Tool storage and loading systems –
the TOOL terminals

Intelligent tool handling directly at the machine

With the TOOL terminals from WASSERMANN, you can switch your tools to automatic mode. You benefit from a well thought-out design, powerful software and fast, robust mechanics. Automation and set-up parallel to machining time reduce set-up times. And you speed up tool change processes with the intelligent tool allocation of our software.

Your advantages: More spindle hours, more throughput, more sales potential.

Configure according to the modular principle. You select the design of your tool storage system based on your desired capacity frame. You then specify details such as the exact capacity, holders, tool length and other features.

Your advantages

Develop productivity from order

  • Space-saving – high tool density, e.g. 552 tools on just 3.5 m²!
  • Generalist – for all common tool holders
  • Open – storage with interfaces to tool management, tool presetting and production
  • Economical – short amortization period
  • Market-oriented – complex orders with existing machines
  • Productive – reduce downtimes with sister tools
  • Attractive – modern production environment for your team
  • Tailored to requirements – three basic architectures for flexible configurations

Possible applications for your TOOL terminal

As a central tool store (CTS / GTS ) for several machining centers

As a central magazine, a single TERMINAL supplies the magazines of several machining centers with tools and thus expands the storage capacities of the machine tools.

A background magazine is suitable if machine magazines need to remain small for space reasons, if many special tools do not need to be kept at each machine or if numerous sister tools are required in the event of high wear. A central tool magazine is particularly useful for unmanned production in the 3rd shift and at weekends.

It can be used as a supplementary storage unit for one machine or as a central unit for several machines. The TERMINAL has sequence control, tool management and interfaces to the machine controls for fast, error-free data exchange. RFID technology and connection to tool presetting systems are optional.

The tool request is made via the host computer or machine control, the handling system takes over the secure exchange between TERMINAL and the machine memory.

One idea – many names for central tool stores

Common names for central tool storage systems are CTS – Central Tool Storage, GTS – Gantry Tool System, THS – Tool Handling System or TOOL-D and TOOL-L. What they all have in common is the automatic supply of tools to the machine storage system.

What is unique about the TOOL-D and TOOL-L terminals from WASSERMANN?

Both are particularly space-saving with a minimal footprint. TOOL-L can be extended as required, while TOOL-D enables extremely short deployment times.
