Patent attributes
A layer module for use on a robot has an inlet side having an inlet-side mechanical adapter geometry and an outlet side having an outlet-side mechanical adapter geometry. The inlet-side and the outlet-side mechanical adapter geometries are complementary to one another. The layer module has at least one functional assembly. The functional assembly can be contacted electrically, hydraulically and/or pneumatically on the inlet side and/or on the outlet side. An adapter system comprises at least two such layer modules. A layer module system comprises an adapter system and a fixed part, the fixed part being connected to the free inlet side or to the free outlet side of the adapter system. The layer module has at least two locking parts that are mounted in a spring-loaded, displaceable or pivotable manner, and at least two guide elements oriented in the longitudinal direction of the layer module that have geometrically different designs.
