Embodiment Construction

[0017] Hereinafter, a tool magazine as an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0018] 1 is a machining center equipped with a tool magazine 10, a table 3 is provided on a bed 2 in a manner to be slidable in the Y-axis direction (front-rear direction), and a slide table 4 is slidable in the X-axis direction (left-right direction) perpendicular to the Y-axis. ) is set on the bed 2 in a freely sliding manner. Further, a headstock 5 having a spindle 6 on the lower surface is provided on the front surface of the slide table 4 and above the table 3 so as to be slidable in the Z-axis direction (vertical direction) perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis. Furthermore, on the right side of the table 3 is provided a tool magazine 10 for storing various tools T1, T2 . In addition, the main shaft 6 is rotatable around a C axis parallel to the Z axis. Furthermore, the sliding motions of the table 3 , slide table 4 , and head...

Abstract

The present invention seeks to provide a tool magazine which can reduce the whole size of the device. Two tool gripping members (11a, 11b) are at least partially adjacent to each other and disposed in different heights in a direction of A rotary shaft, and the two adjacent tool gripping members are at least partially overlapped with each other as viewed from the direction of the rotary shaft. Therefore, when compared with the conventional tool magazine where all the arms are arranged in the same plane that is orthogonal to the rotary shaft, even if the number of the arms is not decreased, the radius (R1) of the tool magazine (10) can be decreased so that the size of the device can be downsized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tool magazine included in a machine tool such as a machining center, for example. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in a machine tool such as a machining center that attaches tools to a spindle to perform machining, a tool magazine capable of accommodating multiple types of tools is provided, and tools can be exchanged between the tool magazine and the spindle (for example, Patent Document 1). [0003] Here, according to Figure 4 A general tool magazine will be described. The tool magazine 41 includes a plurality of arms 42a, 42b, . . . provided radially around a rotary shaft (not shown). Furthermore, the arm 42a can hold a small-diameter tool T1 in a posture parallel to the rotation axis (that is, a posture perpendicular to the arm), and the arm 42b can hold a large tool T1 in a posture parallel to the rotation axis (that is, a posture perpendicular to the arm). diameter tool T2. In this tool magazine...
