Automatic Tool Changer (or ATC) bending machine (or press brake) is making machine setup and tool changeover faster, more reliable and a lot more efficient compared to a manual tool change process. These systems also free up time for operators to perform other tasks or get material blanks ready for bending, so production can start as soon as the tool change process is complete.
The automatic tool change process is managed by the CNC system in conjunction with the bend program.
Press brake users are also looking to automatic tool change as a solution for reducing operator fatigue and improving safety to minimise the risk of both short and long-term injuries.
