ImpactATC uses a mechanical impact-tightening principle to loosen and tighten the collet nut automatically, allowing repeatable tool changes without manually handling spanners during a job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003eImpactATC is a compact automatic tool changer module designed for hobby and small workshop CNC machines using ER20 spindle systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003eUnlike traditional pneumatic or motorised tool changers, ImpactATC is based on a simple mechanical impact mechanism. The module uses the spindle’s own rotation and controlled engagement with the tool holder to loosen and tighten the ER20 collet nut. This makes it a practical upgrade for users who want automated tool changes without replacing their entire spindle setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1839\"\u003eThe system has been developed and tested on a workshop CNC router and is aimed at makers, small-scale manufacturers, and CNC hobbyists who are comfortable modifying and configuring their machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1841\" data-end=\"2027\"\u003eImpactATC is not a plug-and-play commercial ATC spindle.
