Modern businesses need solutions that are increasingly geared towards reducing production lead times and making processes more efficient. In bending, the critical aspects affecting productivity are tool set-up and programming times. AMADA has designed the HG-ATC model, available in the 1003 and 2204 versions, to provide the ideal solution for processing different sized lots with complex tool layouts. Thanks to the integrated ATC Automatic Tool Changer and powerful offline VPSS3i Bend programming software, increasingly smaller lots and shorter lead times are no longer a problem. Set-up times are drastically reduced due to the Automatic Tool Changer, which can load tools in the most complex layouts, providing high efficiency and precision and the possibility for operators, with varying experience to use the machine effectively.
