DEMO - V633: Change tools during production
Watch the video or continue reading to learn how tools can be changed on the V633 without interrupting production.
The V633 is equipped with three spindles, each with its own 14-position tool changer. This gives the machine a wide selection of tools for different operations. However, there may be situations where another tool is needed during production, for example when a different operation or tool size is required.
To avoid stopping the complete production process, each of the three tool changers can be accessed through a dedicated hatch on the outside of the machine. This allows the operator to access the tool changer without having to enter the machine or stop the other processing operations.
Opening the hatch automatically stops movement in the tool changer being accessed, allowing tools to be handled safely. Meanwhile, the V633 can continue production with the other processing units. Once the required tool has been added or replaced, it is available for subsequent operations.
In simple terms, you don't have to stop the entire machine just because you need to change a tool. The operator can access the relevant tool changer from outside while production continues elsewhere in the machine.
This is particularly valuable during production where different drilling, milling or other processing operations require a variety of tools. By making it possible to manage tools during production, the V633 helps reduce unnecessary interruptions, increase uptime and keep profiles moving through production.
