Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an attachment storage attached to a machine tool having an attachment exchange function.

Machine tools equipped with an attachment exchange function require various attachments to cope with the diversification of workpieces, and it is necessary to make effective use of these attachments to perform efficient work. Summer.

In addition, it is gradually becoming possible to equip machine tools with automatic attachment exchange devices to exchange these various attachments as and when required, and to attach hangars to accommodate these attachments to enable more efficient work. It is becoming common.

However, no device has yet been developed that automatically and arbitrarily changes the tools attached to this attachment, and an automatic tool changer for this attachment is installed inside the attachment hangar. By automatically changing tools while attachments that require replacement are stored in the hangar, the work can be done unmanned, improving work efficiency, and minimizing manual labor by workers, thereby increasing safety. The purpose of this invention is to ensure this.

The present invention will be explained with reference to embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage main body, which is connected to an automatic attachment exchange device (not shown), and includes various attachments 3a, 3b, 3c to which tools 2 are attached.
etc. are stored in their respective storage locations. Reference numeral 4 denotes a tool magazine body, which is disposed at a storage position for attachments that require tool replacement (this figure shows the case of a right angle head 3a). 5
is the rotation index drive source of the tool magazine 4, and the attachment 3a is rotated by the automatic attachment exchange device.
When the is stored in the specified storage position, the
When the rotary indexing drive source 5 is activated based on the command input by the NC (it can be operated independently) and the tool magazine 4 grips the old tool 2 attached to the indexing attachment 3a at a predetermined position,
The cylinder 6 operates to remove the attachment 3a from the main shaft 3a'.

Next, a required new tool 2 is indexed to the main shaft 3a' position and raised by the cylinder 6, and the new tool is mounted on the main shaft 3a'. In this way, the required tool exchange is automatically performed at the storage position of the attachment 3a in the hangar 1.

The tool magazine 4, the rotary index drive source 5 for the tool magazine 4, and the cylinder 6 constitute an automatic tool changer for attachment.

As described above, the present invention provides a magazine for storing tools to be attached to an attachment, and a tool for attaching and detaching the tools stored in the magazine to and from the attachment, in an attachment storage attached to a machine tool equipped with an attachment exchange function. Since the attachment storage is equipped with a replacement device, (1) a series of work processes can be automated, making it possible to fully automate the machining process of machine tools.

(2) Since the main body of the processing machine can change attachment tools in advance while processing, work efficiency can be greatly increased.

(3) By separating the magazine required for the processing machine main body and the magazine for the attachment, it was possible to add the missing magazine on the processing machine main body side.

(4) Manual work by workers was eliminated, ensuring safety.

It has excellent effects such as
