Installation Instructions

Install the socket dock on a profile or metal sheet with the two mounting holes on the side. Mind the orientation.

Install the socket dock as horizontal as possible. Vertical installation is also possible, but not recommended since normally sockets or bits are attached to the socket changer and, if it is installed vertically, it could be difficult to hold the socket changer in position.

Mount the sensors on the sensor mounting bracket with the provided M3x16 socket head screws.

Mount the sensor mounting bracket with the attached sensors to the socket dock with the provided M3x16 socket head screws.

Connect the sensor cables to the control station (tightening controller, robot controller, PLC, etc.).

Recommended programming steps for the pick-up process:

• Joint movement to the upper position over the socket changer. See illustration 1.

• Start tool rotation. Recommended to do about 4000° (keep rotating before reaching the dock position) at 200 rpm or higher.

• Linear movement to the socket dock position. See illustration 2.

• Wait for the signal from sensor 2 that detects the engagement between the tool adapter and the socket changer.

• Linear movement to position. See illustration 3.

• Joint movement to approach tightening position.

Recommended programming steps for the release process:

• Joint movement to position. See illustration 3.

• Linear movement to dock position. See illustration 2.

• Confirm correct position with signal from sensor 1.

• Linear movement to up position. See illustration 1.
