[0002] Manufacturing is the foundation of the national economy, and CNC machine tools are the core of basic manufacturing capabilities. If the key components of CNC machine tools fail, the processing efficiency of the machine tools will be directly reduced. Therefore, it is particularly important to monitor the status and evaluate the performance of key components. As the "teeth" of CNC machine tools, the health of the tool directly affects the processing efficiency and product quality of the machine tools. The wear data of the tool throughout its life cycle is the basis for tool failure prediction and health management.

The clamping force of the tool clamping jaws 21 is maintained by the clamping jaw spring 25, which improves the clamping stability and can clamp and fix tools of different sizes, further improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.
