- Key Products/Technologies
- QUICK-CHANGE (Automatic End Effector Changer): A device for automatically changing hands and tools on robots and automated equipment. Models available with various load capacities, ranging from 1kg (QC-1) to 700kg (GIGA™). Features a built-in mechanical fail-safe mechanism to prevent tool separation even if air pressure supply is interrupted. Maintains high positional repeatability even after 1,000,000 operating cycles. Includes a Ball Lock system with a Pick-up function for simplified teaching. Listed as a plugin-compatible peripheral device for FANUC collaborative robots (Genkotsu Robot, CRX series).QUICK-CHANGE (Automatic End Effector Changer): A device for automatically changing hands and tools on robots and automated equipment.
