Tool Changer Alignment Gauges
Tool changer alignment gauges are used to check automatic tool changer positioning between the gripper arm, magazine, tool holder, and the spindle.
Improper alignment results in abnormal wear on spindle and tool holder tapers, faulty clamping, dropped tools, and decreased machine repeatability – resulting in reduced productivity and expensive machine damage.
Tool changer alignment gauges from TAC Rockford make correct alignment between the spindle and automatic tool changer easy.
