Abstract
A universal automation tooling receiver/adapter assembly includes a receiver with mechanical coding which may include both air and electric control, a steel plate, and two gib supports. An adapter whose style is dependent on the type of tooling required, and a manifold with mechanical coding and which may include air and electric. In use, the receiver/adapter assembly can be used in multiple applications where material is being picked up and moved from a first location to second location and/or to hold parts between operations in a press.
