Talk about 5-axis small machining center tool change, tool selection, tool loading

Xiaobian mainly introduces how to change the knife, select the knife and load the knife in the 5-axis small machining center. The small five-axis machining center is a very popular machine tool. It is mainly used in college maker studios, scientific research units to process small parts and college teaching. Its biggest feature is high cost performance, good stability, high reliability and processing. High precision. Small machining centers can process some flat, curved, and beveled parts. The biggest disadvantage of the small five machining center is that there are certain constraints on the dimensions of the machined parts.





The following describes the small 5-axis machining center tool change, tool selection, tool change tool
1) The tool on the spindle and the tool to be changed in the magazine are optional tool holders.
Tool magazine → Select tool → Change tool position → Robot remove tool → Load spindle, and load the tool removed from the spindle into the tool holder of the tool to be changed.

2) The tool on the spindle is placed in a fixed holder. The tool to be changed is an optional holder or a fixed holder.
When the tool selection process is the same as above, when the tool is removed from the spindle and sent back to the tool magazine during tool change, the tool magazine should be rotated beforehand to the position of the spindle tool.

3) The tool on the spindle is an optional tool holder, and the tool to be changed is a fixed tool holder.





It is very simple to load the knife. It is that the tool can be loaded into the tool magazine. It is enough to select a tool holder to load the tool into the tool magazine, but the condition is the type of tool installed after the knife is installed. The purpose and the number of the tool holder mounted on the magazine are to be recorded for programmatic use.


There are three methods for selecting a knife for a small machining center. They are a sequence selection knife, a random selection knife, and a computer memory selection knife:
1. Order selection knife: The order selection knife is very simple. It is the order of the micro-machining center's technical process (the order of the tools). The tool is settled in the tool holder. The time-division small processing base using the tool is selected one by one according to the order. After use, put back the original position.

2. Select the knife at random: the tool holder code is used to select the tool, encode the tool holder in the tool magazine, and put the tool corresponding to the tool holder code into the specified tool holder. At the same time, the tool address is used to indicate the tool position of the tool holder. .
Computer memory selection knife: The tool number and the orientation of the tool holder may be recalled in the memory of the computer or the memory of the programmable controller corresponding to the tool holder number. The tool registration address is changed, and the computer memory is also changed. The tool magazine is equipped with azimuth detection equipment, and the tool can be taken out and sent back.
