Automatic tool changer (ATC) R04 is designed for RET10X, RET10P, RET100B horizontal milling and boring machines as an optional technological accessory.
R04 provides changing tools into the machine spindle.
The device is firmly installed on a clamping plate (RET10P) or a machine worktable or an additional pick-up table (RET10X, RET100B).
A tool change is fully automatic. The rack is filled semiautomatically via the spindle or manually directly into the rack.

Specification
(technical specification v01.01)
Brief technical description
- steel frame rack
- tools are stored horizontally in the rack, without locking, using gravity
- tool handling is provided by the machine spindle
- it is controlled from the main panel of the machine control system
- TS460 workpiece probe, that is a part of RT04, is required to set up the rack
- device is partially covered
- possibility of more racks to set at different places of the machine clamping surface
Rack installation
Rack is installed preferably on the edge of the machine working surface so that the machine spindle reaches all positions for storing tools. After clamping, the rack position is determined and written to the machine using a workpiece probe. Then the rack is automatically operated using the TOOL CALL commands + tool number. The machine is equipped with a sensor for checking the presence of the rack, which reads the reflecting surface in the upper part of the rack. If the rack is removed or relocated, the tool change will be blocked.
