Description
The DISCOVERY 16ATC is for shops where tool changes cost real time. Cabinet parts, furniture components and signage often need several bits per job, and a six-tool changer reduces manual tool changes and operator interruption. The 48″ × 48″ work area takes the full four-foot width of standard sheet material, and the iCNC 15.6″ touchscreen gives a larger view of the job than the 7″ eCNC fitted to the other DISCOVERY machines.
Who the DISCOVERY 16ATC suits
Production-minded shops that want automatic tool changing on a large bed without moving to a PERFORMANCE machine. If you do not need a tool changer, the DISCOVERY 16 offers the same work area without the tool changer.

What we see most often
Owners who add a tool changer often discover that tool management becomes the new discipline. Each position needs a labelled, measured tool, and the library should be set up once and kept tidy. Decide who owns the tool library before the machine is commissioned, and the time savings arrive much sooner.
