Robot System Products is a front-rank provider of peripheral products for high performance
robot applications. We provide complete solutions for your robot installations, aiming to improve
your productivity with the most reliable and cost-effective tooling on the market. Continuously we
explore emerging technologies, working with leading edge design.
Robot System Products has a wide range of standard robot peripheral products:
•Tool changers
•Swivels
•Swivels with integrated tool changers
•Grippers
•Hose Packages
•Valve units
•Tool systems
•Tool stands
Robot System Products’tool changers are constructed to maximize the flexibility and reliability
of your robot fleet. Through our patented locking device TrueConnect™ robustness and high
safety are combined with low weight and compactness. With our swivels you can provide
compressed air, water, electrical and data signals as well as weld and servo power to your tools
with robot motion capabilities fully maintained. Our swivels with tool changers unites the
TrueConnect™ tool changing mechanism with our swivel technology, combining the best out of
two technologies.
Robot System Products’product lines are available for all major robot brands and come with
complete documentation. 3D-models for simulation are available for download at:

1.1 Safety
1.1.1 General
The integrator installing the tool changer into the system must follow the safety demands stated
in standards and provisions applicable in the country where the tool changer system is to be
installed. The products are all prepared for CE-certification.
The user of the Robot System Products tool changer is responsible that law and directives
applicable in respective countries, with regards to safety, are followed. The user is also
responsible to guarantee that all safety devices are installed correctly.
WARNING!
Never carry out service work on a robot that has not been taken out of operation.
See safety information for the robot.
WARNING!
Only perform work on grippers or tools attached to the tool changer if the air
pressure is safely switched off.
WARNING!
Be aware that tool changer and tool attachment are heavy and may cause
personal injury and equipment damage if dropped.
NOTE!
The tool changer shall always be in locked position, also when empty, to avoid
unexpected locking if air pressure is lost.
1.1.2 Explanation of warnings
The warnings in this document are specific to the products in this manual. It is expected that the
user also pay attention to certain notifications from the robot manufacturer and/or the
manufacturers of other components used in the installation.
WARNING!
The warning sign will make you aware that a situation could result in potential
serious injury or damage to equipment.
NOTE!
The note sign will alert you about something important to consider.

1.2 Description of RSP tool changers
Our tool changers enable robots to handle and switch between multiple tools. They are built to
ensure reliable and smooth operation, being compact with low weight and robust design and
incorporating many safety features. Depending on model and options, electrical signals, weld
and servo power, data, water and compressed air are transferred from the robot side to the tool.
The patented locking device TrueConnect™ has a minimum of play and gives a practically,
through the lifespan, absolute positioning repeatability. The principle behind the locking
mechanism is the uniform distribution of load obtained by pressing looking balls into spherical
grooves. In consequence, substantially larger positional tolerances are accepted during docking.
A built-in spring ensures that the tool remains in place in the tool changer even if the air pressure
drops.
1.3 Complementary Equipment
Complementary equipment is described in separate documents.
Article
Note
Valve unit
Mounted at the rear of the upper arm. Shuts off the air
automatically during tool changing.
Cable and Hose Package
Complete packages for most robots on the market ready to be
mounted without any modifications.
Tool Stands
Tool stands will, combined with tool attachments and
adaptation kits, give a rigid installation for easy tool changing.
Connection kits
In order to make electrical installation easier, connection kits
are available for tool changers and tool attachments.
3D-models
Available in Solid Works® and STEP-format.

2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 Description of tool changers and tool attachments
The RSP product family of TC60-8, TC120-8 and TC180-8 is designed for maximum flexibility
and to be used for various applications for which a large number of options can be combined in
different configurations. These options are generally useable within the product family. This
document presents:
oThe Robot System Products TC60-8, TC120-8 and TC180-8 tool changers including
tool attachments.
oOptions to configure tool changers and tool attachments. These options can as well be
ordered as accessories for retrofitting.
oConnection kits to facilitate electrical installation.
An adaptation plate between the tool changer and the turning disc on the robot may be needed,
depending on the robot model. Such adaptation plates are available from RSP.
Three guide pins can be mounted as an option in order to align the tool attachment with the tool
changer before the electrical connector is connected, which significantly extends the lifetime for
not spring-mounted signal pins.
The figure below is an example of a configuration with different options:
TC 60-8 with different options mounted.

2.1.1 Coordinate System Definition
A tool changer adds load to the robot. If the arm and tool loads are not stated correctly during
programming the behaviour of the robot and the wear of the equipment will be affected.
Information about weight and centre of gravity can, in accordance with the co-ordinate system
stated below, be found in the technical specification tables of the tool changer.
NOTE!
For the tool changer and tool changer with tool attachment, the origo is situated in
the centre of the robot mounting flange.
