WHAT MAKES THE INDUSTRIAL MOD TOOLRACKS SO KILLER?
HERE IT IS...

MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF TOOL POSITIONS

JOY_1318_edited.jpg

THE PATENT PENDING TOOL RACK IS UNIQUELY DESIGNED TO BOTH MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF TOOL POSITIONS ON YOUR ROUTER AND ALSO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE INTERFERENCE WITH A NON-DOCKING DUST BOOT DURING TOOL CHANGES.  DEPENDING ON YOUR MODEL OF ROUTER, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE UP TO...
 

13 TOOLS ON A PRO408
14 TOOLS ON AN IS408
15 TOOLS ON A PRO510
16 TOOLS ON AN IS510


 

THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF TOOL POSITIONS REDUCES THE NEED TO CHANGE OUT TOOLS FOR VARIOUS TASKS, AND IN THE PROCESS REDUCES DOWNTIME, MACHINING OR TOOL HEIGHT MISTAKES BY THE OPERATOR, AND THE COMPLEXITY OF CREATING OR REMEMBERING TO USE MULTIPLE TOOLSETS TO MANIPULATE YOUR TOOLING. THIS ALSO ALLOWS MICROADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR TOOL HEIGHTS IN WINCNC TO BE REMEMBERED FOR ULTRA PRECISE MACHINING, SUCH AS MDF DOORS.  THESE MICROADJUSTMENTS ARE LOST EVERY TIME A TOOL HEIGHT NEEDS TO BE MEASURED DURING A TOOL SWAP.
 

BECAUSE OF HIGH PERFORMANCE NON-DOCKING DUST BOOTS AND A TOOL RACK THAT USES EVERY AVAILABLE INCH OF SPACE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR TOOLING, THE TOOL RACK IN THIS KIT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING DOCKING DUST BOOTS.  NON-DOCKING DUST BOOTS SAVES APPROXIMATELY 20 SECONDS PER TOOL CHANGE, POTENTIALLY 2+ MINUTES PER SHEET, RESULTING IN A MARKED INCREASE IN SHEETS CUT PER DAY.  THAT'S JUST MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.

UPGRADED TOOL HEIGHT SWITCH

THE INDUSTRIAL MOD TOOLRACK IS DESIGNED TO ACCEPT THE NEW, UPGRADED, HIGH ACCURACY TOOL HEIGHT SWITCH PICTURED ABOVE.  THIS NEW SWITCH IMPROVES THE ACCURACY OF YOUR TOOL HEIGHT MEASUREMENTS COMPARED TO PLASTIC TOP TOOL HEIGHT SWITCHES.  INACCURACIES UP TO AND EXCEEDING 0.020" ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE OLD PLASTIC TOP TOOL HEIGHT SWITCH OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY WITH BRAD POINT AND BEVELED V-BIT TOOLING.

THE INDUSTRIAL MOD TOOLRACK INCLUDES THE OPTION TO PURCHASE THE UPGRADED TOOL HEIGHT SWITCH IF YOUR MACHINE DOES NOT ALREADY HAVE ONE.  IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

THE INDUSTRIAL MOD KIT WAS DESIGNED FOR DEMANDING PERFORMANCE AND IS
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE OLD PLASTIC TOP SWITCH.

 

FITS EXISTING MACHINE FOOTPRINT

THE TOOL RACK INCLUDED IN THE INDUSTRIAL MOD IS DESIGNED TO FIT THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT OF THIS CNC MACHINE MANUFACTURED IN APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 4-5 YEARS.  SIMPLY REMOVE THE EXISTING TOOL RACK, SECURE THE NEW PATENT PENDING TOOL RACK INTO THE SAME FOOTPRINT WITH THE SAME BOLTS, ATTACH YOUR NEW AND/OR EXISTING TOOL FORKS, AND SECURE YOUR UPGRADED TOOL HEIGHT SWITCH.  THEN, FOLLOW THE INCLUDED STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FEW WINCNC CHANGES NEEDED FOR YOUR MACHINE TO LEARN ABOUT ALL OF IT'S NEW TOOLS AND UPGRADED TOOL HEIGHT SWITCH!


IMPORTANT: THE INDUSTRIAL MOD KIT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED ON ROUTERS MANUFACTURED AS FAR BACK AS
 2018.  OLDER MACHINE MODELS MAY REQUIRE PHYSICAL MODIFICATION TO THE PLENUM AS THE STOCK TOOLRACKS AND THEIR FOOTPRINT HAVE CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.  CONFIRM YOUR EXISTING TOOLRACK FOOTPRINT IS AT LEAST 60 3/16" X 2" BEFORE ORDERING.
