机器人工具手动快换盘通过使机器人手动快速更换不同的末端执行器或外围设备，使机器人的应用更具柔性。这些末端执行器和外围设备包含例如点焊焊枪、抓手、真空工具、气动和电动马达等。工具快换装置包括一个机器人侧用来安装在机器人手臂上，还包括一个工具侧用来安装在末端执行器上。工具快换装置能够让不同的介质例如气体、电信号、液体、视频、超声等从机器人手臂连通到末端执行器。

The manual quick robotic tool changer provides greater flexibility to the robots through a quick change of end-effectors or peripheral equipment. These end-effectors or peripheral equipment include spot welding torches, grippers, vacuum tools, pneumatic and electric motors. The tool changer consists of a robot end to be mounted on the robot arm and a tool end to be mounted on the end-effectors. It allows such media as air, electrical signals, liquid, video, and ultrasound to be connected from the robot arm to the end-effectors.
