Nov 03, 2011 SAS Automation tool changers facilitate and accelerate mounting of EOAT (end-of-arm tooling) and gripper systems to robot arm by automatically connecting multiple ports, including air, vacuum, and electric. Robot side (QSR) is permanently attached to robot arm, and tool side (QST) is permanently attached to each individual EOAT. EOAT mounts to robot by fitting 2 sides together and then locking them into position.
