DESTACO TC1 Manual Tool Changer Review: Features and Uses of the Ultralight Cobot Tool Changer
Updated: 7 days ago

The DESTACO TC1 is a manual tool changer for swapping end effectors on collaborative robots in seconds. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
TC1 is designed for cobot cells that change tools often. It mounts to ISO 9409 flanges, carries air and electrical signals through integrated ports so lines and sensors need not be reconnected, and uses a locking mechanism that DESTACO says increases rigidity and load capacity. A blank version can be machined for custom needs, and a URCap plus a setup guide support Universal Robots. Payload, moment and weight figures are not published on the page.
