What is the significance of the direct tool change function of the vertical machining center V1165? Let's take a brief look at it next.
The direct tool change method of the CNC machining center means that the tool change process is completed by the tool magazine and the headstock. This is the most direct way to change the tool. According to whether the tool magazine of the machining center is shifted during the tool change process, the direct tool change mode can be divided into two types: the tool magazine shift mode and the tool magazine fixed mode. In the tool magazine switching mode, the tool magazine can be moved. Before the tool change, the tool magazine enters the tool change operation area, and the tool replacement is withdrawn from the tool area. This type of tool change in CNC Machining center is due to the movement of the tool magazine, the layout is more delicate, and the flexibility and adaptability are poor.
In the method of fixing the tool magazine of the machining center, the tool selection is mainly performed by the movement of the headstock. The magazine can be fixed, or it can be rotated only in place. The former can only be used for sequential tool selection and is suitable for machining centers with a small number of tools, while the latter can complete index selection. This type of tool selection reduces the movement of the tool magazine, which greatly simplifies the planning of the tool magazine of the machining center, and makes the control of the tool replacement process simple and reliable.
