■ Matrix Tool Magazine Toyoda's matrix tool magazines are large capacity, stationary tool storage racks. These add-ons allow Toyoda horizontal machining centers to be tooled for more part numbers, eliminating time-consuming trips to the tool room.
■ Compact Matrix Magazine The compact tool magazine is an auxiliary tool storage unit ideal for housing unique tools or multiple backup tools used during unmanned machining. Toyoda’s compact matrix magazine is capable of holding up to 180 tools (50 taper) and up to 304 tools (40 taper). Custom configurations are available.
■ Large Storage Capacity
The magazine not only supplies a greater variety of tools to a machine, but it allows operators to store redundant tools for lights-out production and fewer trips to the tool room
■ Easy Replacement of Tools
Up to a five-tool loading station ties into the control system so operators can replace worn and damaged tools without interrupting scheduled magazine operations
■ Live Tool Monitoring
All matrix magazines offer Toyoda's live tool monitoring software. It works dynamically, automatically detecting broken and worn tools and bringing them to the unloading station. This system monitors the specifications and life of every tool in operation, making it easy for the operator to manage the inventory of tools in the machine.
