Tool Changing Apparatus TRIZ Cases
- Blade Disc Tool Magazine Layout Without Manipulator Tool Change
A T1-T2-A axis tool magazine replaces complex manipulators, cutting tool-change cost, space use, and control complexity in blade disc machining.
- Tool Pot Transfer Indexing for Compact 90° Rotation and Clamping
A single-servo indexing mechanism coordinates tool pot rotation and gripper actuation to cut transfer space in machine tools.
- Multilayer Spacer Matrix for Dense TFT Arrays With Lower Capacitive Coupling
A self-aligned dielectric spacer matrix enables dense BEOL transistor arrays while lowering capacitive coupling and avoiding damage to existing devices.
- Electro-Hydraulic Joint Supply for Automatic EDM Tool Changing
A snap-fit electro-hydraulic joint and clamping layout keeps fluid and power aligned during EDM rotation, enabling automatic tool changing.
- Saddle-Mounted Tool Magazine for Faster Tool Changes
Mounting the magazine on the saddle shortens spindle travel, cuts tool change time, and reduces collision risk in large machining centers.
- Moving-Column Machining Center Tool Changer Layout for Faster Tool Swaps
A saddle-mounted magazine and independently movable tool changer cut spindle travel, reducing tool change time and collision risk.
- Spindle Cover Gap Layout to Prevent Chip Adhesion
A laterally positioned spindle-cover gap uses centrifugal force to move chips outward, preserving smooth shaft rotation and machining efficiency.
- Spindle Cover Spacing Using Centrifugal Chip Ejection
By spacing the cover from the main shaft, centrifugal force drives chips away from the gap and keeps spindle rotation smooth during cutting.
- Indexing Tool Conveying Mechanism for Compact 90° Tool Rotation
A dual-output indexing mechanism uses one servo motor to convey, clamp, and rotate tool pots 90° while reducing machine tool installation space.
- Dual-Spindle Multi-Axis Machining Center for Large Workpieces
Two independent carriages and mechanized tool magazines enable precise, productive machining of large workpieces in one setup.
- Gear Skiving with Replaceable Blades for Lower Machining Cost
Rough and finish skiving are split between simple replaceable blades and dedicated finish blades to cut gear machining cost while keeping tooth accuracy.
- Conveyance Chain Link Plates for Tool Pot Phase Alignment
Alternating rotation-stop and rotation-permit holes keep tool pots aligned during conveyance and tool change while link plates rotate independently.
