Abstract

An automatic tool mounting assembly for robotic equipment that includes a base mounting member and a tool carrier member. Radially extending locking posts are radially aligned with the seal between the base and tool carrier. Pneumatic connections within the base and tool carrier provide a seal at the interface surface of the two connector sections so as to avoid the use of sockets and O-ring seals. The pneumatic connection interfaces are also radially aligned with the locking posts and seal in order to accommodate a wide tolerance for misalignment during connection and disconnection of the base and tool carrier.
