ATI Introduces Manual Cobot Tool Changer

November 9, 2023November 7, 2023 Keith Mills Publishing Editor

ATI Industrial Automation has introduced the MC-50 Manual Tool Changer, which provides unmatched performance, reliability and quality for the manual exchange of robotic tooling.

With intuitive and ergonomic lever operation, the patent-pending MC-50 provides a simple solution for quickly changing robotic end-of-arm tooling by hand. This compact and robust Tool Changer is designed for applications on collaborative robots that support payloads up to 25 kg, and small industrial robots supporting payloads up to 10 kg.

Featuring an ISO 50 mm mounting interface on the Master-side and Tool-side, the low-profile MC-50 mounts directly to most cobots, and seamlessly integrates with many common cobot marketplace grippers and end-effectors.

The MC-50 also includes a safety latch button on the lever to provide secondary locking for increased safety and prevention of involuntary uncoupling. A variety of electrical and pneumatic utilities for downstream end-effectors are supported through four (4) M5 integrated pneumatic pass-through ports and a mounting flat for optional ATI Utility Modules.

Leveraging Active Learning For Visual Inspection
May 8, 2024
Active learning is a machine learning paradigm that involves the model actively selecting the most informative data points for training, rather than relying solely on randomly chosen samples, with the goal of achieving higher accuracy with fewer labelled examples. In traditional supervised learning, a model is trained on a fixed dataset with pre-labelled examples. However, labelling data can be expensive and time-consuming.
