In addition, the present invention can be implemented in a mode in which various modifications are made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, in addition to the following embodiments.
 <本発明のマシニングセンタが搭載される機械工作システムに関連するシステムの構成>
 まず、本発明の一実施形態であるマシニングセンタが搭載される機械工作システムを説明する前に、そのシステムに関連する機械工作システム(以下、単に「関連システム」という場合がある)について説明する。その関連システムは、図1~図3に示すように、ベース10と、ベース10上に載置されて配列された4つの作業機モジュール(以下、単に「モジュール」という場合がある)12とを含んで構成されている。図1には、外装パネルが張られた状態のものを、図2には、外装パネルの一部が開放された状態のものを、図3には、外装パネルを外した状態のものが示されている。なお、以下の説明では、操作パネル14が設けられている側を正面側と呼び、そのシステムに関する「前後」,「左右」,「上下」を、システムの正面側から見た場合における前後,左右,上下として扱うこととする。つまり、4つのモジュール12が配列されている左右方向が、配列方向であり、前後方向が、配列方向と交差(直交)する方向である交差方向である。
<System configuration related to a machining system on which the machining center of the present invention is mounted>
First, before describing a machining system on which a machining center according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted, a machining system related to the system (hereinafter, simply referred to as “related system”) will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the related system includes a base 10 and four work machine modules 12 (hereinafter simply referred to as “modules”) arranged and placed on the base 10. It is configured to include. FIG. 1 shows a state where the exterior panel is stretched, FIG. 2 shows a state where a part of the exterior panel is opened, and FIG. 3 shows a state where the exterior panel is removed. Has been. In the following description, the side on which the operation panel 14 is provided is referred to as the front side, and “front / rear”, “left / right”, and “up / down” related to the system are viewed from the front side of the system. , Treated as upper and lower. That is, the left-right direction in which the four modules 12 are arranged is the arrangement direction, and the front-rear direction is an intersecting direction that intersects (orthogonally) the arrangement direction.
 図1~図3に示した4つの作業機モジュール12の各々は、旋盤がモジュール化された旋盤モジュールであり、スピンドル16によってワークW4(図3参照)を回転させつつ、ヘッド18に保持されたバイト20によって作業位置に位置するワークW4に対して切削加工を行うものである。ちなみに、この関連システムでは、ワーク搬送装置22によって、各モジュール12を渡ってワークが搬送される。各モジュール12においては、ワーク搬送装置22によって搬送されてきたワークが、ワーク移送装置24によって、スピンドル16の先端に取り付けられた保持具であるチャックに装着される。そして、モジュール12による加工が完了したワークは、ワーク移送装置24によって、チャックからワーク搬送装置22に運ばれ、ワーク搬送装置22によって、次のモジュール12に搬送される。 Each of the four work machine modules 12 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is a lathe module in which a lathe is modularized, and is held by a head 18 while rotating a workpiece W4 (see FIG. 3) by a spindle 16. Cutting is performed on the workpiece W4 located at the work position by the cutting tool 20. Incidentally, in this related system, the work is transported across the modules 12 by the work transport device 22. In each module 12, the workpiece transferred by the workpiece transfer device 22 is mounted on a chuck, which is a holder attached to the tip of the spindle 16, by the workpiece transfer device 24. The workpiece that has been processed by the module 12 is transferred from the chuck to the workpiece transfer device 22 by the workpiece transfer device 24, and is transferred to the next module 12 by the workpiece transfer device 22.
 また、関連システムにおいては、上記のワーク搬送装置22およびワーク移送装置24に代えて、それら両者の作業を行うことが可能なワーク搬送脱着装置26を採用することも可能である。そのワーク搬送脱着装置26は、図4に示すように、ベース10の前面に取り付けられる1対のレール28に沿って配列方向に移動可能とされており、複数のモジュール12に渡ってワークを搬送することが可能である。また、ワーク搬送脱着装置26は、多関節型のアーム30と、そのアーム30の先端に設けられてワークを保持する保持具としてのチャック32とを有している。つまり、ワーク搬送着脱装置26は、そのアーム30をモジュール12の加工位置まで伸ばし、チャック32によって、加工位置からワークを受け取ること、および、加工位置にワークを装着させることが可能なものとされているのである。 Further, in the related system, it is also possible to adopt a work transfer detaching device 26 capable of performing both operations instead of the work transfer device 22 and the work transfer device 24 described above. As shown in FIG. 4, the workpiece transfer / removal device 26 is movable in the arrangement direction along a pair of rails 28 attached to the front surface of the base 10, and transfers workpieces across a plurality of modules 12. Is possible. In addition, the workpiece transfer / removal device 26 includes an articulated arm 30 and a chuck 32 that is provided at the tip of the arm 30 and holds a workpiece. In other words, the workpiece transporting attachment / detachment device 26 can extend the arm 30 to the processing position of the module 12, receive the workpiece from the processing position by the chuck 32, and attach the workpiece to the processing position. It is.
