Automatic Tool Change System Ten position rotary tool change system which is mounted to the wall of the machine and holds the tapered tool holders. When the program calls for a tool change, the head moves to rotary tool change system and places the tool into an empty space, then the system rotates the appropriate tool, and then continues the program. Standard High Tolerance Tool Length Sensor The TS27R is the standard tool setting probe for machining center applications. A compact, robust design allows simple fitment to the machine bed or bracket mounting where appropriate. Standard Machine Options...

Volumetric Compensation Volumetric Compensation, standard on all Thermwood CNC routers, dramatically improves the accuracy and quality of the machine. This state-of-the-art advanced technology, developed by Thermwood, is especially essential for large envelope five-axis machines. In this process, the laser measures the exact positions of the cutting head, in three dimensions within the working envelope, and compensates for any remaining error. The com- pensation then becomes integral within the machine’s control providing precise positioning of the cutting head. Thermwood Technical Service Thermwood’s...
