Triple A Robotics Wingman

What is WINGMAN?

The WINGMAN is a New School tool changer that offers both manual and automatic tool change in the same device. In addition, the WINGMAN does not require expensive pneumatic installations to achieve automatic tool change, unlike Old School automatic tool changers. All these are possible thanks to the WINGMAN’s patented mechanical redundant locking mechanism.

The WINGMAN Tool Changer provide users great flexibility due to the compact size and the click-in pass-through modules that allow users to quickly reconfigure the tool changer for new tools. Its mechanical activated locking mechanism does not need compressed air to work, unlike traditional automatic tool changers, which makes the WINGMAN easy for users to install.