 ちなみに、図2および図3には、構成要素の一部やワークが省略されたり、模式的に表されたりしている。図2におけるW1および図3におけるW4は、設定された作業位置に位置するワークを、図2におけるW2は、搬送装置によって各モジュール12を渡って搬送されるワークを、W3は、各モジュール12内において作業位置へ移送される際のワークの存在空間領域を、それぞれ模式的に示している。 Incidentally, in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, some of the components and the work are omitted or schematically shown. W1 in FIG. 2 and W4 in FIG. 3 are works positioned at the set work position, W2 in FIG. 2 is a work conveyed across each module 12 by the conveying device, and W3 is in each module 12. 2 schematically shows the space area of the workpiece when it is transferred to the work position.
 図1ないし3から解るように、4つのモジュール12は、互いに、ほとんど等しい形状,寸法,構造を有するものとされており、配列方向において、設定された配列ピッチで、互いに近接して配列されている。各モジュール12の間隔は、50mm以下とされており、実際には、ほとんど隙間なく4つのモジュール12が配列されているのである。各モジュール12は、概して直方体形状とされており、左右方向の寸法(以下、「モジュール幅」という場合がある)が、前後方向の寸法(以下、「モジュール長」という場合がある)に対して相当に小さくされている。そして、ベース10は、4つのモジュール12が載置された場合における4つのモジュール12全体の左右方向の寸法と略等しい左右方向の寸法を有している。つまり、ベース10は、左右方向において、4つのモジュール12が丁度載置される大きさのものとされている。 As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, the four modules 12 have almost the same shape, size, and structure, and are arranged close to each other at a set arrangement pitch in the arrangement direction. Yes. The interval between the modules 12 is 50 mm or less, and actually, the four modules 12 are arranged with almost no gap. Each module 12 has a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the horizontal dimension (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “module width”) is the same as the longitudinal dimension (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “module length”). It is considerably small. And the base 10 has the dimension of the left-right direction substantially the same as the dimension of the left-right direction of the whole four modules 12 when the four modules 12 are mounted. In other words, the base 10 has such a size that the four modules 12 are just placed in the left-right direction.
 ベース10は、並べられて互いに固定された2つのベースユニット34を含んで構成されている。各ベースユニット34は、図5に示すように、2つのモジュール12が載置可能なものとなっている。それら2つのベースユニット34は、各々が規格化されており、互いに同じ形状,寸法,構造のものとされている。 The base 10 includes two base units 34 that are aligned and fixed to each other. As shown in FIG. 5, each base unit 34 can mount two modules 12. Each of these two base units 34 is standardized and has the same shape, size, and structure.
 図5に示すように、各ベースユニット34には、それに載置されるモジュールの数に応じた数のレール対36が、具体的には、2つのレール対36が、配列方向に並んで設けられている。1つのレール対36は、間隔をおいて交差方向(前後方向)に延びるようにして敷設された1対のレール38からなる。レール38は、モジュール12の引き出しの際のモジュール12が移動する軌道を画定するものとなっている。一方、各モジュール12には、前後のそれぞれに1対の車輪40が、つまり、2対の車輪40が、回転可能にベッド42に保持されている。それら2対の車輪40が、1対のレール38を転動することにより、モジュール12は、容易に交差方向における両側、詳しくは、前方側にも後方側にも、ベースユニット34から引き出すことが可能とされているのである。ちなみに、図2における一番右側のモジュール12、および、図3における右から2番目のモジュール12が、交差方向における前方に引き出されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, each base unit 34 is provided with a number of rail pairs 36 corresponding to the number of modules mounted thereon, specifically, two rail pairs 36 arranged side by side in the arrangement direction. It has been. One rail pair 36 is composed of a pair of rails 38 laid so as to extend in the intersecting direction (front-rear direction) at an interval. The rail 38 defines a track along which the module 12 moves when the module 12 is pulled out. On the other hand, in each module 12, a pair of wheels 40 on the front and rear sides, that is, two pairs of wheels 40 are rotatably held by a bed 42. As these two pairs of wheels 40 roll on a pair of rails 38, the module 12 can be easily pulled out of the base unit 34 on both sides in the crossing direction, more specifically on the front and rear sides. It is possible. Incidentally, the rightmost module 12 in FIG. 2 and the second module 12 from the right in FIG. 3 are drawn forward in the crossing direction.
