QC-46 Tool Changer
Description
The QC-46 Tool Changer weighs only 6.5 lb. (3 kg) and has a very low stack height of 2.61 in. (66 mm) while using the same proven locking mechanism as the previous QC-40Q Series Tool Changer.
This robotic tool changer handles payloads up to 110 lb. (50 kg) and allows up to 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) of plate separation when locking and can accommodate up to seven separate utility modules to handle a large variety of signals, fluid, air, and other requirements.
Additional features include optional internal Lock/Unlock sensing and direct mount to robots with a 4 in. (100 mm) ISO pattern.

Features:
- The QC-46 utilizes the same proven locking mechanism as the QC-40Q Series Tool Changer
- No-Touch locking technology allows up to 0.1 in. (2.54 mm) plate separation when locking.
- Patented Fail-Safe locking mechanism design results in a low force acting on the piston.
- All locking components are made of RC58 stainless steel.
- Mounts directly to 100 mm ISO mounting pattern. Also supports additional mounting patterns (see drawing).
- Internal, optional Lock and Unlock sensing.
- Alignment features in Tool Changer body for greater torsional strength and better serviceability.
