Revolver Tool Magazine
for the Machining Center, CNC Milling Machine, Milling Plotter
Revolver Tool Magazine (ATC) - Typically mounted horizontally at the portal column or on a cart next to the gate of a cnc machine tool. Automatic tool change occurs when the CNC program calls a new tool. The magazine turret then rotates until the desired tool is in the working position. The rotation of the turret magazine is controlled by a servo motor (additional interpolated axis).
It may contain from a few to a dozen or so sockets for CNC tool holders. CNC machine tools: machining centers, cnc milling machines, milling plotters equipped with a 15-position turret magazine significantly increase their efficiency, especially when CNC machining requires the use of a larger number of cnc tools.
If necessary, the machine can be equipped with a tool magazine with a different number of tool sockets. The advantage of the revolver magazine is faster tool change than in linear magazines, due to the shorter travel time to the tool change point. Due to the mounting method, the following are available:
- Revolver tool magazine - mounted on a trolley next to the gate
- Revolver tool magazine - mounted on the portal column
