3.1.8 Automatic Tool Change (ATC) Mechanism (560 Mini Mill)
The pneumatic system and proximity switch is used to select tools.
As the tool exchange command is issued, the swivel disk rotates to the selected tool position
according to NC or manual commands. A proximity switch connected to the electrical motor
controls the magazine's positioning. When the selected tool reaches the target location, the
electrical motor stops immediately. The air cylinder moves the tool magazine.
The rotation direction could be either clockwise or anti-clockwise.
The tool is selected randomly based on the shortest path. This minimizes the tool selection
time.
3.1.8.1 Armless Carousel ATC Mechanism (710 VMC)
An electrical motor drives the tool magazine through the gear that rotates the swivel disk.
