This is the biggest feature of the tool magazine system.
[0003] After retrieval, the patent publication number CN215357419U discloses a patent named a tool changing device for a CNC machine tool tool magazine. The technical problem it needs to solve is that it requires manual tool changing by workers, with low tool changing efficiency, being very inconvenient and very unsafe. By using a magnet to adsorb the tool head in the second groove, after the rotating rod rotates counterclockwise, the tool head is clamped in the clamping component, making the installation more convenient; however, there are still the following drawbacks to be solved: the tool replaced by the tool changing plate is a used tool. After working inside the machine tool, its surface is contaminated with dust and debris. When it is re-placed on the tool magazine, the residual dust and debris on its surface may remain in the tool magazine, and the tool changing plate is also contaminated with dust and debris, which will contaminate the new tool when the tool changing plate replaces the new tool.
