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 />
