Quoted from the published standard.
1 company lists this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
According to directory reference data, tool storage capacity ranges from 20 to 120 tools. The exact capacity depends on the machine model and magazine design. Always confirm with the manufacturer for a specific application.
Reference ranges are: maximum tool diameter 75–125 mm, maximum tool length 250–400 mm, and maximum tool weight 8–25 kg. Adjacent pockets may have reduced capacity, and longer or heavier tools may require special handling. Verify with the supplier.
Tool change time (chip-to-chip) is typically 1.5 to 8 seconds. Shorter times indicate faster operation. The actual time depends on the magazine type, ATC design, and tool weight. Confirm with the manufacturer.
Reference operating temperature is 0–45°C, relative humidity ≤85% non-condensing, and ingress protection IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529. Below 0°C lubricants may thicken, and higher humidity may cause corrosion. Always verify with the manufacturer.
