It allows the machine tool to automatically change tools during the machining process without manual intervention, significantly improving production efficiency and machining accuracy. The ATC system usually includes a tool magazine and a tool changing manipulator. Multiple tools are stored in the tool magazine, and the manipulator is responsible for taking out the required tool from the tool magazine and installing it on the spindle. The tool changing process is controlled by the numerical control system to ensure speed and accuracy. In addition, the ATC also supports multi-process continuous machining, reducing the number of clamping times and shortening the production cycle, which is especially suitable for the efficient production of complex parts. However, when installing existing tools, the tool body needs to be fixed to the fixing component through threads and nuts, and then the fixing component is installed inside the spindle.
