The first spindle station 3 includes a first motor fixed to the lower frame 1 and a first mounting shaft 32 and a first tool holder cylinder 33 arranged coaxially. The first mounting shaft 32 and the first tool holder cylinder 33 cooperate to fix the BT40 tool or tool holder to be repaired. The second spindle station 4 includes a second motor fixed to the lower frame 1 and a second mounting shaft 42 and a second tool holder cylinder 43 arranged coaxially.

The first motor and the second motor drive the first mounting shaft 32 and the second mounting shaft 42 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 5. The transmission mechanism 5 includes a drive wheel 51, a driven wheel 52 and a transmission belt 53. The drive wheel 51 is fixed to the output end of the first motor or the second motor, the driven wheel 52 is fixed to the first mounting shaft 32 or the second mounting shaft 42, and the transmission belt 53 meshes with the drive wheel 51 and the driven wheel 52 at the corresponding positions.

[0024] After cleaning, the tool or tool holder is clamped on the first mounting spindle, and the tool holder and tool are locked together using a special wrench. The centering bar is clamped on the power head 24, and the three-axis servo module 2 is controlled by the handwheel pulse generator 25 to move the power head 24 on the X, Y, and Z axes until the center point of the tool or tool holder is found. The centering bar is replaced with a grinding head, and the rework area is colored with a marker. After setting the grinding parameters through the touch screen 6, the first motor and drive motor are started to rotate the tool or tool holder and grinding head. The grinding bar is controlled by the handwheel pulse generator 25 to slowly move downwards along the Z axis towards the center hole area of the tool or tool holder to grind and repair the center hole. During the grinding process, the machine is stopped at any time for inspection until the processing requirements are met. Then, the first motor and drive motor are turned off, the tool or tool holder is removed from the first mounting spindle, and the tool is manually checked again to see if it meets the requirements.
