CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The Tool Changer is designed to accommodate tool shanks with taper sizes from BT30 to BT50, as per ISO 7388. This range covers common machining center spindles. However, the exact taper size must be matched to the machine spindle and tool holders used in your application. Always verify compatibility with the machine manufacturer.
The tool capacity of a Tool Changer typically ranges from 8 to 60 tools, depending on the model and configuration. The actual capacity is determined by the size of the storage magazine or carousel. For specific capacity requirements, consult the supplier's technical data for the chosen model.
The chip-to-chip tool change time is typically between 1.5 and 8 seconds, depending on the machine and the distance between the spindle and the magazine. The repeatability of the tool change position is ±0.005 to ±0.02 mm, as per ISO 230-2. These values are reference ranges; actual performance depends on the specific installation and maintenance.
The Tool Changer requires a pneumatic operating pressure of 0.5 to 0.8 MPa for actuation. Below 0.5 MPa, the clamping force may be insufficient. The electrical supply for sensors and control is 24 V DC ±10%. Ensure your facility provides these utilities within the specified ranges.
