Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable automatic replacement of a tool in a tool magazine during work, by arranging a turret head having a plurality of spindles, tool magazine and a change arm onto a slide head movable up/down and left/right. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of feed units 9, 10 are arranged slidably in the perpendciular directions through motors M1, M2 on the upper face of a bed 1. While a column 2 is provided liftably through a slide head 3 and a motor M3 onto the upper face of the feed unit 10. A turret head 5, tool magazine 4 and a change arm are arranged on the slide head 3. Consequently the spindle of tool B', spindle tool B'' and the tool in the tool magazine 4 are positioned on a line when working a work A fixed on a fixing tool 8 by means of a tool B' mounted on turret head 5, the tool can be replaced easily through a change arm 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a machining center tool change system.More specifically, in the past, the machining center used a platform for changing tools, and a photon was used to change the machining process of one tool. After that, it takes a long time to return the head to its original position and replace it, and there are disadvantages in that the amount of work is extremely low.

The present invention relates to a machining center tool change system completed for the purpose of eliminating the above-mentioned difficulties, and does not require the above-mentioned returning of the head to the original two positions and the time required for changing machining shapes. An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.G is 9°10°, ζL, and the feed unit in the X direction. A column 2 is disposed on the upper surface of the feed unit 10 and is slid in the Y direction and X direction by a motor λ11 and a key 12, respectively. A slide head 3 is provided, and a motor 13 allows movement in the X direction (up and down).

The slide head 3 includes a plurality of main and small 1;
The tool B of the turret head 5 and the tool B of the tool magazine 4 are clamped by the tool claw 11, and the tool B of the tool magazine 4 is removed. The change arm 6 rotates by 18σ□ to change tools.

In order to explain the action of the unexploded 117J in such a l+Vj configuration in which a workpiece 8 is installed, as mentioned above, the workpiece 8 fixed on the pick-up table 8 is mounted on the turret head 5. During machining with the selected tool 13, the main axis ``Curl B'', which is located symmetrically on a straight line with the main axis of the tool B', and the selected tool I3 in the tool magazine 4 are located on a straight line. Therefore, it is possible to easily change tools using the change arm 6.

As mentioned above, the tool magazine 4 and the turret head 5 are disposed on the slide head 3, and are arranged so that they are mutually nutted at the same time in the X, Y, and Z directions. Depending on the machining needs, the tool can be changed accurately and can be easily done manually or automatically even during the machining of the workpiece A.

Furthermore, 1) it is also possible to perform tool exchange using a spindle other than the spindle at a symmetrical position on a straight line with the spindle of the n-th tool B', by adjusting the position fiffl of the tool magazine 4 and the change arm 6.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned instructions and functions, the machining work can be done rationally and economically using the machining center tool change system.

That is, during machining of workpiece A, there is no need to change the selected tool B in the tool magazine 4, for example, during the machining of workpiece A. The long machining center tool change system, which does not require time to return to the position, has the effect of being able to perform the machining work in an innovative, visually and rational manner that has not been seen before3.
