Automatic tool troubleshooting device and operating method thereof

A tool fault elimination device and an operation method thereof, in particular to a tool automatic fault elimination device and an operation method thereof. The software will detect the position signal on the arm and the loose-clamp signal on the spindle, automatically analyze the process in which the tool change system failure occurs, and automatically complete the process until the next process is executed until the automatic tool change system is complete. Return to the standby position.

The tools used in metal machining are accompanied by the complexity of machining, and the number of used tools is increased. Complex workpiece machining programs often require more than a dozen tools. Therefore, the stability of the automatic tool exchange system determines most of the quality. However, in addition to the pursuit of a more stable automatic tool change system, mechanical manufacturers need to think about how to quickly eliminate when a fault occurs.

When the automatic tool change system mechanism fails, it is common practice to use a tool to rotate the mandrel of the automatic tool change system motor to manually return the automatic tool change system to the standby position, but the tool exchange of the automatic tool change system is The action flow is as follows:

1. The arm is rotated to the spindle side

2. The spindle loosens the tool out of the spindle

3. The arm is rotated 180 degrees to exchange the spindle tool with the standby tool

4. The spindle clamp allows the tool to be fixed to the spindle

5. The arm is rotated to the standby position

Therefore, if the general operator does not understand the action flow of the automatic tool change system, To forcibly rotate the motor spindle, the automatic tool change system will be damaged, and the time and money wasted when the machine cannot be processed and required professional maintenance.

In view of the above problems, how to develop an innovative structure with more ideal and practicality, the consumers are eagerly awaiting, and the relevant industry must strive to develop the goal and direction of breakthrough.

The invention is an automatic tool fault elimination device and an operation method thereof, comprising: an operation panel, the operation panel is electrically connected with the machine platform, and the operation panel is electrically connected with a recovery button, and when the fault occurs, the software detection is performed. The position signal of the tool exchange system and the loose-clamp signal on the spindle automatically analyze which process the tool exchange system fault occurs. When the reset button is pressed, it will automatically move to the next process of stopping. The reset button flow is six. The setting of the next cycle, the reset button is provided with an LED indicator. In the loop process, the first time the button is pressed, the system will automatically move the axis to the tool change position; press the reset button for the second time, one arm will automatically move to the spindle side; press the restore button for the third time A spindle will automatically trigger the loosening mechanism to disengage the tool; press the reset button for the fourth time, the arm will automatically rotate 180 degrees to exchange the spindle tool with the standby tool; press the reset button for the fifth time, The spindle will automatically trigger the knife mechanism to make the tool combination; press the reset button for the sixth time, the arm will automatically rotate to the standby position.

The advantages of the invention are:

First, non-professional maintenance personnel can also operate: the system automatically remembers ATC (AUTO TOOL CHANGE) tool change for the process, the operator does not need a professional mechanical background, just by using the reset button can easily make The ATC system responds to the standby position.

Second, simple steps, troubleshooting: through the restore button, click on the system will Automatically complete a program that allows the operator to press the reset button in a safe and secure state to return the ATC system to the standby position.

Third, the machine is quickly resumed to improve production efficiency: When the ATC system fails, it does not need to waste time waiting for the mechanical manufacturer to dispatch personnel to repair, so that the ATC system can be restored, so that the machine can restore processing capacity and improve productivity.

Fourth, reduce personnel injury: the general troubleshooting method needs to rotate the motor spindle of the ATC system. Usually the motor of the ATC system will be designed above or inside the machine, so that personnel may fall from the machine or enter the machine. Moving to the part causes an impact or injury event, and the recovery button eliminates the need to manually rotate the motor spindle to avoid casualties.

From the analysis of efficiency, the conventional method is used for troubleshooting for about 15 minutes, but it takes only 5 seconds to use the recovery key of the present invention to eliminate the ATC system failure.

Next, a preferred embodiment will be described, and the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and the drawings, so that the reviewing committee can have a more detailed understanding of the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. .

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention are made apparent. It is to be understood that the preferred embodiments are described below and are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the present invention is an automatic tool troubleshooting device, comprising: an operation panel 10, the operation panel 10 is electrically connected to the machine table, and the operation panel 10 is electrically connected to a recovery button 11, The reset button 11 is a setting of six consecutive cycles, and the reset button 11 is provided with an LED indicator 12.

The invention further provides an operation method of the automatic tool troubleshooting device, comprising: an operation panel 10, the operation panel 10 is electrically connected with a reset button 11, and the reset button 11 is set by pressing six times and one cycle; When it occurs, the software detects the position signal of the tool exchange system and the loose-clamp signal on the spindle, and automatically analyzes which process the tool exchange system fault occurs. When the reset button is pressed, it will automatically move to the next process of stopping; First, when the reset button 11 is pressed for the first time, the system automatically moves the axis to the tool change position; when the reset button 11 is pressed for the second time, the arm arm 30 automatically moves to the spindle side; pressing the reset button 11 Three times, a spindle 20 will automatically trigger the loosening mechanism to disengage the tool; press the reset button 11 for the fourth time, the arm 30 will automatically rotate 180 degrees to exchange the spindle 20 tool with the standby tool; press the recovery The fifth time the key 11 is, the spindle 20 automatically triggers the knife mechanism to engage the tool; finally, the tool arm 30 is automatically rotated to the standby position by pressing the reset button 11 for the sixth time.

In the above, the content of the troubleshooting does not need to be completed six times a cycle, but according to the software to determine which cycle the fault occurred, and automatically moves to the next cycle.

The LED indicator 12 can prompt the user to press the reset button 11 again.

The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is intended to be illustrative of the technical features of the present invention; The invention is subject to change and modification, and such changes and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
