DESTACO Automatic Tool changer Sizing Tool - A4

The DESTACO Automatic Tool changer Sizing Tool - A4 is a valuable tool for engineers and technicians who need to size tool changers for robotic applications. This easy-to-use software tool helps users to quickly and accurately calculate the effective moment of their application, which is a critical factor in selecting the correct tool changer.

The A4 Sizing Tool takes into account a variety of factors, including the mass of the tool, the position of the center of gravity, and the maximum acceleration or deceleration of the robot. This information is then used to calculate the effective moment, which is displayed in both Nm and in-lb.

Automatic Tool Changer Sizing Guide
Robotic Tooling Solutions
For tool changer sizing, the maximum effective
moment during displacement will be considered.
The effective moment will be calculate in the worst
case of the application, and must consider:
• The weight of the tool
• The position of the center of gravity
• The dynamic effect due to the
maximum acceleration or deceleration.
(Emergency stop for example)
See below the simplified calculation formula to
estimate the effective moment of your application.
CAUTION: Applications with high and wide loads: in case of heavy application, we strongly recommend
to strengthen the cylindrical and diamond indexing pins, between tool changer and tool plate, by adding larger
diameter pins, the farthest to the center of changer tool, incorporated into the design of the tooling.
Mt eff = (90 x 9.81) x 0.5 x (1+2)
Mt eff = 883 x 0.5 x 3
Mt eff = 1324.5 Nm
The obtained value 1324.5 Nm should be compared to the technical data of our products in this catalog in the ‘’loading
capacity information’’ section. For this application, the choice will be a RQC-400M tool changer that has a qualifying capacity,
in terms of torque, of 1580Nm, over than the 1325Nm of the application.
