Available from Koma Precision, Alberti’s SmartChange system provides quick-change, live-tooling capability for mill-turn lathes. The units feature a low profile without additional projection to reduce the chance of interference with machines’ enclosures. The system’s design creates three points of contact between the driven toolholder spindle and toolholder output surfaces to maintain concentricity and rigidity while still providing the speed and convenience of quick-change tooling. The system enables tools to be externally preset in an effort to increase productivity. Using this product, one set of live tools can always stay in the machine with only adapters needing to be changed.
