Aftermarket ATC for knee mill?
 

Hi folks,


Been looking for one of these things for a while and so far haven't
bumped into anything using various key words. So, do any of you have
a link to someone selling such? Thanks for you time,
Doug

Automatic tool changer. May be more worthwhile to just buy a used machine
that already has one...

Automatic Tool Changer?

Yes, Automatic Tool Changer for CNC mill.

I'm beginning to wonder about that Robin...

Thanks for your replies

--Well there used to be a couple of them. One I recall
consisted of nothing more than a tool rack that was bolted to one end
of the mill table; program a move to the rack, drop a tool and pick up
another. It presupposes that you've got something like a pneumatic or
electric tightener/untightener for the drawbar. These are available,
too, of course.
