Tool changer with door operator Colombo Filippetti Torino MTE
MTE 40 TOOL CHANGER WITH SYNCHRONIZED MOVABLE PROTECTION
The MTE 40 tool changer has been expressly designed for high productivity horizontal and vertical work centers. It is composed of:
- Support for the HTC 40T tool changer complete with BP 41 gripper arm and synchronized movable bulkhead opening system activated by a single self-braking motor or a brushless motor.
- Ring tool magazine with pull-out tool holder bushings activated by a brushless motor.
- Pneumatic controlled tool extractor unit.
The opening of the movable bulkhead dividing the working area and the tool magazine is synchronized with the gripper arm movement thanks to the presence of a cam. This allows to minimize tool change times and simplify the electric control.
Change time (tool-to-tool) could vary from 0.8 to 1.5 depending on the tool weight and on the exchange distance.
Tool change could be operated both with 'random' management and with 'fixed place' without penalizing the tool change time.
Besides magazines could be assembled in parallel, in order to increase their capacity.
