Technologies supporting high productivity

When machining workpiece, the tool change（ATC）time accounts for approximately 20% of the machine operation time（based on surveys by Brother）.
This means that productivity can be improved by reducing the tool change（ATC）time.

1 Magazine turning mechanism（Driven by AC servomotor）

The turning mechanism has been redesigned to greatly reduce the tool change time. The magazine is servomotor driven to achieve smooth turning.
