Enables fast tool change

The enhanced system provides manufacturers with a simple two-step process to load or unload tooling, delivering faster tool changeover, increased uptime and greater manufacturing flexibility.

The Easy Load receiver and adapter combination requires just one person to load or unload tooling. The receiver is attached to the press or rail and the tooling is attached to the adapter. All the operator has to do to load is align the adapter with the safety hook on the receiver and push the tooling until it snaps into place. Unloading is equally easy — just release the latch and unhook.

The lightweight, compact receiver can be mounted on the front of a rail to save space. Heavy-duty six-point contact gold plated pins and sockets ensure durability and reliability in harsh environments. The Easy Load has a modular system that can mount air, electrics and the mechanical coding in three different orientations, with the fourth orientation dedicated to the ergonomic handle and safety latch to protect the accidental release of a tool. Finally, the Easy Load can deliver up to 256 unique mechanical codes for built-in poka-yoke error-proofing.
