GRIP BASE Connector SWS200 Robot Base Changer Review: Specs, Price and Applications

The GRIP BASE Connector SWS200 lets an entire robot arm be removed and transferred quickly. The robot bolts to a special changer that bolts to a table or cell, and a square socket key releases it.
It supports horizontal, ceiling and vertical mounting, offers repeat accuracy under 0.02 mm and is rated for over 10,000 changes without loss of accuracy. Transfer takes only a few seconds.
Quick Verdict
A heavier-duty base changer than the SHW160, with higher cycle rating and flexible mounting orientations.
