Automatic Tool Changing with Techman Robot & OnRobot Grippers

Automatic Tool Changing for Techman Robots with OnRobot Grippers

An automatic tool changer adds game-changing flexibility to any Techman Robot setup. Designed for fast and seamless integration, this solution enables your cobot to switch between multiple OnRobot grippers using a compatible quick changer — all without manual intervention. Whether you’re handling varied product types or automating multi-step processes, tool changing is a vital upgrade for more efficient and scalable robotic automation.

What is an automatic tool changer?

An automatic tool changer is a device mounted to the robot’s wrist, enabling it to release one tool and pick up another without manual intervention. In collaborative applications, this means your Techman Robot can complete more tasks in a single cycle — improving throughput and reducing downtime.

Our demonstration shows the tool changer in action, swapping between OnRobot grippers to carry out multiple operations. When combined with Techman’s intuitive interface and built-in vision system, the tool changer becomes a powerful upgrade to any robotic automation workflow.

Why use a tool changer with Techman Robots?

• Enhances flexibility: One robot, multiple tasks — all in a single setup

• Minimises manual changeovers: Ideal for high-mix, low-volume production

• Plug-and-play compatibility with OnRobot’s Quick Changer

• Integrated with Techman Robot’s control system for simplified programming

• Reduces hardware costs by using one robot for more applications

Compatible with OnRobot’s Quick Changer

This setup features the OnRobot Quick Changer, making it easy to connect and disconnect a wide range of EoAT (end-of-arm tooling) without compromising safety or reliability. This mechanical interface ensures that every tool swap is fast, precise, and repeatable.

Use cases in automation

Whether you’re automating assembly, packaging, or testing, automatic tool changing can streamline your processes. It’s especially valuable in setups where different tasks require different OnRobot grippers — and you want to run everything from a single Techman Robot without human intervention.