 さらに言えば、モジュール12は、ベースユニット34から離脱可能なまでに引き出し可能とされている。そのモジュール12の引き出しが、台車44を利用して後方から行われた状態を、図5に示している。その台車44は、ベースユニット34に設けられた1対のレール36と同じ断面形状で同じ間隔とされた1対のレール46を有しており、1対のレール46が1対のレール38を延長するように、ベース10に対してセットされる。その状態で、モジュール12の一部、あるいは、全体を、台車44上に移動させることが可能とされているのである。 Furthermore, the module 12 can be pulled out before it can be detached from the base unit 34. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the module 12 is pulled out from behind using the carriage 44. The carriage 44 has a pair of rails 46 having the same cross-sectional shape and the same interval as the pair of rails 36 provided in the base unit 34, and the pair of rails 46 has a pair of rails 38. Set against base 10 to extend. In this state, a part or the whole of the module 12 can be moved onto the carriage 44.
 <本実施形態のマシニングセンタが搭載される機械工作システムの構成>
 上述したように、上記の関連システムは、各旋盤モジュール12がベース10から離脱するまでに引き出し可能とされており、他の作業機モジュールに交換すること、例えば、図6,図7に示した別の作業機モジュール50に交換することが可能である。この作業機モジュール50は、縦型マシニングセンタがモジュール化されたものであり、後に詳しく説明するが、ドリルやエンドミル等によってワークテーブルに固定保持されたワークW5に対して切削加工を行うものである。以下の説明において、この作業機モジュール50を、ドリミルモジュール50と呼ぶ場合がある。なお、このドリミルモジュール50が、本発明の実施形態のマシニングセンタである。

As will be described in detail later, the work machine module 50 performs a cutting process on a work W5 fixed and held on a work table by a drill, an end mill, or the like. In the following description, this work machine module 50 may be referred to as a drill mill module 50.

 ドリミルモジュール50は、前述の旋盤モジュール12と同じベッド42を利用しており、同じモジュール幅のものとされている。つまり、ドリミルモジュール50も、旋盤モジュール12と同様に、モジュール幅が、前後方向の寸法に対して相当小さくされている。以下に、その小さなモジュール幅を実現したドリミルモジュール50の構成およびそのドリミルモジュール50を含んで構成される機械工作システムの構成について、詳しく説明する。 The drill mill module 50 uses the same bed 42 as the lathe module 12 and has the same module width. In other words, the module width of the drill mill module 50 is made considerably smaller than the dimension in the front-rear direction, similarly to the lathe module 12. Hereinafter, the configuration of the drill mill module 50 that realizes the small module width and the configuration of the machining system that includes the drill mill module 50 will be described in detail.
 ドリミルモジュール50は、図6,図7に示すように、複数の車輪40を回転可能に保持するベッド42と、そのベッド42上に設けられて加工作業を行うモジュール本体52と、そのモジュール本体52を制御する制御盤54とを備えている。モジュール本体52は、ベッド42上に固定される機械本体60と、ツールを下端部において保持する主軸ヘッド62と、その主軸ヘッド62を上下方向に移動させるヘッド昇降装置64と、主軸ヘッド62を互いに直交する2方向に移動させることで水平面に沿って移動させるヘッド移動装置66と、ワークW5を保持するワークテーブル68とを備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the drill mill module 50 includes a bed 42 that rotatably holds a plurality of wheels 40, a module main body 52 that is provided on the bed 42 and performs a processing operation, and the module main body.

 機械本体60は、自身の上部において、ヘッド移動装置66およびヘッド昇降装置64を支持している。機械本体60の上部には、第1スライダ70が、第1スライダ70に設けられた1対のガイドレール72と機械本体60に設けられた複数のベアリング74とによって前後方向に摺動可能に支持されている。その第1スライダ70は、前後移動用モータ76およびボールねじ機構等を含んで構成される前後移動機構によって、前後方向に移動させられる。また、第1スライダ70には、主軸ヘッド62を保持するヘッド保持体としての第2スライダ80が、第1スライダ70の前面に設けられた1対のガイドレール82に沿って左右方向に摺動可能に支持されている。その第2スライダ80は、左右移動用モータ84およびボールねじ機構86等を含んで構成される左右移動機構によって、左右方向に移動させられる。つまり、それら第1スライダ70,1対のガイドレール72,ベアリング74,前後移動機構,第2スライダ80,1対のガイドレール82,左右移動機構等を含んで、ヘッド移動装置66が構成されているのである。 The machine body 60 supports a head moving device 66 and a head lifting device 64 at the upper part of the machine body 60. A first slider 70 is supported on the upper portion of the machine body 60 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction by a pair of guide rails 72 provided on the first slider 70 and a plurality of bearings 74 provided on the machine body 60. Has been. The first slider 70 is moved in the front-rear direction by a front-rear movement mechanism including a front-rear movement motor 76 and a ball screw mechanism. Further, a second slider 80 as a head holding body for holding the spindle head 62 slides in the first slider 70 in the left-right direction along a pair of guide rails 82 provided on the front surface of the first slider 70. Supported as possible. The second slider 80 is moved in the left-right direction by a left-right moving mechanism including a left-right moving motor 84, a ball screw mechanism 86, and the like. That is, the head moving device 66 includes the first slider 70, a pair of guide rails 72, a bearing 74, a forward / backward moving mechanism, a second slider 80, a pair of guide rails 82, a left / right moving mechanism, and the like. It is.
