The vertical CNC machining center has the ability to efficiently process complex curved workpieces and special-shaped contour workpieces, and it also has the advanced function of automatically changing processing tools, which can realize automatic transfer processing of various types of workpieces, especially multi-process complex workpieces. According to the different types of vertical machining centers and processing requirements, the common tool magazines mainly include hat type tool magazines, disc manipulator tool magazines, chain tool magazines, etc. Now let's take a look at how to change the tool in a vertical machining center?
1. The turret head mode is a tool change mode in which the required tool is moved to the corresponding position through the rotation of the brick tower. It is generally a sequential tool change, which has the advantages of compact structure and short tool change time. It is generally used for machining crankshafts and other slender workpieces that require multiple procedures to complete complex process processing occasions.
2. The direct tool change method means that the tool change process is completed by the cooperation of the tool magazine and the spindle box. This is a direct tool change method.
3. The way of manipulator tool change means that the manipulator grasps the tool, selects the tool and changes the tool when changing the tool.
