The HTCs (Horizontal Tool Changers) by COLOMBO FILIPPETTI S.p.A. are mechanical, fully autonomous tool changer assemblies, designed to transform, by means of a cam mechanism, the uniform rotary input motion provided by a gearmotor into a regular sequence of stop-and-go linear and rotary motions of the output shaft, on which the tool gripper arm is mounted.
The synchronized combination of movements performed by the gripper arm provides the typical tool changing cycle, which is the distinctive feature of this device. The gripper arm is equipped with an automatic safety lock during the transport phase, ensuring maximum reliability and operational safety.
The main characteristics of the HTC include precision, speed, and smoothness of motion, low vibrations, quiet operation, application versatility, and minimal space requirements, making them ideal even in the most demanding industrial environments.
With a heritage dating back to the 1950s and ongoing technological innovation, Colombo Filippetti S.p.A. places the customer at the center, providing tailored technical and engineering support and highly reliable, long-lasting solutions, reinforcing its position as a historic leader in precision mechanical systems.
