ATI Industrial Automation is releasing a new standard tool changing option for smaller robots. The QC-29 Robotic Tool Changer brings the powerful and rugged technology of ATI’s heavy-duty tool changers to robots in the 25 to 35kg payload class. The QC-29 is the first standard ATI Tool Changer designed with a rectangular body that mounts directly to 40mm and 50mm robot wrists.

The QC-29 also includes in-body lock/unlock sensing and a new locking mechanism. Built-in air ports and three module mounting flats make connecting utilities easy, and the Zero-Freeplay design ensures maximum repeatability for high-efficiency tool changing.

The QC-29 is compatible with ATI’s large selection of standard utility modules and tool stands enabling a vast array of unique configurations ranging from ultrasonic welding to servo motor support and more.

ATI Industrial Automation is a leading developer of robotic accessories and robot arm tooling. ATI end-effectors enhance productivity and flexibility of robotic and automated solutions across a wide spectrum of industries through capabilities such as automatic tool changing, force-torque sensing, material removal, and more.
