Having the right tools is essential in daily production. Searching for tools, calibrating them, transporting them and loading the magazine takes up valuable time and adds up to several hundred
working hours over the year. Secure an economical advantage for your company with the 152/180/264-slot standby magazine with integrated cone cleaning station.
The HEDELIUS standby tool magazine is a cabinet magazine positioned behind the machining centre. A rotating lifting frame with gripper removes the tools from the standby magazine and places them in the tool magazine of the machining centre. The changeover time is just a few seconds.
The required tools are selected at the beginning of an NC program. The tool management software checks whether the tools are in the main magazine of the machine. If a tool is missing, it is automatically taken from the standby magazine and inserted into the main magazine of the machining centre. If more tools are required for a workpiece than are present in the main magazine, the additional tools are also taken automatically from the standby magazine. This eliminates time-consuming manual changeovers.
Example calculation: With four changeovers per day with an average of 14 new tools to be fitted, the total tool requirement is 56 tools per day.
