The Tool Mate is an external automatic tool changer and offers great time savings when producing small batches. The servo-electric E-Brake C with 200T pressing force and a bending length of 4300 mm is built with a C-frame, to enable automatic tool changing. The Tool Mate is very intuitive and does not require extensive training. The execution of the tool changes is via the SafanDarley E-Control. The correct tool settings can be loaded and used directly on the machine from AutoPOL offline software (or other independent offline bending simulation software).
With the high-precision changer, tools are placed exactly in the correct position. Due to the intelligent software, only necessary changes are made and tools from the previous tool set-up are reused. This achieves considerably shorter changeover times. The tool storage magazine has a capacity of 32, 52 or 60 meters of tools. The rotation station allows the upper tools to be rotated 180 degrees, eliminating the need for a double tool set.
