The constant exchange with customers around the world, the long-term experience gained in numerous successful past projects, as well as consistent further development in accordance with the latest production requirements have resulted in pioneering change-over technologies that are setting global benchmarks. Stäubli recognises the wishes of the production industry and is close to the customer: regionally, nationally and globally.

Process assurance: In automated production environments, the highest safety standards apply. Manufacturers are subject to product liability and bear responsibility for their products. A high degree of transparency and process assurance across all production stages are therefore basic prerequisites for sustainable success in production.Our tool changing system for robots increases process assurance.

Quality control and quality management: Highly developed quality strategies have one thing in common: They significantly reduce the error rates in industrial production. Continuously monitored processes with error rates of less than one part per million ensure quality at the highest level.Our tool changing system for robots supports zero-error production.

Efficiency and productivity: The pursuit of perfection characterises innovative production processes in all industrial areas. Manufacturers and suppliers work constantly on optimising production processes and seek new, forward-looking technologies. The aim: Benchmark in efficiency, sustainability and productivity.Our tool changing system for robots enables highly productive manufacturing.

Flexibility: In order to react quickly to changing market conditions or customer wishes, new strategies with the maximum flexibility are in demand. Flexible processes demand universal systems. Our tool changing system for robots guarantees maximum flexibility.

Sophisticated technologies – specially developed for the highest demands in all areas of industry.

Automatic tool changing systems make a decisive contri-bution to the productivity of robot systems. If robots are able to independently change grippers and tools, the flexibility knows no bounds. As a result, robot tasks can be newly defined and made significantly more complex.

With the fully-automatic changing systems, unproductive off-peak times can be minimised, and the degree of automation and autonomy of robot cells can be increased, thereby enabling maximisation of the overall system productivity.

With tool changers that increase productivity.

With over 60 years of experience in connection technology, today Stäubli possesses unique competence in the design and realisation of tool changing systems, which set techno-logical and qualitative benchmarks. At the same time, Stäubli is the world's only manufacturer to develop and produce all system components, coupling modules and the associated peripherals in-house.

The advantage for customers: a consistent, modular and tailored system, with the maximum in functional assurance and outstanding performance.

Complete solutions – consistently developed by Stäubli.
