Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to mold processing, and in particular to a tool setting device for mold processing. Background Technology

[0002] A tool setter is a device used for adjusting cutting tools. During workpiece machining, auxiliary time such as workpiece loading / unloading and tool adjustment accounts for a significant proportion of the machining cycle. Tool adjustment is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to be accurate, requiring a trial cut at the end. Statistics show that pure machining time accounts for approximately 55% of the total machining time, while auxiliary time such as clamping and tool setting accounts for 45%. Therefore, the tool setter demonstrates significant advantages. The core components of a tool setter consist of a high-precision switch (probe), a high-hardness, high-wear-resistant cemented carbide tetrahedron (tool setting probe), and a signal transmission interface (other components omitted). The tetrahedron probe contacts the tool and transmits force to the high-precision switch via a flexible support rod. The on / off signals from the switch are transmitted to the CNC system through the signal transmission interface for tool orientation identification, calculation, compensation, and storage.

[0003] Traditional tool setting methods mainly rely on manual operation of the tool setting device for inspection. This method has many shortcomings. When manually operating the tool setting device, since the positions of the tool and the mold are fixed, the tool setting device needs to be constantly moved to adapt to the inspection of tools of different sizes and positions.

At the same time, the tool setter 5 can flexibly adapt to the detection requirements of tools of different sizes, reducing the time required to change detection tools or adjust detection methods due to different tool sizes. The tool setter 5 is a common tool detection device in mold processing, which is well known to those skilled in the art, and its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Furthermore, the transverse mechanism 3 includes a rack 31, which is fixedly connected to the top of the gantry 2. A slide rail 32 is provided parallel to one side of the gantry 2 and the bottom of the side wall. A slider 33 is provided on each slide rail 32. An L-shaped mounting plate 34 is fixedly installed on the two sets of sliders 33. A transverse motor 35 is installed on the L-shaped mounting plate 34.

[0027] In this embodiment, a transverse mechanism 3 is provided to drive the tool setter 6 to move laterally and perform alignment detection on the tool placed on the bottom fixed seat 6. The transverse mechanism 3 includes a rack 31, which drives a transverse motor 35 mounted on an L-shaped mounting plate 34 to rotate a bottom gear 36. Under the meshing action of the gear 36 and the rack 31, the L-shaped mounting plate 34 slides on a slide rail 32 via a slider 33. Two sets of slide rails 32 are provided at the top of the gantry 2 and on one side wall, which are in contact with the inner side walls of the L-shaped mounting plate 34 to ensure the stability of the L-shaped mounting plate 34 sliding on the gantry 2.