 主軸ヘッド62は、主軸ヘッド62に設けられた1対のガイドレール90と第2スライダ80に設けられた複数のベアリング92とによって上下方向に摺動可能に、第2スライダ80に支持されている。なお、ヘッド昇降装置64は、ヘッド昇降用モータ94およびボールねじ機構等を主要構成要素とするものであり、そのヘッド昇降装置64によって、主軸ヘッド62が上下方向に移動させられる。 The spindle head 62 is supported by the second slider 80 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction by a pair of guide rails 90 provided on the spindle head 62 and a plurality of bearings 92 provided on the second slider 80. . The head lifting / lowering device 64 includes a head lifting / lowering motor 94 and a ball screw mechanism as main components, and the spindle head 62 is moved in the vertical direction by the head lifting / lowering device 64.
 主軸ヘッド62は、上述のようなヘッド移動装置66およびヘッド昇降装置64の構成によって、機械本体60の前面よりも前方側の位置で支持されているのである。その主軸ヘッド62は、鉛直方向に延びてツールであるドリルやエンドミル等が下端において保持する主軸100と、その主軸100をそれの軸線まわりに回転させる主軸回転モータ102を主体として構成された主軸回転装置とを有している。 The spindle head 62 is supported at a position ahead of the front surface of the machine body 60 by the configuration of the head moving device 66 and the head lifting device 64 as described above. The spindle head 62 is a spindle rotation mainly composed of a spindle 100 that extends in the vertical direction and is held at the lower end by a drill or end mill as a tool, and a spindle rotation motor 102 that rotates the spindle 100 about its axis. Device.
 ワークテーブル68は、機械本体60の前面から前方に張り出した状態で支持されている。モジュール本体52は、そのワークテーブル68を前後方向に延びる軸線まわりに回転させるテーブル回転装置106を備えており、ワークW5を傾斜させた状態でツールによる加工を行うことが可能とされている。なお、テーブル回転装置は、前後方向に限らず、左右方向に延びる軸線まわりに回転させるもの、あるいは、前後方向と左右方向との間、つまり、水平方向に延びる軸線まわりに回転させるものを採用することも可能である。さらに言えば、テーブル回転装置は、鉛直軸線まわりに回転させるものや、水平軸線まわりと鉛直軸線まわりとの両者に回転させるものを採用することも可能である。 The work table 68 is supported in a state of protruding forward from the front surface of the machine body 60. The module main body 52 includes a table rotating device 106 that rotates the work table 68 about an axis extending in the front-rear direction, and can be processed with a tool while the work W5 is inclined. Note that the table rotating device is not limited to the front-rear direction, and employs a device that rotates about the axis extending in the left-right direction, or a device that rotates between the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, that is, about the axis extending in the horizontal direction. It is also possible. Furthermore, the table rotating device may be one that rotates around the vertical axis, or one that rotates both around the horizontal axis and around the vertical axis.
 なお、当該機械工作システムにおいては、図4に示した多関節型のアーム30を有するワーク搬送着脱装置26によって、ワークが隣のモジュールからワークテーブル68まで運ばれるとともに、ドリミルモジュール50によって加工が完了したワークが、ワークテーブル68から次のモジュールまで運ばれるようになっている。 In the machining system, the workpiece is carried from the adjacent module to the workpiece table 68 by the workpiece conveying / detaching apparatus 26 having the articulated arm 30 shown in FIG. The completed work is transported from the work table 68 to the next module.
