The ATC CNC machine can complete multiple and complex woodworking processes at one operation. It can realize cutting, carving, engraving, drilling, routing, grooving, and pocketing of wood, MDF, acrylic, PVC, plastic, foam, stone, soft metal and other materials. It is also called ATC CNC wood carving machine, wood engraving machine. Basic type 3 Axis ATC CNC can be upgraded to be 4 Axis, 5 Axis, Routary type, etc.

There are two kinds of tool changing type for the atc cnc router machine.

1. Straight line tool changer, economical and practical. The tool bank is installed in the bottom of gantry, the tools handle is arranged side by side, and all the tools are put out by the tool bank. The tool is selected by the spindle to save a suit of motor and drive device. The system can use three-axis system.

2. Disc tool changer, the tool bank is installed on the spindle or gantry side, choosing the suit bit by rotating the disc tool bank which is driver by servo motor. The tool bank and its span is small, and more stable. It needs another sets of servo motor and drive. The system needs four axis system.

ATC CNC machinery usually requires 3 axes to complete the engraving work, called X, Y and Z. The X axis is horizontal, the Y axis is vertical, and the Z axis is perpendicular to the other two axes. The spindle holds the tool and moves along the X, Y and Z axes, following the tool path generated by the software. In addition, there are some ATC CNC Router+4 axis engraving machines with X, Y and Z axis rotation axes (fourth axis). These CNC router engraving machines are mainly used for some cylindrical engraving and cutting work.

Linear ATC CNC wood router with LNC control system is designed for cabinet making, door making, furniture making, home decorations, wood crafts, musical instruments, windows, and tables. Now the best linear ATC wood CNC machine for sale at affordable price.

cnc router with atc

An cnc router with atc adopts an electric spindle which automatically loosens or clamps tools by the movement of the internal cylinder. And the electric ATC spindle quickly auto changes the cutting tools without stopping work. An ordinary CNC router only adopts one cutting bit on the spindle. And the operator needs to stop the machine and then manually replaces the tool, which affects the processing efficiency in a negative way. The invention of cnc router with atc represents the most technological CNC router. It changes tools automatically and greatly saves the processing time and manpower.

What is ATC CNC Router?

ATC CNC Router is the abbreviation of Auto Tool Changer CNC Router, also be named as Heavy Duty CNC Router. An Automatic tool changer or ATC is used in the CNC Router machine to improve the production and tool carrying capacity of the machine. ATC changes the tool very quickly, reducing the non-productive time. Generally, it is used to improve the capacity of the machine to work with a number of tools. It is also used to change worn out or broken tools. It is one more step towards complete automation.

Normally there is two types tool magazine. One is carousel type and with 8 positions or 10 positions or more positions. This ATC system is the fastest method of changing tools on a regular basis. Another is a linear type tool magazine. This tool magazine is very simple. But it is easy to operate and learn. And it is also very stable.

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.

What is atc spindle for cnc router?

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 CNC router machines.

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.
