EFFECTO AC050 Auto Coupler Review Summary
The AC050 solves a common cobot problem: many cobot cells have no compressed air. Here the robot itself locks and unlocks the coupler by moving into a docking plate, with a 15 mm locking stroke and spring-actuated safety pins. It is rated for 15 kg with ±0.02 mm repeatability, weighs 0.24 kg on the robot side and is rated for over one million changes. Pneumatic feedthroughs are built in, and electrical modules can be added.
Pros
No external power to lock
Light
±0.02 mm
Air feedthrough built in
Cons
15 kg limit
Requires docking plate motions
Who It Is For
It fits cobot users who want tool changing without pneumatics.
