CUT

The "CUT" series TOOL CHANGERS are mechanical cam units that transform a uniform rotary motion of the input shaft into a composite motion of the output shaft. The synchronized combination of rotational and linear movements performed by the output shaft produces the cycle that carries out the rapid interchange of tools between magazine and machine spindle.

Currently manufactured in three frame sizes: CUT31, CUT41, CUT51 tools with ISO30, ISO40, ISO50 and HSK taper. The tool change gripper double-arm has an automatic lock for the tools during motion. Exchange arms are available for various tool exchange center distances from 400 to 850 (mm) and made for most tool systems.

The CUT tool changers can be assembled with rotary tool storage magazines. These devices are called CTM.
 

 


 

VTC

This is a new generation of vertical tool changer; - a mechanism that gives the complete tool changer motion cycle but contained within more compact dimensions. Both exchange time and rigidity are improved. VTC is currently manufactured for size 40 taper tools or size equivalents.

VTC is another result of continuous improvements of Colombo Filippetti products.

VTC is available in 60° or 90° rotation gripper arm parking: extraction stroke from 60 to 110 (mm), for ISO40 and HSK63 taper.
 

 

 

 

HTC

The HTC (Horizontal Tool Changers) devices are mechanical, machine-independent tool changer assemblies which, by means of a cam drive, transform an incoming uniform rotary motion supplied by a gear-motor into a regular series of stop-and-go linear and rotary movements of the output shaft onto which the arm of the tool gripper is fixed. The synchronous combination of movements performed by the gripper arm provides the typical tool change motion cycle.

Currently manufactured in three frame sizes: HTC140-40-50 for tools with ISO 30, 40, 50 and HSK 63-80-100 taper. The tool change gripper arm has an automatic lock for the tools during motion. Exchange arms are available for various tool exchange center distances from 470 to 580 [mm] and made for tool from 10 to 25 [KG] weight.
 

 

 

 

 

 

HTC-T

In most machining centres with horizontal spindle axis, it is normal for the tool-magazine to be in a protected area of the machine. This area is generally separated from the working area by means of a bulkhead in which there is a door opening. Only when exchange of tools is made, is the door opened and closed.

For the fastest tool exchange time, the door movement in the bulkhead must be synchronised with the movement of the tools exchanger. HTC is equipped with an extra output shaft that is used for rapid opening and closing of the door in perfect synchronisation with the tools exchange motions..

This evolution of the HTC40 mechanism is known as HTC 40T.
 

 

 

 

 


CTM

CUT TOOL CHANGERS WITH ROTARY TOOL STORAGE MAGAZINE mechanisms are designated CTM and are designed and manufactured to carry a tool change gripper arm in an automatic and synchronized motion on machine tools.
The rotary motion magazine is indexed by a disk to a tool exchange position where the tool cell is pivoted 90° by means of a pneumatic cylinder.
When the cell is in the change position, the gripper arm picks up the tool by means of a uniform rotary and linear motion, taking the tool from tool magazine and changing its position with another tool in the machine spindle.
The complete cycle of synchronized motion by the gripper arm made by a single rotation of the input shaft.
CUT TOOLC HANGERS WITH ROTARY TOOL STORAGE MAGAZINES are available in four sizes: CTM 20, CTM 30, CTM 40, CTM 50. These sizes vary depending on the dimensions and characteristics of the tools to be used with the magazine.
The standard capacities of the rotary magazine are 12, 20, 30, or 32 tools.
