Doosan Access Tool Table. Now you probably already know that when you have a random tool changer it’s hard to know which tool is which. You look round the side at your tool drum and the numbers make no sense.

Random Tool Changer That Sounds Dodgy

No it’s not dodgy it just confuses the shit out of any one who is not used to this type of machine. I means that the tool number you are using bears no relation to the tool numbers in your tool drum.

Confused? Well you should be by now.

The machine picks up a tool and swaps it with the tool in the spindle. It then puts that tool back where it go the last one from.

Why you may be asking. Well it obviously makes the tool change faster because the drum does not need to rotate. You can preload your tools by just adding a T number anywhere before your tool change. That means you next tool is ready. All the machine needs to do is swap em. Job done.

Now for me I can’t even remember if the wife told me to get a pint of milk or a pizza on my way home from work. Therefore keeping track of these tools is absolutely impossible.

Good News Doosan Access Tool Table

You don’t need to. Our clever little machine remembers it all even when it’s turned off.

Seek And Ye Shall Find

All you need to do is ask for a tool and the machine will get you the correct one. Just don’t look at the drum, promise me.

Looking at the drum is like being on a 100ft cliff and looking down. Just scares the fuck out of you.

Trust the machine it knows best.
