The RapidChange ATC magazine offers a hassle-free installation process, making it a valuable addition to your CNC workflow. Even if your CNC machine lacks an integrated M6 function, as long as it meets the essential spindle speed and rotation requirements, you can bid farewell to manual tool changes and embrace the simplicity of g-code macros.
Effortless Installation
Setting up the RapidChange ATC magazine is a breeze. Use your CNC machine to precisely locate and drill the mounting holes for the provided M6-55mm hex head cap screws. A DXF file with detailed mounting hole and tool pocket recess locations is included with your magazine, ensuring accurate placement in both X and Y dimensions. To establish the Z reference position, utilize the convenient spacer provided. After moving the spindle to the first pocket, fine-tune the X and Y reference points, and you’re all set for seamless tool changes.
Minimal Complexity, Maximum Functionality
The beauty of the RapidChange Magazine lies in its simplicity. You can achieve automatic tool changes straight out of the box without the need for compressed air, solenoids, or intricate M6 integration. While additional peripherals are available for convenience and added protection, the magazine’s core functionality is simple, reliable, and requires no electrical connections.
Integrated Tool Setter
The RapidChange ATC Magazine comes with an optional, built-in tool setter at no extra cost.
Reliable Tool Recognition
The RapidChange ATC magazine offers an optional infrared tool recognition sensor for added security during tool handling, requiring just one controller input and a 5V power source. This feature ensures smooth tool changes and reliability, backed by a commitment to ongoing improvements from the RapidChange team.
Flexible Dust Cover Control
In addition to its outstanding features, the RapidChange ATC magazine offers an optional dust cover, providing a comprehensive solution to the problem of dust and debris management in CNC environments.
