Kolver is excited to announce the launch of our new bit change system (code 020043), designed to provide a low-cost solution for robotic and automated fastening applications that utilize different bits.
1) built-in proximity sensors that can be wired to a PLC, robot, or directly to our KDU-1A control units to tie the tightening program selection to the bit in use;
2) the ability to switch between bits without user intervention;
3) compatibility with bits as wide as 22 mm (0.87'');
• When docked on the bit change system, the bits are locked vertically but not horizontally;
• A magnet secures the bit horizontally and a proximity sensor detects its presence or absence;
• The robot attaches the bits by pushing downward while the screwdriver rotates slowly (50 RPM);
• The robot pulls away horizontally to undock the bit;
• To disengage from the bit, the robot returns to the docking area with a horizontal motion, then pulls up
and away (the spring ball plunger of the bit allows engagement and disengagement);
• Multiple bit change systems can be used jointly to match the required number of bits.
Note: The bit change station must be securely attached to the table or to the wall in a fixed position in order to minimize the amount of flex and bending allowed.
For more information, contact us anytime or refer to the user manual.
