A cable processing machine includes a swivel arm on the cable supply side, a magazine for a plurality of cable guide units and a fixing device for a cable guide unit, wherein the fixing device is arranged on the swivel arm, can be actuated automatically and serves for selectively receiving a cable guide unit from the magazine in accordance with a guide unit selection signal. Upon the reception of the guide unit selection signal, the cable processing machine swivels the swivel arm into a corresponding position relative to the magazine and receives the selected cable guide unit from the magazine by using the fixing device.

A nozzle replacement table unit includes a nozzle container configured to accommodate multiple nozzles for replacement, a pedestal to which the nozzle container is detachably attached, a fixing mechanism configured to fix the nozzle container to the pedestal, and an operation section configured to release fixing by the fixing mechanism. The operation section is provided in the nozzle container.

An assembly structure, such as for connecting a robot arm and a gripper or other such components, includes an assembling part and a coupling part provided above the assembling part. The assembling part includes a body and a flange fixedly coupled to an upper portion of the body. The coupling part includes a base member and a sleeve member configured to surround a periphery of the base member. The flange is configured such that a rotational motion of the flange about a rotation center axis relative to the base member is restricted. The sleeve member is configured to be rotatable relative to the base member and the sleeve member and the flange are configured to interfere with each other in an upward/downward direction.

A gripper for a handling assembly grasps an object. The gripper includes: a coupler for mounting to the object; and a base body mountable to the handling assembly. The base body includes: a housing; a clamping bracket at an outside of the housing; and a clamping mechanism in the housing, connected to the clamping bracket. The clamping bracket has latched and unlatched states. In the latched state, the clamping bracket is drawn close to the housing. In the unlatched state, the clamping bracket is pushed away from the housing to receive the coupler between the clamping bracket and the housing. The clamping mechanism is activated by pneumatic/hydraulic driving to force the clamping bracket to change from the latched to the unlatched state, and deactivated such that the clamping bracket returns to the latched state, thereby clamping the coupler to the housing.

A station may include a station base part fixed to one side of a station body part and having an assembling part seating region having a shape recessed inward, and a station holder part having a shape protruding upward from the station base part, in which an inner surface of the station holder part includes a first holder part surface region having a shape curved in a direction intersecting an upward/downward direction, and second holder part surface regions each connected to one side end of the first holder part surface region and having a curvature different from a curvature of the first holder part surface region. The station may be configured to reversibly assemble an assembly structure.

A robotic tool changer system through magnetic coupling force and all-round mechanical locking includes a first coupling unit, a plurality of second coupling units, and a plurality of tool changer grippers. The first coupling unit is fixed to a robot arm. The first coupling unit includes a first locking unit and a first magnetic unit. Each second coupling unit is detachably connected to one of the tool changer grippers and includes a second locking unit and a second magnetic unit. When the first coupling unit is moved to approach one of the second coupling units at a predetermined distance, the first coupling unit and the second coupling unit are coupled to each other by a magnetic coupling force, then the first coupling unit and the second coupling unit are fixed to each other through all-round mechanical locking of the first locking unit and the second locking unit.

A disconnectable adapter for the adaptation of a tool to an industrial robot has a first part and a second part connected detachably to the first part. The adapter is designed with at least two locking parts which engage behind the first part or the second part in a spring-loaded manner and are mounted displaceably or pivotably in the second part or first part behind which the locking parts do not engage. To disconnect the first part and the second part of the adapter from each other, all the locking parts are loaded simultaneously relative to the first part and to the second part or relative to one another by means of an external force applied as a compressive force. With the present disclosure, a disconnectable adapter which can be operated both manually and automatically is developed.

The system includes a robot interface disposed on a robot arm, and an end effector configured to selectively couple to the robot arm via the robot interface. The end effector includes an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and a pair of arms configured to carry a substrate. The upper jaw and the lower jaw are spaced apart in a first direction and biased together, and the pair of arms are spaced apart in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. When the end effector is coupled to the robot arm, the robot interface is disposed between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. To exchange the end effector, the upper jaw and the lower jaw can be separated to release the robot interface.