 ドリミルモジュール50は、ワークに切削加工を施す際、ワークにクーラントをかけつつ切削加工が行われる。また、切削加工において、切削屑が発生する。本機械工作システムは、それらクーラントおよび切削屑に配慮した構成となっている。具体的には、図6,図7に示すように、ベースユニット34の内部に、クーラントを収容するクーラントタンク110が内蔵されている。そして、モジュール本体60の前方側に設けられたワークテーブル68の下方に位置するように、ベースユニット34の前方側の上面には、クーラントおよび切削屑を、クーラントタンク110に受け入れるための受入口112が設けられている。そのクーラントタンク110は、詳細な説明は省略するが、内部に、スクリューコンベアが設けられており、クーラントと切削屑とが分けられ、切削屑のみが、クーラントランク110の後方側に送られるように構成されている。クーラントタンク110は、ベースユニット34の後方にはみ出しており、そのはみ出した後端部にスクリューコンベアの排出ダクト114が配設されている。つまり、モジュール50の前方側の作業位置において発生した切削屑は、クーラントタンク110内でスクリューコンベアによって後方側に送られ、排出ダクト114を通って、当該システムの後方に排出されるようになっているのである。なお、それらクーラントタンク110およびスクリューコンベア等を含んで、ベース10が受け入れた切削屑を、ベース10の後方側から排出する切削屑排出装置が構成されている。 The drill mill module 50 performs cutting while applying coolant to the workpiece when cutting the workpiece. Further, cutting waste is generated in the cutting process. This machining system has a configuration in consideration of the coolant and cutting waste. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a coolant tank 110 for containing a coolant is built in the base unit 34. A receiving port 112 for receiving coolant and cutting waste in the coolant tank 110 is provided on the upper surface of the front side of the base unit 34 so as to be positioned below the work table 68 provided on the front side of the module body 60. Is provided. Although the detailed description of the coolant tank 110 is omitted, a screw conveyor is provided inside the coolant tank 110 so that the coolant and the cutting waste are separated so that only the cutting waste is sent to the rear side of the coolant trunk 110. It is configured. The coolant tank 110 protrudes behind the base unit 34, and a discharge duct 114 of the screw conveyor is disposed at the protruding rear end. That is, the cutting waste generated at the work position on the front side of the module 50 is sent to the rear side by the screw conveyor in the coolant tank 110 and is discharged to the rear side of the system through the discharge duct 114. It is. In addition, the cutting waste discharging apparatus which discharges the cutting waste which the base 10 received including the coolant tank 110, a screw conveyor, etc. from the back side of the base 10 is comprised.
 また、ドリミルモジュール50は、主軸100に取り付けられる複数のツールを収納するツールマガジン120を有しており、そのツールマガジン120に収納された複数のツールのうちの1つと、主軸100に取り付けられているツールとを自動で交換可能な構成とされている。ツールマガジン120は、機械本体60の内部に収容されており、ツールの交換時に、図7に示すように、機械本体60の前面に設けられた開口から突出するようになっている。なお、ドリミルモジュール50による加工作業中には、図6に示すように、その開口は、カバー124によって塞がれており、クーラントや切削屑等が機械本体60の内部に入り込んで、ツールマガジン120に収納されたツール等に付着することが防止されるようになっている。 The drill mill module 50 includes a tool magazine 120 that stores a plurality of tools attached to the main shaft 100, and one of the plurality of tools stored in the tool magazine 120 is attached to the main shaft 100. The tool can be automatically replaced with the existing tool. The tool magazine 120 is accommodated in the machine main body 60, and protrudes from an opening provided on the front surface of the machine main body 60 as shown in FIG. During the machining operation by the drill mill module 50, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening is closed by the cover 124, and coolant, cutting waste, etc. enter the inside of the machine body 60, and the tool magazine Adhering to a tool or the like housed in 120 is prevented.
 図8に示すように、ツールマガジン120は、複数のツールホルダ(以下、単に「ホルダ」と呼ぶ場合がある)130を有しており、それぞれがツールを上下方向に延びる姿勢で保持している。つまり、ツールマガジン120は、複数のツールを、それぞれの軸線が平行になるように収容するものとなっている。なお、図8(a)に示すように、通常、1つ以上のホルダ130は、ツールを保持しておらず、主軸100に取り付けられているツールを受け取るために、空けられている。ちなみに、この図8におけるTは、各ホルダ130に保持されるツールの収納空間領域を、模式的に示している。 As shown in FIG. 8, the tool magazine 120 has a plurality of tool holders (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “holders”) 130, and each holds the tool in a vertically extending posture. . In other words, the tool magazine 120 accommodates a plurality of tools such that the respective axes are parallel. As shown in FIG. 8A, one or more holders 130 normally do not hold a tool and are open to receive a tool attached to the main shaft 100. Incidentally, T in FIG. 8 schematically shows the storage space area of the tool held by each holder 130.
 上記の複数のツールホルダ130は、前後方向(交差方向)に長い長円に沿って配列されている。具体的には、ツールマガジン120は、2つのスプロケット132とそれらに掛け渡されたローラチェーン134とを有しており、そのローラチェーン134に複数のツールホルダ130が固定されることで、それら複数のツールホルダ130は、交差方向に長い長円に沿って配列されている。つまり、ツールマガジン120は、複数のツールホルダ130が長円に沿った配列とされているため、左右方向(配列方向)の寸法が小さくされているのである。 The plurality of tool holders 130 are arranged along an ellipse that is long in the front-rear direction (cross direction). Specifically, the tool magazine 120 has two sprockets 132 and a roller chain 134 spanned between them, and a plurality of tool holders 130 are fixed to the roller chain 134, so The tool holders 130 are arranged along an ellipse that is long in the intersecting direction. In other words, the tool magazine 120 has a plurality of tool holders 130 arranged along an ellipse, so that the dimension in the left-right direction (arrangement direction) is reduced.
