The Research and Development of NTC Automatic Tool Selection Based on Aucol
This paper analyses the performance characteristics of NTC magazine, introduces the mode and characteristic of tool selection, discusses the details of the function and the design of the software of the control system. It also utilizes the automatic tool selection of PLC magazine set in the Italian FIDIA CNC and introduces the chart flow of automatic tool selection system. By adopting the brand new Aucol to realize the automatic tool selection program in the magazine, machine tools can improve their productivity in reliability and maintenance. The utilization in production indicates a good control result, which provides an approach of technological innovation for factories.
