Hi all, I am designing an automated robot grinding, the grinding process will be using lots of shaft mounted grinding tools, ie 15pcs per workpiece.
Therefore I would like to design the auto tool changer without the need for an adaptor for each abrasives tool, to reduce the adaptor cost for each grinding tool.
I have seen such tool change on the net, but I am not able to find more information on how it works or makers that does that.
Tool shank: 3.15 or 1/8”
RPM about 15K to 18K
Can you provide a link to this being done?
Hi, this is the link

Ah, now I have an idea of what you want. Pretty simple, you only need a spindle that is set up for an ATC, and use the correct G and M code commands to accomplish the tool change.
Hi Dawson, I do not require the NC codes, I will be using robot to do the grinding process. I am actually looking for such spindle that is able to grip the polishing tools without the need for adapter
I think what you want is a dental ATC spindle.
Your grinding tools / mandrel would need a pull-stud of some kind on the end, and the spindle would need to pull the grinding mandrel into the taper in the spindleQuote:
