LOCKABLE TOOL CLAMP
A lockable tool clamp includes two jaw members and a pin together installed on a mount to clamp a tool holder securely. The jaw members each have a connecting portion and a jaw tip. The two connecting portions are overlapped and connected to the mount through a shaft. The pin when installed on the mount is parallel to the shaft, and passes through the two jaw members at a location different from where the shaft passes through the two jaw members. When the pin is in its unlocking position, the jaw members are allowed to pivot with respect to each other, so that the tool holder can be withdrawn or replaced by pushing the jaw tips apart. When the pin is in its locking position, the jaw members are restricted from pivoting with respect to each other. At this time, the tool holder is clamped between the jaw tips securely.
Conveyance chain, tool change system and multiple link plates
A conveyance chain comprises a plurality of link plates alternately coupled and conveying plural tool pots each holding a tool. The plurality of link plates include an inner link plate and an outer link plate each including a rotation stop hole that stops a rotation of the tool pot and a rotation permit hole located upstream from the rotation stop hole with respect to a conveyance direction that permits a rotation of the tool pot. The plurality of tool pots includes a first tool pot and a second tool pot, the first tool pot is inserted through a rotation stop hole of the inner link plate and a rotation permit hole of the outer link plate, and adjacent to the first tool pot, the second tool pot is inserted through a rotation permit hole of the inner link plate and a rotation stop hole of the outer link plate.

Device for attaching and detaching tool in magazine
The present disclosure relates to a device for attaching and detaching tools in a magazine, and more particularly, to a device for attaching and detaching tools in a magazine of a machine tool, the device being capable of attaching or detaching a tool having directionality to or from each gripper of the magazine of the machine tool while accurately adjusting a fixed position of the tool.
Tool holder locking device
A tool holder locking device has a base, a horizontal support mounted on the base to hold a first tool holder, and a vertical support mounted on the base to vertically hold a second tool holder. The horizontal support has a supporting block having a holding cavity and an engaging rib radially protruding from the holding cavity to engage with a gripper groove of the first tool holder, a first positioning member fixed on the supporting block to engage with a positioning notch of the first tool holder, and a second member fixed on the supporting block to engage with an orientation notch of the first tool holder. The vertical support has a supporting sleeve and a positioning block mounted on a bottom of the supporting sleeve and extending along a radial direction of the supporting sleeve to engage with two driving grooves of the second tool holder.
TOOL HOLDER HOLDING AND LOOSENING DEVICE OF CHAIN-TYPE TOOL MAGAZINE OF MACHINE TOOL
A tool holder holding and loosening device of chain-type tool magazine of a machine tool is disclosed. A locking mechanism is disposed on a rear end of each of sockets in a tool magazine. The locking mechanism is adapted to abut against an end of a tool holder mounted in the socket, thereby to prevent the tool holder from accidentally loosing. A tool loosening device is disposed on a predetermined position of the chain-type tool magazine. The tool loosening device is adapted to unlock the locking mechanism of the tool magazine passing through the predetermined position, so that the tool holder could be easily taken out of the socket.
MILLING AND DEEP DRILLING MACHINE
A milling and deep drilling machine operated by a control unit is provided, which commands the action of a robotic arm in a coordinated and automatic manner, being responsible for milling and deep drilling actions, and at least one technical tool storage cabinet. The robotic arm having a mobile structure, with a base structure along which a driving unit is moved, over sliding rails. The configuration of the milling mode in the machine is achieved by coupling a milling tool to the drive unit. For the configuration of the deep drilling mode, the base structure of the robotic arm has coupling device that allow the assembly of a cassette in which the deep hole drilling tool is installed
AUTOMATIC ATTACHMENT CHANGER AND BORING MACHINE HAVING SAME
Disclosed are an automatic attachment changer and a boring machine having the same. The automatic attachment changer includes a stacker in which a plurality of attachments is stacked in a height direction by a unit of housing cell having a length larger than the attachments such that the attachment is individually arranged in each housing cell horizontally with respect to a bottom of the stacker, a stacker carrier having a carrier body secured to the stacker, a body transfer transferring the carrier body and a carrier power driving the body transfer, and an attachment changer controlling the stacker and the stacker carrier such that a select attachment is selected among the attachments and the select attachment is combined to a spindle assembly. The attachment is changed in the boring machine with high reliability and correctness.
Tool Bit Changing System
A tool changing system that includes a tool mount adapter and a tool holder. The tool mount adapter is configured to be attached to a tool and selectively engage and disengage a tool bit. The tool provides movement to the engaged tool bit to perform work on a workpiece. The tool holder is positioned in proximity to hold the tool bit when the tool bit is not engaged by the tool. The tool holder can also selectively engage and disengage the tool bit.
TOOL CHANGE UNIT AND TOOL CHANGE DEVICE INCLUDING SAME
A tool change unit includes a base and two tool arms rotatably mounted on the base and respectively located on two sides of the base. Each arm body includes a position-returning element, a gripping element, and an actuation element. The position-returning element enables the tool arm to rotate for upward and downward moving between a first position and a second position. The gripping element functions to grip a main-axle tool or a magazine tool. The tool change unit is combinable with a power unit to form a tool change device. The power unit drives the tool change unit to do rotation or rotation and upward and downward movement.
