Modular intelligent tool changeover method and management system

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent tool changeover system and method applied to a tool machine. The system comprises a plurality of tools, a tool machine carrier, a tool storage device, a tool conveying device, a tool changeover device, a control platform and a central control unit; a tool detecting device is arranged in the tool machine carrier, and is used for measuring the tool length andthe tool diameter of each of the tools used in the tool machine; the multiple tools and a tool recognizer are arranged in the tool storage device; a ring shank of each tool is provided with a recognition sign; the tool conveying device is provided with a mechanical arm and a sliding rail; and the mechanical arm is movably arranged on the sliding rail; the method includes an automatic changeover mode: detecting whether a tool is worn or not; taking out the tool; and checking the identity of the tool and replacing the tool; and a special changeover mode: conveying the tools out of a production line; replacing the tools and checking the identity of each tool. The intelligent tool changeover system and method have the effects that the production stagnation period is shortened, the tools are accurately and rapidly replaced, and the production efficiency is increased.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tool exchange system and method, in particular to a system and method that establishes an identification mark on a tool and uses a tool recognizer to recognize the tool, and can automatically replace the processing tool in the machine tool. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of smart manufacturing and unmanned chemical factories and the rivalry between the machine tool business group, it has gradually ceased to lead the sales of a single machine tool carrier, but invest in the development of end customers’ needs and use them as tools. The characteristics of the machine's own design and the integration of experts in various fields to enhance the end customers' production and processing efficiency, assist in creating the advantages of an industrial machine factory, and create a machine tool manufacturer and manufacturer to achieve higher system sales profits , To develop a blue ocean strategy of comp...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the use of machine tools at this stage, although there are detection equipment that can automatically detect the use of tools, it is still necessary to rely on manpower to enter the production line to replace damaged tools in the machine tool in terms of lamp tool replacement, so that from the discovery of tool wear to work During the time when personnel go to the site to change tools, the machine tools are completely inoperable, which reduces production efficiency. Using manual tool replacement also increases labor costs, which is often inconvenient
