Peripheral equipment for machine tools
Bar feeder
Simple design exclusively for bar materials, able to handle various types and quantities
Bar feeder can be installed to supply bar materials. The bar feeder interface can be used across various domestic / overseas bar feeders. The optional bar feeder scheduling function supports high-mix, low-volume production and set production.
Mazak SUPERFLOW
High-pressure coolant system for higher efficiency and productivity
- By delivering coolant at high pressure, Mazak SUPERFLOW can deliver coolant even to tips of sharp tools that are normally inaccessible, enabling machining under a more optimal cutting condition.
- Can efficiently remove chips and prevents tool damage.
- Improved cutting performance by preventing the evaporation and vaporization of the coolant itself to ensure that the coolant is delivered to the tool tip and cutting surface.
- Coolant pressure easily set by M-code.
TOOLTECH
Compact tool magazine with large storage capacity
With TOOLTECH, tools are swiftly transported to the ATC area in racks sorted by length and diameter to minimize space. The integrated double rack for large / small diameter tools provides a design that significantly improves space efficiency. 206 tools can be stored in approximately the same floor space as a 120 tool chain magazine.
Large Tools Storage
- Large tools that previously required manual loading can now be handled by the automatic tool changer
- Max. tool diameter Φ360 mm, max. tool length 1000 mm, max. tool weight 40 kg, max. tool moment 80 N・m (Support from machine side needed)
- 40 kg tools can easily be loaded with the heavy tool fixture
Extensibility
- 70 tools can be added by the 1260 mm extension at the rear of the magazine
- TOOLTECH magazine can be expanded after initial installation
Tool Cart
- Tools can be easily loaded by directly inserting the tools into the tool dock
- Loading / unloading tools outside the magazine ensures safe setup operation
- Tool carts make it easy to move between multiple rack magazines on machines
TOOL HIVE
Flexible system expansion to meet changes in production requirements
By changing the mechanical layout between the TOOL HIVE and the automatic tool changer of the machining center, the overall length of the TOOL HIVE is smaller than the previous system design. This reduces the amount of floor space required for the rear part of the machine. The new shifter mechanism has reduced tool waiting time by its ability to position the tool to be used after the next tool. As a result, non-cutting-time is minimized by reducing waiting time when tools are changed which have individual short machining cycle times.
Tool Transport System
Necessary tools can be automatically transferred between machines
In order to link machines in the PALLETECH system and achieve long-term unmanned operation, it is important to secure the tools necessary for processing. The Tool Transport System automatically transfers the necessary tools between machines according to the processing schedule, eliminating processing stoppages due to tool shortages. In addition, by storing large quantities of tools in a tool stocker system that are separated from the machines, you can ensure that the resources needed to operate the system are available and tool setup operations can be carried out in one place for the entire system.
- By synchronizing with the automatic operation within the PALLETECH system, it is possible to collect tools that have reached the end of their tool life or are broken, and to prepare necessary tools in advance.
- Special tool are also shared among multiple machines. The number of duplicate tools can be reduced.