 ツールマガジン120は、前方側(図における右側)のスプロケット132を回転駆動させるためのスプロケット駆動用モータ136と、そのスプロケット駆動用モータ136の回転をスプロケット132に伝達する減速機138を有している。ツールマガジン120は、スプロケット駆動用モータ136によってスプロケット132を回転させることで、ローラチェーン134を回転させて複数のツールホルダ130を周回させることが可能とされている。つまり、2つのスプロケット132,ローラチェーン134,スプロケット駆動用モータ136,減速機138を含んで、ツールホルダ周回機構が構成されているのである。 The tool magazine 120 has a sprocket drive motor 136 for rotationally driving the sprocket 132 on the front side (right side in the drawing), and a speed reducer 138 for transmitting the rotation of the sprocket drive motor 136 to the sprocket 132. . The tool magazine 120 can rotate the roller chain 134 and rotate the plurality of tool holders 130 by rotating the sprocket 132 by the sprocket driving motor 136. That is, the tool holder rotating mechanism is configured by including the two sprockets 132, the roller chain 134, the sprocket driving motor 136, and the reduction gear 138.
 また、ツールマガジン120は、機械本体60の内部に前後方向に延びる姿勢で固定された1対のガイドレール150と、自身に固定された被ガイド部としてのベアリング152とによって、前後方向に移動可能とされている。そして、ドリミルモジュール50は、上記のツールマガジン120を前後方向に移動させるマガジン移動装置150を備えている。そのマガジン移動装置150は、ボールねじ機構154と、そのボールねじ機構154のボールねじ156を回転させるマガジン移動用モータ158とを含んで構成される。ボールねじ機構154のナット160が、ツールマガジン120の下面に固定されており、機械本体60に固定されたマガジン移動用モータ158によってボールねじ機構154を回転させることで、ツールマガジン120全体を前後方向に移動させることが可能とされている。 The tool magazine 120 is movable in the front-rear direction by a pair of guide rails 150 fixed in a posture extending in the front-rear direction inside the machine body 60 and a bearing 152 as a guided portion fixed to itself. It is said that. The drill mill module 50 includes a magazine moving device 150 that moves the tool magazine 120 in the front-rear direction. The magazine moving device 150 includes a ball screw mechanism 154 and a magazine moving motor 158 that rotates the ball screw 156 of the ball screw mechanism 154. The nut 160 of the ball screw mechanism 154 is fixed to the lower surface of the tool magazine 120. By rotating the ball screw mechanism 154 by the magazine moving motor 158 fixed to the machine body 60, the entire tool magazine 120 is moved in the front-rear direction. It is possible to move to.
 ドリミルモジュール50は、マガジン移動装置150によって、ツールマガジン120が前進させられて、そのツールマガジン120の前端部が、機械本体60の開口から突出するように構成されている。そして、ツールマガジン120が前進端に位置する状態において、複数のツールホルダ130のうちの交換に供せられるもの、つまり、前端に位置するものが、主軸100がヘッド移動装置66によって移動させられる領域内に位置させられるようになっており、その前端に位置するホルダ130に対して、主軸100のツール交換が行われるのである。 The drill mill module 50 is configured such that the tool magazine 120 is advanced by the magazine moving device 150 and the front end portion of the tool magazine 120 protrudes from the opening of the machine body 60. In the state in which the tool magazine 120 is located at the forward end, the one that is used for replacement among the plurality of tool holders 130, that is, the one that is located at the front end, is an area in which the spindle 100 is moved by the head moving device 66. The tool of the main shaft 100 is exchanged with respect to the holder 130 located at the front end thereof.
 ツール交換について詳しく説明すれば、まず、マガジン移動装置150によりツールマガジン120を前進させるとともに、ヘッド移動装置66により主軸100を交換位置に移動させる。なお、ツールマガジン120においては、ツール交換に先立って、ツールを保持していないホルダ130がツールマガジン120の前端に位置させられている。ホルダ130は、2つの爪で把持する構成のものであり、主軸100が後方に移動させられて、ホルダ130の2つの爪の隙間から主軸100に取り付けられたツールが嵌め込まれ、そのツールをホルダ130に把持させる。次いで、主軸100が上昇させられて、主軸100からツールが離脱させられるのである。続いて、ツールホルダ130を周回させ、主軸100に取り付けるツールをツールマガジン120の前端に位置させる。そして、主軸100が下降させられて、主軸100にツールが取り付けられる。次いで、主軸100を前方に移動させるとともに、ツールマガジン120を後退させることで、ツールがホルダ130から抜き出され、ツール交換が終了する。 Describing in detail the tool replacement, first, the tool magazine 120 is advanced by the magazine moving device 150, and the spindle 100 is moved to the replacement position by the head moving device 66. In the tool magazine 120, a holder 130 that does not hold a tool is positioned at the front end of the tool magazine 120 prior to tool replacement. The holder 130 is configured to be gripped by two claws, and the main shaft 100 is moved rearward, and a tool attached to the main shaft 100 is fitted through a gap between the two claws of the holder 130. 130. Next, the main shaft 100 is raised, and the tool is detached from the main shaft 100. Subsequently, the tool holder 130 is rotated so that the tool attached to the spindle 100 is positioned at the front end of the tool magazine 120. Then, the spindle 100 is lowered and a tool is attached to the spindle 100. Next, the spindle 100 is moved forward and the tool magazine 120 is retracted, whereby the tool is extracted from the holder 130, and the tool replacement is completed.
