Sandvik Coromant (Mebane, NC) is introducing automatic tool change (ATC) for machine-adapted clamping units (MACU) in turning centers. This unique solution enables unmanned production, for improved machine utilization and increased output.
In complex part production, the time-consuming process of manual tool changes often results in low utilization of turning centers. However, a new automatic tool change solution for machine-adapted clamping units addresses this issue by enabling full automation in turning centers.
ATC for MACU enables full automation for turning centers and eliminates the need for manual handling. The result is higher machine utilization and increased productivity. Furthermore, complex part production becomes more efficient with an ATC-enabled turning center, streamlining the manufacturing process. The result is a quick return on investment that will lower the cost per part.
