The entire tool changing system is shortening manufacturing time, the production cycle and assistance on the CNC machine. Simplifies operation CNC machine tools by the operator - it consists of tool change during machining. Here we can use tools to roughing followed by fine machining tools. Depending on the possibilities, we can choose from 6-10 banks of tools. In this way, we achieve a "tape" production process. There is no need to set tool parameters or calibrate the machine. The work of the cnc machine operator at a machine with a tool changer spindle is limited to supervising the manufacturing process, assembling the material on the table and removing the finished part. Nowadays, most CNC machines are equipped with spindles with ATC. The system includes:
✓ special spindle with automatic tool changing function,
✓ toolholder (tool bank),
✓ tool height sensor (or Z-axis sensor),
The number of tool banks we can customised - The limitation is the width of the work table in the case of linear storage.
Another solution is to use carousel storage.
Spindles available with pneumatic tool change from 5.5kW to 20kW called ATC spindles
