The tool changer mounts in the back region of the machining working area. Each 15-capacity unit has a pneumatic cover that opens and closes automatically with a tool change or tool length measurement. The actual tool stations consist of an assembly that can be easily replaced if a different shank size of tooling is required. This assembly consists of a brass inlet, spring, and steel threaded base. The stations are spring-loaded to ensure the tool and its' tool set adapter or ring are properly seated against the spindle collet face.

Included with the tool change unit is a tool length sensor. This is used to measure the length or offset of each tool in the magazine and the data is stored in the control software. This sensor consists of a high-precision micro switch with a carbide post mounted above. The sealed assembly is mounted at one end of the tool change unit beneath the cover. The switch is sensitive enough to measure the smallest end mill or drill without breakage. The tool offset management software allows the operator to measure as it needs to or automatically in a program. A program can even be set up such that during the production run, if it measures the tool and has determined it is broken, it will automatically change the tool with a surrogate tool and re-machine from the beginning of that tool path.

The tool change unit will need to be configured to accept different tool shank sizes. This configuration can be finalized just prior to the shipment of your machine. For example, you will need to determine which stations will need ¼" tooling and which stations require 1/8" tooling. There are also some larger face mill tools that can be accommodated. Your Datron Customer Support Manager can assist you with this configuration.

There is a sensor located under the cover of the pneumatic tool change unit. If the cover fails to open, the sensor will alarm the control and the machine will stop. There is also a sensor for a low air pressure condition which will also stop the machine.

In the case when 30 tools are required, there is simply a second identical magazine mounted adjacent to the first unit. The only exception being there is no tool length sensor in the second unit. During a tool change, only the magazine that is involved in the change will open.
