Mounting the EOAT to a Quick Changer
Quick Changers are composed of two parts or sides, an EOAT side and a robot side. The robot side is permanently attached to the robot arm. An EOAT side is permanently attached to each individual end-of-arm tooling. To mount the EOAT to the robot, the two sides are fitted together and then locked into position. Some styles, such as the RGS Quick Changer, do not require any tools to lock the two sides together. This style also has integrated fittings which automatically connect air, vacuum and electric. Others styles require the setup person to securely clamp the EOAT to the robot arm. Air, vacuum, and electric connections must be connected manually.

Quick Changers assure that the EOAT will be perfectly positioned each time it is mounted to the robot. In addition to helping to prevent damage to the mold or the EOAT, this can also greatly reduce the amount of fine-tuning needed upon set up.
