February 23, 2009 - The STAMA Tool ManagementPat system provides process-controlled availability of tooling for continuous manufacturing and avoids unproductive secondary processing time.The system operates by placing the next cutting tool into a staging pocket automatically, based on preprogrammed sequences on the CNC. During tool change, the magazine only needs to travel one tool pocket for pick-up of the next tool. The STAMA Tool ManagementPat System therefore guarantees faster production processes, due to consistently shorter chip-to-chip times.The tool magazine is equipped for CAT 40, 50 or HSK 63,100 for up to 64 tools.
External magazines are also available with either 90 or 180 tool positions.
