1. Product Safety
Recommended Decoupling Procedure
Before decoupling the tool plate, depressurize any connected pneumatic utilities. Failure to
do so may result in compressed air loss and/or damage to the O-Ring seals.
Whenever possible, decouple the tool plate from the master plate while it is in a horizontal
orientation (see Fig.1) so that the master plate can be removed in a horizontal direction rather than a vertical
direction. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY RESULT IN THE TOOL FREE FALLING DUE
TO GRAVITY AND MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE UNIT AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Fig.1
Use additional caution if it is necessary to decouple the tool plate in the vertical orientation
(see Fig.2). DEPRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON IN THE VERTICAL ORIENTATION MAY RESULT IN
THE TOOL FREE FALLING DUE TO GRAVITY AND MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE UNIT AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY. Whenever possible, decouple the tool plate in the horizontal orientation (see Fig.1).

Considerations for Operation in the Vertical Orientation
Use additional caution when operating the tool changer in the orientation shown in Fig.3,
such that gravity would cause the tool plate to free fall in the event of an inadvertent decoupling. Operating
in the orientation shown below may result in unintentional decoupling if the user overloads the tool changer
or in high vibration conditions. UNINTENTIONAL DECOUPLING MAY RESULT IN THE TOOL FREE
FALLING DUE TO GRAVITY AND MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE UNIT AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.

Master Plate Pneumatic O-Ring Seal Replacement
The O-Ring seals ensure leak-proof air utility pass through when the master and tool plates are coupled.
The seals should be inspected periodically for any cuts, damage, or abrasion. If any damage has
occurred to the O-Rings, they must be replaced. The O-Rings are replaced by the following procedure:
1. Remove all pneumatic and electric power sources from the tool changer before servicing
the master plate seals. Servicing or maintaining the tool changer without isolating it from pneumatic and
electric power sources may result in electric shock and personal injury. WHILE SERVICE OR
MAINTENANCE WORK SHOULD NEVER BE DONE WITH THE TOOL CHANGER CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE, by way of example, electric shock may result where maintenance or service work
involves the use of metallic tools or other electrical conducting materials, particularly when addressing
the O-Rings.
2. A seal replacement kit (Part No. SLKT-480) is available, see Table.3 on Page 8.
3. Carefully remove the O-Rings without damaging the tool changer surface or O-Ring grooves.
4. Place the new O-Rings in the O-Ring grooves of the master body and press until they are fully seated
(see Fig.4). Lubricate lightly with oil after assembly.
Note: The tool plate does not contain pneumatic O-Ring seals.

3. Electric Modules
Electric power and signal modules are available in various configurations. See Table 4 for compatibility
with master and tool plates.
Electric Module Replacement
1. Remove all pneumatic and electric power sources from the tool changer before servicing
the electric modules. Servicing or maintaining the tool changer without isolating it from pneumatic and
electric power sources may result in electric shock and personal injury.
2. Remove the existing electric module by disconnecting the electrical connector and unscrewing the M3
screws using 2.5mm hex key wrench (see Fig.9 or Fig.10).
3. Place the new electric module in the same position, apply Loctite 242, 243, or equivalent to the screws
and tighten to 0.9 Nm using the 2.5mm hex key wrench. Reconnect the electrical connector.

Electric Module O-Ring Seal Replacement
The O-Ring seal in the master electric module protects the electrical interface between the master and
tool plates. The seal needs to be checked periodically for any cuts, damage, or abrasion and must be
replaced if damaged.
1. Remove all pneumatic and electric power sources from the tool changer before servicing
the master module seal. Servicing or maintaining the tool changer without isolating it from pneumatic
and electric power sources may result in electric shock and personal injury. WHILE SERVICE OR
MAINTENANCE WORK SHOULD NEVER BE DONE WITH THE TOOL CHANGER CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE, by way of example, electric shock may result where maintenance or service work
involves the use of metallic tools or other electrical conducting materials, particularly when addressing
the O-Rings.
2. A seal replacement kit (Part No. SLKT-480) is available, refer Table.3 on Page 8.
3. Carefully remove the O-Ring and any residual glue without damaging the module surface or O-Ring
grooves.
4. Add a small amount of glue to the seal groove of the master module being careful not to contaminate the
electrical interface.
5. Place the new O-Ring in the seal groove of the electrical interface of the master module and press until
it is fully seated (see Fig.11). Carefully remove any glue that squeezes out without contaminating the
electrical contacts. No lubrication is required.
Note: Electric module of tool plate does not contain an O-Ring seal.
