Milling
ToolDrives’ intelligent drive units bring maximum precision and dynamic performance to your milling processes. As extremely lightweight end-of-arm tools (EOAT), they reduce the load on robots and cobots while maintaining full torque thanks to highly efficient synchronous motors. Whether milling slots, contours, or pockets, the system controls rotation and feed purely electrically and in perfect synchronization—completely without compressed air. Combined with an integrated extraction system for chip-free surfaces and a quick-change system for tool swaps in seconds, it is the perfect all-in-one solution for the cost-effective milling of wood, plastics, and composite materials.
Milling in any orientation
ToolDrives’ all-electric drive units bring maximum efficiency and cleanliness to automated plastic milling. Since plastics are extremely temperature-sensitive, the perfectly synchronized interplay of high rotational speed and precise feed reliably prevents the material from overheating or melting at the milling edge. The result is mirror-smooth, burr-free contours and pockets.
Milling aluminium
When machining light metals, the perfect balance between high spindle speed and precise feed is crucial for achieving optimal cutting speeds and preventing the milling flutes from clogging. The highly efficient synchronous motors maintain a perfectly constant speed even under heavy loads, enabling mirror-smooth surfaces and perfectly burr-free milling edges.
Milling with extraction
Automated milling of plastics, wood, and lightweight metals with ToolDrives guarantees perfectly burr-free edges and an absolutely clean production environment. Because chips are extremely lightweight, they tend to fly uncontrollably through the facility if no countermeasures are taken. ToolDrives’ integrated extraction system addresses this directly: it encloses the milling cutter and captures chips and fine dust right at the source.
