ATO Multi Rod Feeding System for Ultrasonic Metal Atomizers
Longer atomization runs from rods on your ATO ultrasonic atomizer — round rods of 4 to 10 mm in self-locking collets, up to 1200 mm per load.
- Up to 1200 mm of rod per load with the extended tube container
- Round rods 4–10 mm · collets 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm
- Installation, on-site operator training and US service included in every quotation
- Lead time 8–12 weeks · 12-month warranty
What your process engineer actually checks
Longer runs per load
Up to 1200 mm of total rod length in the extended tube container means the atomizer runs longer between reloads — higher throughput and less operator time than single-rod feeding.
Secure, repeatable grip
Self-locking collets sized 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm hold round rods close to nominal diameter, so feeding stays consistent from rod to rod across a long run.
An applications engineer on the line
We run ATO ultrasonic atomization in-house through ATO Lab.
- Multi Rod Feeding System (MRFS) for your ATO ultrasonic atomizer
- Self-locking collets in the sizes you run — 4, 6, 8 and/or 10 mm
- Extended tube container for up to 1200 mm of rod in total
- Optional ATO Cast to cast rods and ATO Wipe to clean them
- Installation and on-site operator training — included in every quotation
What the ATO Multi Rod Feeding System is
The ATO Multi Rod Feeding System (MRFS) is an optional 3D Lab accessory for the ATO ultrasonic metal atomizers that feeds round rods into the atomizer for longer runs. Rods of 4 to 10 mm, with diameters close to nominal, are held in self-locking collets sized 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm.
With the extended tube container, one rod or the sum of several rod sections can reach 1200 mm in total. 3D Lab presents it as the feeder for rods up to 1 m long. More rod per load means the atomizer runs longer before the next reload than with a single 110 mm rod.

What it changes in your powder workflow
Multi-rod feeding is for teams that run rod feedstock beyond single trials:
| Run length | up to 1200 mm of rod per load instead of one 110 mm rod |
| Operator time | fewer reloads per kilogram of powder |
| Repeatable grip | self-locking collets hold each rod close to its nominal diameter |
| Feedstock | cast or machined round rods of 4, 6, 8 or 10 mm |
| Clean melt | pair with ATO Wipe to clean rods before atomization |
How the Multi Rod feeder runs
Where the Multi Rod Feeding System stops — and what to take instead
The MRFS needs an ATO ultrasonic atomizer and takes round rods close to the nominal collet sizes — 4, 6, 8 or 10 mm. Rods of 1–3 mm, rods whose diameter varies along the length, or feedstock of an individual shape go to the Single Rod Feeding System (with the Custom Shape Feeder upgrade). For automated rod change with up to ten 120 mm rods — the size ATO Cast produces — there is the ATO Revolver Rod Feeding System. For continuous runs from spooled wire take the ATO Wire Feeding System, and for scrap or alloys with volatile elements the Induction Melting System.
Make your own powder, measure it, print it
The MRFS turns rod feedstock into longer runs on an ATO ultrasonic atomizer. Atomize spherical powder in the 20–120 µm range, check size distribution and sphericity on a Microtrac CAMSIZER X2+, print it on an AO Metal LPBF printer, and repeat. The atomizer, analyzer and printer are also offered together as the R&D Bundle.
