Quick Tool Changer
Reliable, high precision tool changing systems for flexible, multi function robotic applications.
What are Robotic Tool Changers?
Robotic tool changers enable industrial robots to automatically switch grippers,
tools and end-of-arm tooling, allowing a single robot to perform multiple tasks
within the same automation cell.
Designed for high repeatability, rigidity and uptime, robotic tool changers
significantly reduce changeover time while maintaining safe and reliable
operation in demanding manufacturing environments.
Comtec integrates robotic tool changers into advanced automation systems across
Australia, increasing production flexibility, accelerating changeovers and
supporting multi-function robotic cells for modern manufacturing.
Payload Range and Transfer Modules
Small Payload
✔ 10 to 55 kg
Compact robotic tool changers designed for small payload robots where speed,
precision and flexibility are critical. Ideal for assembly, electronics,
medical devices and light automation tasks.
These systems support multiple media, data and energy modules including
pneumatics, vacuum, signal transfer and power, enabling seamless integration
with multi-tool robotic cells.
Medium Payload
✔ 80 to 350 kg
Highly flexible tool changing solutions for medium payload industrial robots
used in machine tending, packaging, testing and material handling.
Modular designs allow multiple configurations for media, power and data
transmission including pneumatics, vacuum, cooling and electrical supply,
supporting complex automation cells across Australian manufacturing.
High Payload
✔ Up to 2,500 kg
Heavy duty automatic tool changers engineered for high payload, multi process
automation environments such as automotive, heavy manufacturing and advanced
production systems.
Designed with a high number of module slots, these systems enable extensive
media, data and energy transfer while maintaining a compact footprint and
maximum design freedom for demanding industrial applications.
Stäubli Transfer Modules for Robotic Tool Changers
Stäubli transfer modules form the critical interface between industrial robots and their end-of-arm tooling,
enabling the reliable transmission of media, data and power within automated production cells.
Designed for high duty cycles and demanding industrial environments, these modules allow robotic tool
changers to support multiple processes within a single automation system.
Used extensively across Australian manufacturing, Stäubli transfer modules are engineered for long service life,
minimal wear and consistent performance, even under frequent tool change cycles.
Comtec integrates these modules into flexible robotic systems for industries including plastics,
food processing, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and advanced manufacturing.
Pneumatics and vacuum for gripping and handling applications
Electrical power and primary current transmission
Signal and data communication for sensors and IO
Cooling, liquids and hydraulic media transfer
Optical signals, grounding and mass current options
Modular design to suit simple grippers through to multi-function EOAT
This modular architecture allows Australian manufacturers to configure tool changers precisely to their process
requirements, supporting fast changeovers, high uptime and scalable automation solutions.
Whether integrating simple pick-and-place tools or complex multi-process end effectors,
Stäubli transfer modules ensure clean, secure and dependable connections across the entire robotic system.
Why Choose Robotic Tool Changers?
Robotic tool changers transform a single industrial robot into a flexible, multi-purpose automation platform.
By enabling automatic tool switching within the same robotic cell, manufacturers can perform multiple tasks
without manual intervention, reducing downtime and increasing overall production efficiency.
Increase Flexibility & Throughput
Tool changers allow one robot to handle multiple processes such as picking, assembly, inspection and packaging.
This reduces the number of robots required, improves cell utilisation and supports high-mix,
low-volume production common in Australian manufacturing.
Reduce Capital & Operating Costs
By consolidating tasks into a single robotic system, tool changers lower capital investment and minimise floor
space requirements. Faster changeovers and reduced manual handling also lead to lower operating costs and
improved system reliability.
Future-Proof Automation Cells
Integrated by Comtec with proven Stäubli tool changing technology, robotic cells can be easily reconfigured
as production requirements evolve. This scalable approach protects long-term investment and supports
future expansion without major system redesign.
