WPR5000 Series Tool Changer by Zimmer
Manufacturer: Zimmer
Tool changers WPR5000 series
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY
The WPR5000 series tool changer features a flat design, increased repeat accuracy and maximum tightening stroke. The compact design allows optimal use of space, while the high load capacity ensures that even heavy tools weighing up to 500 kg or more can be handled with ease.
- Safer tool changer
Maximum safety due to a spring-loaded piston, self-locking mechanism, optional sensors and other accessories. The Zimmer Group tool changer therefore meets the requirements of Performance Level d, Control Category 3. - Locking kinematics
The innovative locking kinematics with locking bolts and extreme rigidity is the new benchmark for tool changers. The extremely flat design also minimizes the torque load on the robot, which allows smaller and more cost-effective robots to be used. - Endless variety
Regardless of the medium being transferred, with the right energy elements of the WER1500 and WER3000 series you get a standardized transmission of pneumatics, fluidics, electrical signals, power and communication and much more.
Always the right transmitter - Energy elements
ENDLESS VARIETY
Energy elements are the most important accessories for tool changers and are essential for the transmission of a wide range of different media from the stationary part to the loose part. All tool changers offer integrated air transfer systems as standard. If larger or smaller cross-sections are needed, energy elements can be used. In addition, almost all media such as load current, signal current, hydraulics and communication can be transmitted using energy elements.
Our expertise—your advantage

COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF ACCESSORIES
The WPR5000 series tool changers offer a comprehensive range of accessories that significantly increase the efficiency and user-friendliness of your automated processes. These accessories allow seamless integration into existing robotic applications and ensure maximum reliability and operating convenience.
The storage station
Flexibility
Two storage stations have been developed for the WPR5000 series tool changer. With integrated in-plane axis compensation module and secure loose part locking or the classic variant.
Safety
The pneumatic spring-loaded locking mechanism integrated into the storage station ensures that the loose part can be placed in almost any spatial direction and is securely locked into it.
Sensors
The range of accessories is completed by optionally available sensors for sensing the locking mechanism in the storage station and the loose part.
Passive safety interlock
It is also possible to open the storage station at the right time entirely without active control using a passive interlock via the stationary part and to lock it again automatically.
Piston position sensing
The piston position sensing using 2-point magnetic field sensors enables simple and reliable position monitoring of the locking mechanism. Unlike conventional systems where the sensors are mounted on top of the tool changer, the WPR5000 series features side integration. This maximizes the use of the installation space and minimizes the interference contour of the tool changer.
Programming tips
The programming tips provide an intuitive and simple way to make the teaching and programming process as easy and efficient as possible for the user. In addition, there are also markings on the storage station and on the suspension system for the loose part that significantly simplify the process of setting up the tool changer on the robot.
