ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transporting a plurality of fasteners in an automated changing system, i.e., in a robotic tool changing system, wherein the system includes a tooling adaptor assembly adapted to be coupled and decoupled to and from a robot adaptor assembly. The transport apparatus includes a first member which has a first passage formed therethrough and a second member which has a second passage formed therethrough. Both the first and second members are mutually adapted for alignment to one another when the adaptor assemblies are coupled. When the adaptor assemblies are coupled together, the first and second members form an interface fitting so that the plurality of fasteners, i.e., studs, may pass therethrough, and ultimately be transported to a tool, i.e., a stud welding gun.
