CNC lathes equipped with an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) enhance manufacturing efficiency by swiftly switching between various cutting tools during a single operation. This capability allows for complex parts to be machined with minimal manual intervention, improving precision and reducing production time.
The ATC holds multiple tools, each designated for specific tasks such as turning, facing, or threading. When the CNC program signals a tool change, the ATC automatically selects and positions the appropriate tool, ensuring seamless transitions between machining processes.
This automation not only accelerates production but also enhances safety by minimizing human interaction with the machinery during operation. The integration of ATCs in CNC lathes exemplifies the advancements in automated manufacturing technology.

Average baddie on Friday night
PEX
Ahh yes, the speeds/feeds carbide actually wants to be ran at in the wild
Я услышал ъэ в начале, теперь есть мотивация сделать про это трек на саундклауд
It’ll take over 24hrs to make that order
Those OD turning tools gave me grey hair
That's our normal speed for everything, wonder why our machine breakdown faster
Compared to a multi-spindle screw machine, this is painfully slow.
Operation 1,2,4 could be done in a single time?
A little more than 22hours!!
Barb fitting for a hose. Been made a trillion and 1 times, probably on this machine alone. That’s a swiss- screw machine with gang tooling. It’s what these machines are made for. High volume of the same pieces.
16h for 2k
Coolant!!!!
Best i can do is next week
This is not fast.
