BS EN ISO 9409-1:2004 PDF

1   Scope This part of ISO 9409 defines the main dimensions, designation and marking for a circular plate as mechanical interface. It is intended to ensure the exchangeability and to keep the orientation of hand-mounted end effectors. This part of ISO 9409 does not define other requirements of the end effector coupling device. This part of ISO 9409 does not contain any correlation of load-carrying ranges, as it is expected that the appropriate interface is selected depending on the application and the load-carrying capacity of the robot. The mechanical interfaces specified in this part of ISO 9409 will also find application in simple handling systems which are not covered by the definition of manipulating industrial robots, such as pick-and-place or master-slave units.
