Automatic Tool Changer Range Unrivalled speed and precision AMADA’s innovative range of bending machines equipped with Automatic Tool Changer. Bending is one of the most important stages in sheet metal processing and crucial in terms of production efficiency and setup times. From this perspective, machine set-up is one of the most critical operations that often requires time, accuracy and effort from the operator. AMADA has risen to this challenge with an innovative range of bending machines equipped with Automatic Tool Changer (ATC). Setup is made automatically by the machine, reducing set up times, eliminating the operator’s hard work and the risk of errors.

HG-ATC AMADA engineered the HG-ATC as an ideal solution for variable batch sizes and complex tool layouts. The Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) can load even the most complex tool layout within three minutes and allows operators of varied experience levels to efficiently utilise this bending system. HRB-ATC The HRB with automatic tool changer (ATC) meets the needs of variable batch sizes production. The ID tooling makes automatic and manual tool setup possible, resulting in prevention of setup errors through detection of tools information and its location. The life of tooling is extended through an ATC storage device and hydraulic clamping of punches and dies.

Our bending machines with Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) are the ideal solution for small, variable batch sizes and complex tool layouts requiring frequent resetting.
