Increase your uptime and lighten your changeover load with the IMI Norgren Easy Load. Lightweight yet extremely durable, the Easy Load is a compact sized, manual tool changer designed for Tri-axis, Tandem or other robotic applications. The Easy Load, aptly named so, requires a single latch to release, making installation and tooling changeover quick and seamless. Carry one finger or two at a time, this face-mounted disconnect device makes manual change possible for one person to execute.
Optional 2-port or 4-port air and robust electrics are available to customize the Easy Load for each application. For poka-yoke purposes, press lines can have up to 64 unique mechanical codes to the Easy Load adapter to ensure the finger only engages when attached to the right receiver. Depending on clearance requirements, the Easy Load also has a modular system that can mount air, electrics and mechanical coding in three different orientations, with the fourth orientation dedicated to the ergonomic handle and safety latch to protect the accidental release of a tool.
So power down your robot, and plug in the Easy Load to just drop your tooling and release!
