ATC stub holder
(Automatic Tool Change)
Essential item for robotic machining!
Tool loading and unloading with straight line movements only
Tool change system for robotic machining
Contributes to investment savings by eliminating the need for multiple hand changers
Easy tool change without the need for a power source
30% increase in productivity due to reduced tool change time
Amazing facts!
── Introducing ideas and technologies ──
The ATC stub holder is a quick-change system for robot machining that enables the tip of the hand changer to be changed to multiple tools.
The changing system uses a mechanical mechanism and requires no power source such as electricity or air, so it can be installed directly on existing robots.
It also enables speedy tool changes, contributing to ‘improved productivity’, ‘reduced investment’ and ‘multi-product support’.

Development / product concept
“Current status and challenges”
- There is a growing need for dry and MQL machining without the use of cutting oil as an environmental consideration.
- In dry MQL machining, chips cannot be washed away with cutting oil, so it takes time to clean the machine and chips adhere to the spindle.
“Development points”
- The chip collecting holder is equipped with a chip collecting cover that utilises centrifugal force to control the discharge of chips.
- The holder can collect chips and discharge them at a predetermined position, improving the machine environment due to chip scattering faced in dry and MQL machining and contributing to improved productivity.
