# Quick-Change Robot End Effector / Tool Adapter
This is a robust, mechanically automated **Quick-Change Robot End Adapter** designed for light to medium industrial or hobby robotic arms. It enables a robot to autonomously swap its own end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) without requiring pneumatic lines, solenoids, or external actuators just to operate the lock mechanism.
Instead, it utilizes a clever, purely mechanical **push-to-lock / push-to-unlock** sequence driven entirely by the robot’s own positional movements and the rotation of its wrist (5th axis).

## Technical Specifications & Features
* **Dovetail Alignment Interface:** Features a precision-engineered dovetail slide tracking system. The angled geometry ensures self-centering, high repeatable accuracy, and exceptional rigidity against torsional and bending moments during high-speed movements.
* **Robot-Side Mounting Interface:** * **Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD):** 41.0mm (4 holes spaced **20.5mm from the center**).
* **Hardware Compatibility:** Designed for **M4 bolts** (4mm clearance holes). Perfect for matching standard small-to-medium robotic wrist flanges.
* **Lock Mechanism Core:** Utilizes a standard **Ø6mm x 60mm steel pin/shaft** as the internal key shaft. This ensures high shear strength and smooth mechanical sliding without relying entirely on plastic-on-plastic interfaces for structural security.
