Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tool setting, in particular to a tool setting device for a horizontal machining center. Background Art

[0002] The machining center is developed from the CNC milling machine. The biggest difference from the CNC milling machine is that the machining center has the ability to automatically exchange machining tools. By installing tools for different purposes on the tool magazine, the machining tools on the spindle can be changed through the automatic tool changer in one clamping to achieve multiple machining functions. The machining center is a high-efficiency automated machine tool composed of mechanical equipment and CNC systems suitable for machining complex parts. It has a strong comprehensive machining capability. After the workpiece is clamped once, it can complete more machining content and has high machining accuracy. For batch workpieces with medium machining difficulty, the purpose of tool setting is to determine the position of the program origin in the machine tool coordinate system. The tool setting point can be set on the part, on the fixture or on the machine tool. When setting the tool, the tool setting point should coincide with the tool position point. In the field of mechanical manufacturing, tool setting refers to ensuring the correct position of each tool before CNC programming and machining, that is, determining the exact position of the tool relative to the machine tool coordinate system. This process includes adjusting the tool position point of the tool to a point close to the ideal reference point to reduce errors in the machining process. Tool setting can also be understood as a measurement method used to determine the exact position of the program origin in the machine tool coordinate system. In this process, parts, fixtures or the machine tool itself can be used as tool points. The key is to ensure that these points completely coincide with the final tool position points.

[0003] Before production and processing, it is necessary to perform tool alignment on the tool processing starting position. However, tool alignment during production and processing is mostly done manually. When performing tool alignment operations at special angles or positions, it is difficult for workers to have reference objects for tool alignment operations, making tool alignment operations more troublesome. Utility Model Content
