How is the rapid automatic tool change technology of high-speed machining centers improved?

  1. Improve the speed of motion based on the traditional automatic tool changer, or use a machine and drive components with faster movement speed.
  2. Design the form and position of the tool magazine and tool changer according to the new structural characteristics of the high-speed machine tool. For example, the tool magazine and tool changer of the traditional vertical machining center are mostly mounted on the side of the column, while the high-speed machining center is mostly the feed mode of the column movement. To reduce the quality of the moving parts, the tool magazine and the tool changer are not suitable. Mounted on the column.
  3. Using a new method for fast tool exchange. Instead of the magazine and robot, you can use other methods to change the tool. For example, instead of changing the tool, the method of changing the spindle is used.
  4. Use the spindle component of the newly developed machining center for high-speed movement of freedom. This allows the spindle to directly participate in the tool change process, which not only makes the position of the tool magazine flexible but also reduces the freedom of movement of the tool magazine. Simplify the structure of the tool magazine and tool changer.
