Definitions
- This disclosure relates to a tool change arm that changes tools used by a machine tool.
- Some tool change arms are equipped with an arm base and multiple gripping members. Each of the multiple gripping members is rotatably attached to the arm base, and grips and releases the tool by rotating it.
- the present inventors have come up with the idea of adopting the following structure for such a tool change arm.
- the arm base is provided with an abutment surface that limits the rotation range of the gripping member by abutting against the gripping member at a position that prevents rotation.
- the gripping member repeatedly collides with the abutment surface by repeatedly rotating to the side that grips the tool and then rotating to the side that releases the grip. During this collision, the gripping member slides slightly against the abutment surface, causing wear to progress on the abutment surface and the gripping member. This wear can cause the tool changing arm to malfunction.
- This disclosure was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to reduce sliding when the gripping member collides with the abutment surface.
- the present disclosure relates to A tool exchange arm for exchanging a tool used by a machine tool,
- An arm base a plurality of gripping members each rotatably attached to the arm base and configured to grip and release the tool by pivoting;
