Updated: 7 days ago
The EFFECTO E31.5 is the smallest automatic tool changer in EFFECTO's E series, sized for cobots and small robots. The appliedrobotics.com address now redirects to EFFECTO. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The E31.5 lets a small robot swap grippers and tools automatically. It is rated for 10 kg and is extremely light, 0.09 kg on the robot side and 0.04 kg on the tool side, so it costs the robot almost no payload. It takes 52 Nm of operating moment and 30 Nm of torque, and repeats rotationally to ±0.04°. The cam lock compensates wear, cleans itself and retracts positively, and EFFECTO's XCHANGE guarantee covers 8 million cycles or 20 years. ISO bolt patterns avoid adapters, and utility modules add air and signals.