 なお、ツールマガジン120が出入りする機械本体50の開口には、上述したように、カバー124が、開閉可能に設けられている。そのカバー124は、1対の扉170を有する両開き扉とされ、それら1対の扉170の各々が、上下方向に延びる軸線まわりに回動可能とされている。マシニングセンタ52は、マガジン移動装置150によるツールマガジン120の前後方向の直線移動に連動して、1対の扉170がその扉の回動軸線まわりに回動させられるようになっている。つまり、ツールマガジン120の前進に連動して、1対の扉170が開き、ツールマガジン120の後退に連動して、1対の扉170が閉じるようになっている。 In addition, as described above, the cover 124 is provided at the opening of the machine body 50 through which the tool magazine 120 enters and exits so as to be openable and closable. The cover 124 is a double door having a pair of doors 170, and each of the pair of doors 170 is rotatable about an axis extending in the vertical direction. The machining center 52 is configured such that the pair of doors 170 are rotated about the rotation axis of the door in conjunction with the linear movement of the tool magazine 120 in the front-rear direction by the magazine moving device 150. That is, the pair of doors 170 is opened in conjunction with the advance of the tool magazine 120, and the pair of doors 170 is closed in conjunction with the backward movement of the tool magazine 120.
 以下に、ツールマガジン120の直線移動に1対の扉170の回動動作を連動させる連動機構について詳しく説明する。ツールマガジン120の下面前方側には、スロット172が形成されたカム板174が、1対設けられている。なお、スロット172は、図10に示すように、ツールマガジン120の移動方向に直交する方向に延びるものである。一方、1対の扉170の各々には、それの背面から直交するように支持バー176が固定されており、その支持バー176は、後端においてローラ178を回転可能に支持している。そして、そのローラ178が、カム板174のスロット172に係合しており、スロット172内を転動可能とされている。つまり、それらスロット172とローラ178とを含んで、カム機構180が構成されており、スロット172がカム溝として機能するとともに、ローラ178がカムフォロワとして機能するものとなっている。また、カム板174の後端面と、ツールマガジン120のカム板174を支持する箇所の前端面との間に、弾性体としてのスプリング182が介在させられている。 Hereinafter, an interlocking mechanism that interlocks the rotation of the pair of doors 170 with the linear movement of the tool magazine 120 will be described in detail. A pair of cam plates 174 in which slots 172 are formed are provided on the lower front side of the tool magazine 120. The slot 172 extends in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the tool magazine 120 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, a support bar 176 is fixed to each of the pair of doors 170 so as to be orthogonal to the rear surface thereof, and the support bar 176 supports the roller 178 rotatably at the rear end. The roller 178 is engaged with the slot 172 of the cam plate 174 and can roll in the slot 172. That is, the cam mechanism 180 is configured including the slot 172 and the roller 178, and the slot 172 functions as a cam groove and the roller 178 functions as a cam follower. Further, a spring 182 as an elastic body is interposed between the rear end surface of the cam plate 174 and the front end surface of the tool magazine 120 where the cam plate 174 is supported.
 ツールマガジン120がマガジン移動装置150によって前進させられると、スロット172が形成されたカム板174も前進し、図10に示すように、ローラ178がスロット172内を転動しつつ前進させられる。そして、1対の扉170の各々は、支持バー176を介して前方側に押され、扉170の回動軸線まわりに回動させられる。つまり、1対の扉170の各々が、開かれるのである。なお、そのツールマガジン120が前進させられる際に、そのツールマガジン120の前端部は、1対の扉170の背面に接触しないようになっている。 When the tool magazine 120 is advanced by the magazine moving device 150, the cam plate 174 in which the slot 172 is formed is also advanced, and the roller 178 is advanced while rolling in the slot 172 as shown in FIG. Each of the pair of doors 170 is pushed forward through the support bar 176 and rotated about the rotation axis of the door 170. That is, each of the pair of doors 170 is opened. When the tool magazine 120 is advanced, the front end portion of the tool magazine 120 is not in contact with the back surfaces of the pair of doors 170.
