There are three main ways to measure the speed of automatic tool change:
1 knife to knife change time;
2 cutting to cutting tool change time;
3 The time from chip to chip change.
Since the chip-to-chip tool change time is basically the time between the two cuttings of the machining center, which reflects the auxiliary time occupied by the machining center tool change, the chip-to-chip tool change time should be the most direct measure of the machining center efficiency. index. The knife-to-knife change time mainly reflects the performance of the automatic tool changer itself and is more suitable as a performance index of the automatic tool changer of the machine tool. These two methods are commonly used to evaluate the tool change speed. The time of tool change has not been determined as an indicator of the rapid automatic tool changer for high-speed machine tools. In the case of technical conditions, the tool change speed should be increased as much as possible.
