What’s the difference between the automatic tool changing six sides CNC drilling machine and common six sides CNC drilling machine?
Automatic tool changing
Ordinary six-sided CNC drilling machine: Usually require manual tool replacement. When a different type or size of drill bit is required, operators need to shut down the machine to manually replace the drill bit, which can lead to production stagnation and reduced productivity.
Automatic tool changing six-sided CNC drilling machine: This equipment is equipped with an automated tool changing system. It is able to accommodate multiple tools and automatically replaces the required tool during machining without manual intervention. This significantly increases productivity and reduces downtime.
Side drilling
Ordinary six-sided CNC drilling machine: only upper and lower drill packages, not including four milling heads.
Automatic tool changing six-sided CNC drilling machine: Equipped with Changchuan four-sided milling head, it can complete multi-sided processing in one operation. It can mill, cut or cut on the front, rear, left and right sides of the workpiece at the same time, thus saving processing time. In addition, the four milling heads help maintain consistency and precision in machining. This can reduce workpiece positioning deviations caused by multiple clamping or adjustments.
Work efficiency
Ordinary six-sided CNC drilling machine: Due to the need to manually change tools, frequent shutdowns are required during the production process, which will lead to a decrease in work efficiency.
Automatic tool changing six-sided CNC drilling machine: Due to the existence of the automatic tool changing system, the equipment can continue processing without frequent shutdowns to replace tools, thus improving work efficiency.
In general, automatic tool changing six-sided drill equipment improves production efficiency and reduces downtime through an automated tool changing system, while ordinary six-sided drills require manual intervention to change tools, which will lead to a decrease in production efficiency. Which equipment to choose depends on production needs and budgetary considerations.
