ATI Industrial Automation's Tool Changers are featured on the cover of the December 2008 issue of MetalForming magazine. The cover story explains how Magna International, Inc., one of the largest automotive parts suppliers, has had enormous success with the integration of new automation products, including ATI's QC-100 Tool Changers at their plant in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico. Magna chose to upgrade a massive tandem line that stamps one-piece body sides, hoods, doors and floor pans with new transfer automation units, dramatically improving process flow. As stated in the article “We’ve doubled output from the line,” says plant general manager Roman De La Torre. ATI's Tool Changers allow for quick and easy changing of press tooling and transfer equipment. A frequent requirement that due in part to ATI's Tool Changers, reduces setup time to change the tandem line over for a new job.