また、1対のカム機構172の各々は、図10(g)に示すように、1対の扉170の各々が、ツールマガジン120の移動方向に平行になるまで開かれた状態において、カムフォロワ176は、カム溝174の外側の端に位置するようになっている。つまり、カム部材178に前方向きの力が作用しても、カム機構174が動作できないため、カム部材178は前進できず、かつ、扉170がそれ以上開かれないようになっているのである。したがって、扉170の一部が、隣り合うモジュールの作業領域に、侵入することはない。そして、ツールマガジン120は、それの本体部が、図10(h)に示すように、スプリング180を圧縮しつつ、カム部材178に対して相対移動し、前進端まで移動するのである。したがって、この連動機構は、ツールマガジン120が前進端に位置する前に、1対の扉170の各々が、ツールマガジン120の移動方向に平行になるまで開かれるようになっているのである。 Further, as shown in FIG. 10G, each of the pair of cam mechanisms 172 has a cam follower 176 in a state where each of the pair of doors 170 is opened until it is parallel to the moving direction of the tool magazine 120. Is positioned at the outer end of the cam groove 174. That is, even if a forward force is applied to the cam member 178, the cam mechanism 174 cannot operate, so the cam member 178 cannot advance and the door 170 cannot be opened any further. Therefore, a part of the door 170 does not enter the work area of the adjacent module. As shown in FIG. 10H, the tool magazine 120 moves relative to the cam member 178 and moves to the forward end while compressing the spring 180 as shown in FIG. Therefore, this interlocking mechanism is opened until each of the pair of doors 170 is parallel to the moving direction of the tool magazine 120 before the tool magazine 120 is positioned at the forward end.
 以上のように説明した本実施形態のマシニングセンタであるドリミルモジュール50は、マガジン移動装置150によってツールマガジン120を移動させて、主軸100の移動領域内に位置させることが可能であるため、主軸10の移動領域をツール交換のために広げる必要がなく、コンパクトなものとなっている。また、本マシニングセンタ50は、カバー124が閉じた機械本体60内において、予め交換に供されるツールホルダ130をツールマガジンの前端に位置させておくことが可能であるため、工具交換時間を短くすることが可能である。 Since the drill mill module 50 that is the machining center of the present embodiment described above can move the tool magazine 120 by the magazine moving device 150 and can be positioned in the moving region of the main shaft 100, the main shaft 10 It is not necessary to widen the movement area for tool replacement, and it is compact. Further, the machining center 50 can shorten the tool change time because the tool holder 130 to be replaced in advance can be positioned at the front end of the tool magazine in the machine body 60 with the cover 124 closed. It is possible.
 本実施形態のマシニングセンタ50においては、カバー124は1対の扉170で構成されていたが、1枚の扉やシャッタ(鎧戸)等を採用することも可能である。ただし、本マシニングセンタ50のカバー124は、1対の扉170で構成されているため、シャッタ式のカバーのように開いた時の収納スペース(戸袋)が必要ないため、当該マシニングセンタのコンパクト化が図られている。また、本発明のマシニングセンタは、カバーの開閉を行うための駆動源を備えていてもよい。本実施形態のマシニングセンタ50は、マガジン移動装置150によるツールマガジン120に移動に連動して、カバー124の開閉が行われるように構成されているため、カバーの開閉を行う駆動源が必要なく、当該マシニングセンタがコンパクトなものとなっている。 In the machining center 50 of the present embodiment, the cover 124 is composed of a pair of doors 170, but it is also possible to employ a single door, a shutter (an armor door), or the like. However, since the cover 124 of the machining center 50 is composed of a pair of doors 170, there is no need for a storage space (door pocket) when opened like a shutter-type cover, so that the machining center can be made compact. It has been. Moreover, the machining center of the present invention may include a drive source for opening and closing the cover. The machining center 50 of the present embodiment is configured such that the cover 124 is opened and closed in conjunction with the movement of the tool magazine 120 by the magazine moving device 150, so that there is no need for a drive source for opening and closing the cover. The machining center is compact.
 さらに言えば、本実施形態のマシニングセンタ50においては、ツールマガジン120が前進端に位置する前に、1対の扉170の各々が、ツールマガジン120の移動方向に平行になるまで開かれるように構成されている。そのため、図10(g)に示すように、1対の扉170の回動軸線と、ツールマガジン120の側面との間隔Lを小さくすることが可能である。したがって、機械本体60の幅(配列方向の寸法)、つまり、当該マシニングセンタ50の幅が、小さくされているのである。このようにコンパクト化された本マシニングセンタ52は、上述した複数の作業機モジュールが配列される機械工作システムのコンパクトに繋がるため、そのような機械工作システムに、特に有効なものとなっている。 Furthermore, the machining center 50 of the present embodiment is configured such that each of the pair of doors 170 is opened until the tool magazine 120 is parallel to the moving direction of the tool magazine 120 before the tool magazine 120 is positioned at the forward end. Has been. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10G, the distance L between the rotation axis of the pair of doors 170 and the side surface of the tool magazine 120 can be reduced. Therefore, the width of the machine body 60 (dimension in the arrangement direction), that is, the width of the machining center 50 is reduced. Since the machining center 52 thus made compact is connected to the above-described compact machining system in which a plurality of work implement modules are arranged, it is particularly effective for such a machining system.
