SENSOR INTERFACE PLATE SYSTEM<br />
The Sensor Interface Plate (SIP) system has been<br />
designed to provide Lock and Unlock sensing inside the<br />
Robot Interface Plate. The SIP consists of Lock and<br />
Unlock sensors, detection shaft, sensing plate, and<br />
interface plate. The SIP system is compatible with all of<br />
the Standard Series <strong>Tool</strong> <strong>Changer</strong> models except the<br />
QC-5 and QC-110. Figures 1 through 4 show how the<br />
SIP works.<br />

Figure 2: Section view of Figure 1 showing<br />
position of SIP system when locked without<br />
<strong>Tool</strong> plate. Neither the Lock nor Unlock<br />
sensors are activated. In this position, this is<br />
described as a missed <strong>Tool</strong> condition.<br />
