Quick Change
Making all lathes more efficient
Turning Centers –
fast tool indexing but typically have a lower
utilization than machining centers due to
the tool change and setup time. Quick
change holders ensure the green light on
the machine is on for longer!
Machine options such as sub spindle,
Y-axis and half turret indexing allow for extra
tool positions to be added to each turret
position. This increases the number of tool
positions for sister tooling or reduced tool
changing.
Vertical Lathes –
widely available with automatic tool change.
For VTLs without ATC capability tool blocks
with quick change reduce the tool change
and set up time considerably. Dedicated
tool blocks with clamping unit sets built in
can be supplied with the machine or easily
retrofitted onto existing machines.
