
coupled, be sure to take measures against falling, e.g. fixing it by rope, etc.
[ Chuck/Unchuck Sensor Signals ]
⚫Chuck end signal (coupling end)
Signal that indicates the cam is not fully engaged. When this signal and a coupling check signal
are both active, the robot can pick the tool adaptor from the tool stand.
⚫Unchuck end signal (detachment end)
This signal indicates that a cam to lock (couple) the robot adaptor and tool adaptor is drawn
into the robot adaptor. While this signal is active, the robot adaptor may approach the tool
adaptor freely and leave the tool adaptor after completion of tool replacement on the tool stand
safely.
⚫Coupling check end signal (face end)
This signal indicates that jointing planes of both the robot adaptor and tool adaptor are in
contact.
When coupling the adaptors, make the coupling planes of the adaptors parallel and check that
the coupling planes are sufficiently close to each other. Then operate the cam for coupling.
WARNING

1.Overview of the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)

Selection of Input Device
Check specifications of the input device. Signals representing the robot
adaptor attachment condition may not be present.
The chuck/unchuck sensor signal output circuit of the unit consists of a photo coupler operated
by turning the proximity sensor ON/OFF, and serial resistor for photo coupler protection.
Therefore, the residual voltage of the signal output circuit varies depending on the input
current of the selected input device.
For input device selection, check the input current of the device and ON determination voltage
and select an input device with which ON determination is possible.
Example of [NPN: 0V common spec]: When input current value is 6 (mA)
- When chuck, unchuck are ON
Residual voltage V1 = 680 (Ω) x 6 (mA) + 0.9 + 0.8 = 5.78 (V)
- When the coupling check end is ON
Residual voltage V2 = 680 (Ω) x 6 (mA) + 1.8 + 0.8 = 7.58 (V)
Therefore, select an input device with which ON determination is possible with 8 (V) or higher
voltage relative to 0V common.

Precautions for Allowable Load and Installation
Rated load, rated moment, and rated torque in the ATC specifications are
dynamic specifications for the unit being mounted on a robot. Ensure that the
maximum load never exceeds these values during normal operations taking
into account the acceleration factor during acceleration/deceleration by the
robot. Fig. 2 shows the meanings of rated load, rated moment and rated
torque.
Payload W = 3430-5880N (350-600kg)
Eccentric distance L =
)( 22 ltlm +
Ex: Allowable bending moment M = L x W x GR(*) = 0.5 x 4600 x 1.5 ≦4000Nm
Allowable twisting torque T = Ltx W x GR(*) = 0.5 x 4600 x 1.5 ≦4000Nm
Note: GR(*) is the acceleration factor of constant acceleration/deceleration in automatic robot
operations. For specific values of robot performance, please contact the robot manufacturer
for further consideration. (Use 1.5-2.0G as a standard.)
