Automatic Tool Changer CNC:  CTNE 50 – Shuttle Tool Changer

The CTNE 50 is an advanced shuttle tool changer system that optimizes tool change times and simplifies management. Unlike traditional systems, it operates without hydraulic devices, resulting in a quieter, cleaner, and more reliable operation. The system features an exchange unit mounted on a shuttle driven by a servomotor, gliding on a hardened prismatic guide. The exchange cycle is completed using a precision reduction gear with a servomotor, while the cone extraction stroke is managed by an oleo-pneumatic cylinder. In the O+V version, the system can exchange tools with the spindle in both vertical and horizontal positions, offering versatility for various machining applications. The CTNE 50 accommodates tool magazines with capacities ranging from 20 to 80 tools, supporting various cone types such as ISO 45, ISO 50, BT 50, HSK 80, HSK 100, Capto C8, and Capto C10, with tool weights up to 25 kg in the standard version and 35 kg in the heavy-duty version.

Automatic Tool Changer CNC: CTM – Drum-Style Tool Changer

The CTM series is suitable for installation on NC milling machines, vertical and horizontal machining centers, and is available in different sizes to match various tool holders. Each size corresponds to a magazine with capacities of 12, 20, or 30 tools in standard versions, and 24, 40, 48, or 60 tools in special versions. The CTM tool changer comprises a CUT cam changer that executes mechanically synchronized movements, a BP rapid gripper arm, and a wheel-type magazine with a cam indexing table activated by a self-braking asynchronous three-phase motor. In the tool collection area, the selected tool pocket tilts 90 degrees via a pneumatic device, allowing the gripper arm to retrieve it. A binary code system with a micro parity device identifies the selected tool. The standard cycle management is random, with an option for a fixed-place management system, which may affect tool change times. The change time varies from 0.8 to 3 seconds in random control, depending on tool weight and exchange distance. Constructed primarily from light alloy and plastic materials, the CTM system is lightweight and can be directly mounted on the machine support.

Automatic Tool Changer CNC: TMA 40 – Ring Magazine for Pick and Place Systems

The TMA 40 is a ring magazine with elastic grippers designed for pick and place tool changers. It is available in a continuous version operated by a servomotor with an encoder or a step-by-step version operated by a self-braking motor through a cam mechanism. The elastic grippers are made of plastic or steel, with options for self-braking grippers suitable for cones ISO 40 and BT40, HSK 50 and 63, and Capto C58 and C6. The structure is entirely constructed from aluminum with inserted guides made of antifriction plastic material. Standard versions offer capacities of 24, 40, 60, and 80 tools, with a standard magazine speed of 50 m/min. Due to its design, the TMA 40 does not require periodic tensioning to eliminate slack.

Automatic Tool Changer CNC: CTA-HSL – High-Speed Tool Changer with Compact Magazine

The CTA-HSL series is suitable for applications on CNC milling machines, vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, and multi-tasking machines. These tool changers feature a compact tool magazine designed to accommodate a high quantity of tool holders in a restricted area, making them ideal for smaller machine tools. The main characteristics of the CTA-HSL tool changers include simplicity, reliability, cleanliness, high tool storage capacity, and ultra-high-speed tool exchange cycles.
