ANCA offers a new tooling system

ANCA recently developed a tooling system used on its FX5 and FX7 CNC grinding machines which offers the ability to easily interchange between woodworking profile blades and cylindrical (shank) tools.

“This means companies grinding woodworking tools can grind blade profiles and then quickly change to cylindrical shank tools, such as compression routers. In addition, companies focusing predominantly on engineering tools can consider adding woodworking blade profiles to their product portfolio,” the company said in a statement.

“This tooling system comes as a package. The package includes a work holding adaptor (blade chuck) to hold flat profile blades and a blade gripper head fitted to the robot loader to load woodworking blades or cylindrical tools without any mechanical changes. This means the robot head does not need to be changed. A blade gripper is used to load and unload blades and gripper fingers for loading cylindrical tools. Optional pallets are available for both blades and shank tools.”
