Automatic Tool Change
ATC stub holder
An essential item
for robotic machining!
- Tools can be attached and detached using only straight movement.
Tool change system for robotic machining.
- Reduce investment by not requiring multiple hand chargers.
- Easy tool change with no power source required.
- 30% increase in productivity due to reduced tool change time.
“Amazing Ideas / Facts!”
The ATC stub holder is a quick change system for robotic machining that allows the tool attached to the tip of the hand changer to be replaced with other tools.
By adopting a mechanical mechanism for the replacement method, power sources such as electricity or air are not required, and it can be installed directly on existing robots.
It also allows for quick tool changes, contributing to improved productivity, reduced investment, and support for a wide variety of products.

Background / Point for Development
Background
- Factory production lines are becoming more efficient by replacing human work with robots.
In order for the robot to perform a variety of tasks effectively, frequent tool changing operations are required.
Speedy processing and automation of this process are essential for improving productivity.
Point for Development
- The ATC stub holder has developed a quick change system with a mechanical mechanism that does not require a power source, allowing for quick tool changes using only the tip of the hand changer.
- In addition, since only the tip is replaced, there is no need to prepare multiple tool changers, contributing to improved productivity at low cost.
