US 4304040. MACHINING CENTER WITH INTERCHANGEABLE MAGAZINE TOOL STORAGE MEANS. Hans Staiger, Eckhard Knorr, Gppingen Federal Republic of Germany. 21a
P'
A plurality of magazine tool storage means, mounted on a machine frame, above a headstock, includes tool-holder supports each having receptors into which tool holders can be inserted. Each support is adjustable so that any of its receptors can be arranged in a predetermined changeover position for performing an automatic tool change between the support and the headstock. The magazine tool storage means are successively movable from a fitting position outside a machine working space in the region of the headstock to a standby position for the automatic tool change within the working space.
A fully automated tool changer system for multi-station forging machines is disclosed. This system provides a tool and die supporting head providing spaced support rails on which the tools or dies are supported during the transfer between the machine and the tooling rack. Such head is operable to properly position tools and dies which have different diameters for insertion into the cylindrical cavities in which they are mounted within the machine. A second tooling head is rotated to an operative position when the elements of the shear are to be changed. The tool heads are directly supported on the machine frame or the tool rack so that the loads of installing and removing the tooling are directly transmitted to stationery supports and need not be absorbed by the power transfer system. Further, the supports are arranged so that a high degree of positional accuracy is provided during the tool changing operations. Powered clamping means are provided to releasably lock the tooling in its installed position and is structured to assure that adequate locking is provided without jamming. A flushing system is provided to insure that debris does not cause difficulty during the tool changing operations.
