Cam driven tool changer Bettinelli
The CU system is a mechanical cam-driven tool changer that combines an intermittent series of linear and rotary movements necessary to change the tool:
-cone gripping
-extraction (from the tool pocket and from the spindle)
-changeover
-insertion (in the tool pocket and in the spindle)
-release
A mechanical tool safety lock on the gripper holder arm makes sure the tools are transferred safely during the changeover phase.
