The invention discloses a device for testing the reliability of a chain-type tool magazine and a manipulator. The device comprises a base, the chain-type tool magazine, a tool, a hydraulic driving mechanism, the manipulator, a main shaft, a fixed frame, a test bed, a first displacement sensor, a triaxial acceleration sensor, a uniaxial acceleration sensor, a photoelectric proximity switch, a second displacement sensor, a first supporting frame, a second supporting frame and a third supporting frame, wherein the base is fixed on the ground; the chain-type tool magazine is fixedly arranged on the base; the tool is arranged at a tool position of the chain-type tool magazine, and is rotated by the chain-type tool magazine to reach a tool change position; the hydraulic driving mechanism is fixedly connected with the chain-type tool magazine; and the manipulator is arranged on the output shaft of the hydraulic driving mechanism, and is driven by the hydraulic driving mechanism to rotate, transversely translate and longitudinally translate so as to realize actions of tool catching, tool extraction, tool change and tool assemble. The device can test the reliability of the chain-type tool magazine and the manipulator, and has the advantages of convenience in operation and high practicability.
