AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing automated tool storage systems suffer from low efficiency in tool receiving, identification, retrieval, and exchange; unreasonable spatial layout and access paths; low efficiency in human-machine interaction and preprocessing; and insufficient visualization and status monitoring.

Method used

A six-axis robot moves via a sliding rail system, covering multiple shelves and reducing storage and retrieval time; the robot path is optimized by aligning adjacent shelves and arranging them in parallel; a transfer station is used as a temporary handover point to improve tool placement efficiency; and a combination of an area scan camera and a tool setter enables rapid tool information identification and storage.

Benefits of technology

By reducing manual intervention, increasing operation speed, shortening storage and retrieval time, improving tool placement efficiency, enhancing the visualization and status monitoring of the tool library, and improving management efficiency.

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic tool magazine, and is applied to the technical field of automatic tool magazines. The automatic tool magazine comprises a shell, an operation window is formed in a front plate of the shell, and the bottom end of a shell top plate of the shell is fixedly connected with the top end of the main magazine frame. The main garage frame comprises a first garage frame, a second garage frame, a third garage frame and a fourth garage frame; the first garage frame is provided with a plurality of first garage frame columns, and the first garage frame columns are fixedly connected with the first garage frame plate; the first garage frame and the second garage frame are adjacent and aligned, the third garage frame and the fourth garage frame are adjacent and aligned, and the length direction of the first garage frame is parallel to the length direction of the fourth garage frame; a sliding rail is arranged between the first garage frame and the fourth garage frame, the length direction of the sliding rail is parallel to the length direction of the first garage frame, the sliding rail is slidably connected with the bottom end of a sliding base, and the top end of the sliding base is fixedly connected with the bottom end of a six-axis robot. A clamp frame is arranged between the sliding rail and the fourth library frame; the inner end face of the shell front plate is fixedly connected with the transfer table. In this way, the tool storage efficiency can be improved.
