Set up times drastically reduced, the HG-ATC provides the ideal solution for processing variable sized batches with complex tool layouts
Modern businesses need solutions that are increasingly geared towards reducing production lead times and making processes more efficient. In bending, the critical aspects affecting productivity are tool setup and programming times. AMADA has designed the HG-ATC series available in the 1003 and 2204 versions, to provide the ideal solution for processing different sized batches with complex tool layouts. Thanks to the integrated ATC Automatic Tool Changer and powerful offline VPSS 3i Bend software, increasingly smaller lots and shorter lead times are no longer a problem. Set-up times are drastically reduced due to the Automatic Tool Changer, which can load tools in the most complex layouts, providing high efficiency and precision setup and the possibility for operators, with varying experience, to use the machine effectively.
AMADA engineered the HG-ATC as an ideal solution for variable lot sizes and complex tool layouts. TheAutomatic Tool Changer (ATC) can load even the most complex tool layout within three minutes andallows operators of varied experience levels to efficiently utilise this bending system.
The key benefits of the ATC are:
- Quick tool set-ups
- Four independent tool manipulators
- Automatic and safe tool locking by hydraulic clamps
- Possible reverse orientation of tools
Other standard features on the HG-ATC include:
- AMNC 3i: the latest touchscreen numerical control
- An integrated bend sensor that guarantees consistent bend angle accuracy
