Tool changers are devices that fix to the wrist of a collaborative robot (cobot), enabling it to quickly and easily switch from one tool to another. This allows you to have several tools operating in the same area, to complete a particular set of tasks. As a result, tool changers reduce set up times and provide you with greater versatility.
SmartShift is a revolutionary add-on that makes automated tool changing simple on virtually any type of robot.
A fully automated tool changing system, SmartShift has been developed for all current Universal Robots. Together with Universal Robot’s URCap, tool changes can be set up in a matter of minutes. Although it is highly recommended that it be used with URCap for ease of use, SmartShift is so simple that it can also be programmed manually for advanced use cases.
