Docking systems are automatic multi-coupling / multi-coupling systems that can be perfectly integrated into controlled sequences and processes. Using built-in sensors, a docking system can provide a higher-level control system with precise data on the respective position or status of its coupling halves.

Tool changers for industrial robots are automatic multi-couplings which are perfectly adapted to the demands of modern industrial robots and highly efficient manufacturing cells. Industrial robots, equipped with tool changing systems are able to perform different tasks without manual set-up times or to guarantee highest process safety with redundant tool concept.
