TOOL EXTENSION.

Our tool extension for processing machines is a separate unit that contains tools for the machine. It enables efficient and automated provision of tools during the machining process. This external magazine extends the internal magazine of the processing machine. As a result, tool changes can be carried out quickly and precisely, which improves the productivity and accuracy of the machine.

The running time of the machine tool is increased as a much larger number of tools can be kept in stock. A tool extension is highly recommended when automating a machine tool. With the Indumatik Toolchanger, we offer a tool extension with up to 500 additional tools.

TOOL EXTENSION.
AT A GLANCE

Expand your milling machine by up to 600 tools with an external magazine.

An external magazine provides you with additional tools directly on the machine. Tool extensions from 100 to 600 tools are standard with us.

The extensions must be connected to the machine via an interface. To do this, we should open a project together with you and your machine manufacturer.
especially with small batch sizes. With small batch sizes, several different workpieces often have to be processed each night, which requires additional tools. The necessary tools are stored in the external magazine. This reduces the set-up times of the machine, as the necessary tools are always ready.
With additional tools on the machine, you can significantly increase the number of unmanned jobs and thus increase the running time of the motor spindle. This increases output and therefore turnover and profit.

Even small batch sizes of up to one piece can be processed automatically and very economically, increasing your productivity.
Depending on the design of our systems, very fast tool change times (chip to chip) can be achieved. The change times for an external magazine are comparable to an internal tool magazine. It all depends on the design!

PALLET HANDLING.

Workpieces are clamped on pallets and stored and retrieved with the pallet in the machining center. The flexible production system is ideal for small quantities or heavy handling weights and makes it possible to automate almost all clamping systems.

PARTS HANDLING.

The pallet is not required for parts handling. The workpiece or finished part is fed directly into the machining center with a gripper. This type of automatic machine feed is recommended for large quantities with low weight.
