Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of processing equipment and relates to a tool changing mechanism, in particular to a tool changing mechanism for a grinding wheel magazine. Background Art
[0002] Grinding is a cutting method that uses the high-speed rotation of the grinding wheel as the main motion, and the low-speed rotation and linear movement of the workpiece (or the movement of the grinding head) as the feed motion to cut off the excess metal layer on the workpiece. It has the advantages of high precision, high surface quality, wide applicability, etc.
[0003] The grinding wheel is composed of abrasive, binder and pores, among which the abrasive is responsible for cutting. As the grinding process proceeds, the abrasive will gradually wear and become blunt, which will lead to a decrease in cutting ability, processing efficiency and surface quality. Therefore, the improvement of Wenling processing accuracy requires the use of different grinding wheels for different processing procedures. Summary of the invention
