ATC CNC Router

The ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) CNC router is a cutting-edge machining system designed for precision and efficiency in various industries including woodworking, metalworking, and plastic manufacturing. This advanced CNC router is equipped with a tool change mechanism that can automatically change tools during processing without manual intervention, reducing downtime.

The ATC CNC router increases productivity by seamlessly switching between different tools, each optimized for specific tasks such as engraving, routing, or drilling. This versatility enables manufacturers to produce complex designs with high precision and speed. ATC systems usually include tool magazines that store various tools, and robotic arms or conveyor belts that quickly select and replace tools as needed. The technology enables companies to streamline production processes, increase yields, and maintain consistent quality in the manufacturing of different materials.

Types Of ATC

Automatic tool changers are divided into three common types: linear type, drum type, and chain type, we will introduce them one by one.

Linear Type

This is a type of in-line changer, which used for magazines with 4 to 12 tools. It is featured by fast tool change and easy to use.

Drum Type

This is a type of rotary changer, which is also known as CTM type ATC and disc type ATC. It is used for magazines with 8 to 20 tools.

ATC CNC Router Application

ATC CNC router machines can be used in a wide range of industries, such as furniture and home improvement, wooden crafts, cabinets, screens, advertising, musical instruments or precision instrument shell processing industries. And the materials that can be processed mainly include various non-metallic materials such as wood, glass, stone, plastic, acrylic, and insulating materials.

Woodworking

Home doors, 3D wave board machining, cabinet doors, solid wood doors, craft wooden doors, paint-free doors, screens, craft window making, shoe polishers, game machine cabinets and panels, computer tables and panel furniture making.

Mold Making

It can make metal molds such as copper, aluminum, iron and more, as well as non-metal molds such as wood, stone, plastic, PVC, and more.

Advertising & Hobbyists

Sign making, logo making, lettering, acrylic cutting, blister molding, and decorations.

Indsutrial Manufacturing

It can make all kinds of shadow sculptures and relief sculptures, which are widely used in the crafts and gifts industries.

Definition

ATC CNC router is a type of CNC machining center with automatic tool changer kit that changes router bits in the tool magazine automatically instead of manual operation based on different designs for cabinet making, door making, furniture making, crafts making, decorations, musical instruments, sign making, windows, tables, and most popular woodworking projects & plans. The spindles usually carry tool magazines with 4, 6, 8,10, or 12 router bits and cutters. The tools can automatically change according to the working requirements when the machine works, no need of manual operation. You will meet three most common types of ATC CNC router kits, which include linear ATC CNC kits, drum ATC CNC kits (rotary ATC CNC kits), and chain ATC CNC kits.

Automatic Tool Changer is a device for transferring, loading and unloading tools between the spindle and the tool magazine. Automatic Tool Changer is the full name of ATC in CNC machining.

Automatic tool changer kits drive the CNC machine with continuous working, that is, after each process is completed, the new tool used in the next process is automatically changed to the spindle, and the spindle picks up the tool, the exchange of tools is generally completed by the coordinated action of the manipulator, magazine and spindle.

Compared with multi spindle CNC routers, ATC only needs one spindle in the headstock, the spindle components have sufficient rigidity to meet the requirements of various precision machining. In addition, the tool magazine can store a large number of tools for multi-step machining of complex parts, which can significantly improve the adaptability and machining efficiency of the machine tools. The ATC system consists of two parts: a tool magazine and an automatic tool change device. It has two major advantages: the first is that only one spindle is reserved, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the spindle and improve the rigidity of the spindle; the second is that a large number of router bits with different types and functions can be stored in the library, which is convenient complete various complex and multi-step processing procedures.

Automated tool changer kit is composed of tool magazine, tool selection system, tool exchange mechanism and other parts, and the structure is more complicated. It is responsible for transferring the bit between the magazine and the spindle, pushing the bit to be used to the spindle, and then sending the replaced bit back to the magazine inside. Although this changing method is not as straightforward as the previous one, it avoids the magazine and spindle from moving for tool change, and is replaced by an automated tool changer. In this way, the movement range of the mechanical components is reduced, the changing is completed faster, and the design layout is also more flexible.

    What Are ATC And APC In CNC Machining?

    In CNC machining, ATC stands for automatic tool changer and APC stands for automatic pallet changer, both of which can improve the efficiency and versatility of the machining process. These systems automate different aspects of the machining process:

    • ATC (Automatic Tool Changer): An automatic tool changer is a mechanism in a CNC machine tool (such as a router, lathe, or mill) that automatically changes cutting tools during machining operations. ATC systems are designed to hold multiple tools in a tool magazine or carousel, and the machine’s control system can automatically select and change tools based on programmed instructions. This feature significantly reduces the downtime associated with manual tool changes and enables the machine to perform complex operations using a variety of tools in a single setup.
    • APC (Automatic Pallet Changer): The automatic pallet changer is a feature of CNC machining centers that involves the automatic exchange of workpieces or pallets. CNC machines equipped with APC systems have multiple pallets or workpiece holders. While one pallet is in process, other pallets can be loaded or unloaded outside the machine. This enables continuous machining operations and minimizes downtime between setups. APC is particularly useful for high-volume production and is commonly found in machining centers used for tasks such as milling, drilling, and tapping.

    Both ATC and APC systems make significant contributions to increasing productivity, reducing idle time, and improving the overall efficiency of CNC machining operations. They automate key aspects of the machining process, resulting in a smoother, more continuous production workflow.
