Tormach Launches New Automatic Tool Changer
The new tool changer features an ISO20 ATC Spindle with a 10-tool rack and automatic lifting dust shoe.
Tormach Inc., a leading supplier of affordable and compact CNC machines, has announced it has introduced a new Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) for its 24R CNC Router. The new ATC features an ISO20 ATC Spindle with a 10-tool rack and automatic lifting dust shoe.
The company says its new ATC is a valuable addition to the 24R CNC router, and it is integrated into Tormach’s PathPilot CNC controller. Ideal for premium woodworkers and sign makers, the 24R is designed to accurately cut a wide variety of materials including woods, plastics, aluminum and more. With an advanced control, rigid cast-iron bed, welded steel stand, water-cooled chiller, integrated vacuum table and more than a 2' × 4' work envelope, it is the perfect choice for 2D and 3D cutting needs.
The ATC also features repeatable tool lengths, which provides faster tool changes. The new lifting dust shoe feature enables users to check the router’s cutting action while the machine is running and leading into a cut.
Spindle specifications of the 24R ATC include 1.5 kW, 10,000 – 24,000 rpm, ISO20 spindle taper, an integrated power drawbar, an integrated PDB (power draw bar) open sensor, a positive air pressure spindle nose seal and liquid cooling.
