What You Should Know About ATC (Automatic Tool Changer)?

Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) is a tool magazine kit that reduces cycle times by automatically changing tools in different work. It is used in CNC routers to improve the production and tool carrying capacity of the machine. Automatic tool changer (ATC ) changes the router bit quickly, reducing the non-productive time. It is used to improve the capacity of the CNC router machine to work with different router bits.

  1. The Italian HSD high-power air-cooled spindle has high precision, long life, stable operation, good starting performance, large torque, and can give full play to the advantages of the machine’s high speed and higher efficiency.
  2. Equipped with a unique tool-changing mechanism, which can exchange the required tools at will. The special tool setting table can accurately compensate the error of tool length. The tool change time is only 10 seconds, and the tool magazine comes standard with 8 tools, and a larger capacity tool magazine can be customized.
  3. The overall thickened square tube structure bed body is scientifically welded and the whole body is not deformed.
  4. High precision linear square linear guide rail, double-row four-row ball sliders, large bearing capacity, stable operation, high precision, high-strength high-quality steel rails ensure mechanical accuracy and wear resistance, and the service life is 10 higher than that of circular guide rails. High quality ball screw has high precision and precise cutting.
  5. The USB interface DSP operating system that can be operated remotely from the computer is completely separated from the computer. The handle operation makes the operation simpler and the design is more humane. The unique intelligent budget rule is adopted to give full play to the potential of the motor, realize high-speed processing, and synchronize the curve and straight line. The curve is more perfect, does not occupy the computer memory and can realize the automatic start and stop of the cutting spindle.
  6. Good software compatibility, compatible with a variety of CAD/CAM design and production software such as Type3, Artcam, Castmate, etc.
  7. The countertop is the world’s leading vacuum adsorption countertop, made of bakelite, with high adsorption capacity, which can strongly absorb materials of different areas, and the density is large without deformation.
  8. The vacuum pump can be selected from high-quality oil-free vacuum pumps, which have stable performance, low temperature, low noise, environmental protection, long service life, and easy maintenance; it effectively solves the problem of water circulation vacuum pumps in cold weather.
  9. Intelligent protection of the work surface: to prevent possible damage to the work surface caused by misoperation or software errors, intelligent processing cross-border protection, to prevent mechanical collisions caused by the design layout exceeding the processing width.
  10. The automatic lubrication system can be operated with one button, which is convenient to use and better for machine maintenance.
  11. It adopts Japanese high-power servo motor drive system, and the Y-axis adopts double motor drive, so that it can run at a high speed up to 60 m/min or more.
  12. The electrical system uses imported frequency converters, Japanese Yaskawa servo drives and motors, and Siemens electrical components. It avoids the common problem of high failure rate of ordinary domestic electrical parts, and has stronger stability and durability and higher safety.
  13. With precise adjustment of the tool holder position and automatic tool setting system, it is more convenient and simple for you to operate the tool, which directly improves the production efficiency.
  14. Independent control cabinet control system makes the operation more convenient.
  15. Concise, convenient, and easy-to-learn split keyboard operation, users can quickly and flexibly master the use of the device, with greater independence.

In short, the use of an ATC CNC router machine solves the problem of manual tool-changing in the past in multi-process processing. The entire process is automatically completed by the system control machine, which greatly reduces personnel input and improves production efficiency.
