APM Modular quick change system

The APM Quick Change Tooling System is a sophisticated tool designed to significantly reduce setup times in manufacturing. With its extensive product range and precise Polygon-Taper Shape, it delivers excellent repeatability during tool head changes, substantially improving productivity and safety in the production process. This system is ideal for CNC Swiss-type lathes and small turning machines, enabling machining operations such as turning, back turning, grooving, cutoff, and threading.

Benefits of the APM Quick Change Tooling System

  • Increased Productivity: Rapid and precise tool change technology minimizes downtime and improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
  • Precision and Security: The high-precision polygon taper shape ensures a repeatability of 5 μm, significantly enhancing the quality of manufacturing results.
  • Versatility: The system offers a wide range of shank sizes (10, 12, and 16 mm), making it suitable for various machines and applications.
  • Internal Coolant Supply: This feature enables efficient coolant delivery without a hose connection, further simplifying operation.

Setup Time Optimization with the APM Quick Change Tooling System

Setup time optimization is a critical factor in modern manufacturing, as it increases production efficiency and improves profitability. By utilizing quick-change systems like the APM system, companies can significantly reduce internal setup times by accelerating the changeover of tools. This enables faster response to customer needs and minimizes resource waste.

Technical measures, such as implementing quick-release fasteners or couplings, are crucial for reducing setup times. In addition, the standardization of tools promotes efficiency in the setup process. By combining such technical solutions with organizational measures, such as externalizing setup operations, companies can further optimize their production processes and increase overall equipment effectiveness.
