The patented ToolBase is an instant setup placeholder for various robot tools. A connected tool is provided with all the necessary energy and communication to be able to work. That is accurate mechanical fixation, 24V DC power, air pressure, vacuum, control signals, feedback and sometimes also data communication.
The mechanical fixing is achieved simply by turning a union ring 90°. Upon its closing the ToolBase and Tool combination is configured for the current tool. The tool is controlled by a single digital line and feedback to the robot is also a single digital line. All the extra housekeeping is handled embedded in the ToolBase.
Standard tools are:
Screwdriver: ToolBase charges electrically a battery bank during moving to and from screw dispenser and doing other tasks. Vacuum is provided for screw pick-up. Feedback to the robot is screw presence (vacuum level) and also screw torque at end. The two signals are separated when using MODBUS communication.
