Device for replacing processing blades and method for replacing processing blades

Abstract

The invention relates to a replacement device (1) for replacing a machining blade (900) on a tool (800) comprising a body (810) and a tool head (820) on which at least one machining blade ( 900), each blade is fixed on the cutter head (820) by a screw. The device (1) includes: a positioner (50), which includes a support member (59) capable of supporting a tool body (810); a screwdriver station with a screw gun (60) capable of tightening and loosening screws, the The positioner (50) is capable of moving the tool relative to the screwdriver station; the clamping device (70) is capable of picking up and putting down the blade (900); the conveyor (500) includes a plurality of blade bases (510), Distributed along this conveyor is a first station (100) with a clamping device (70), a second station (200) with a turning mechanism (20) for turning the blade around its axis, a second station (200) with a Unload the third station (300) of the unloading mechanism (30) of the blade, and the fourth station (400) with the blade supply mechanism (40); the transmission mechanism (80), which can be placed on the positioner (50) and the clamping device (70) that moves between the first station (100) of the conveyor (500); and a control center (600) capable of automatically controlling one or more of the mechanisms and devices and / or the replacement The transmitter of the device (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a replacement device for replacing processing blades on a tool, said tool comprising a body and a tool head equipped with a plurality of processing blades, each blade being clamped on said tool head by a screw. Background technique [0002] Some tools used to machine parts have a machining head on which a number of machining inserts are mounted. This is particularly the case on some honeycomb routerbits, for example, which may house more than 20 machining inserts distributed over the face of the machining tool head. These blades need to be replaced with new blades after wear to ensure the processing quality. If the blade size is small, it is very time-consuming and tedious for the operator to change all these blades. Additionally, most inserts will have a portion of the side covered by the cutter head rim, making it difficult to hold the insert in a clamp. In the long run, this difficulty can predispose operators who change ...

Problems solved by technology

If the blade size is small, it is time consuming and tedious for the operator to replace all these blades

Also, most inserts are partially covered by the cutter head rim on the side, making it difficult to hold the insert in a clamp

In the long run, this difficulty can predispose operators who change the blades of such knives to musculoskeletal disorders
