The detacher includes a detachment body and a rotary part coupled to the detachment body, the rotary part includes a key protruding outward from the rotary part in a first horizontal direction, and the rotary part is configured to rotate about a central axis extending in the first horizontal direction.

A feeding device includes a sliding member, a main shaft, a tool holding assembly, a locking assembly, and a locking assembly. The sliding member is slidably couplable to a moving member. The main shaft is rotatably coupled with the sliding member. The tool holding assembly includes a connecting member detachably connectable to the main shaft and configured for holding one of a plurality of tool heads, the connecting member defining two clamping grooves. The locking assembly is positioned on the sliding member having a driving member attached to the sliding member, and a pair of claws attached to the driving member. The disclosure also supplies a machine tool using the feeding device, and a method for machining using the machine tool.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a polishing head management system and method. The polishing head management system includes: a storage device, a pick-and-place device and a data acquisition device, where the storage device is used to store polishing heads; the pick-and-place device is used to pick a polishing head or place a polishing head into the storage device; the data acquisition device is connected with the storage device and the pick-and-place device, and is used to record at least one management cycle of the polishing head.

The invention relates to a machine tool (10) comprising a machine controller (19), a machine frame (11), a work table (13), a tool holder (14), preferably of a standardized design, multiple translational and/or rotational axes (12a, 12b) for adjusting the relative position of the work table (13) and the work holder (14), a tool magazine (16) for one or more material-removing, in particular machining tools (15), a tool-change mechanism for automatically transporting tools between the tool holder (14) and the tool magazine (16), a deposit-welding head (20) that can be inserted into the tool holder (14) and a storage device (25) for storing the deposit-welding head outside the tool holder (14).

An embodiment of a circular, annular tool magazine shelf of a tower construction, comprises a base frame adapted for receiving a tool shelf which has a plurality of immovable tool deposit plates, arranged in vertical succession and in a circular ring, adapted for machining one or more tools, and a power-driven tool handling system adapted for transporting tools between the tool magazine shelf and a machine-side pick-up tool magazine store. The magazine shelf also comprises a spindle tower which is mounted rotatably about a vertical rotation shaft being arranged in a circle center-point of one or more tool deposit plates, wherein the base frame includes a monolithically constructed, plate-shaped foundation in which the rotation shaft is mounted overhanging freely by way of a mounting arrangement.

Provided is a tool magazine apparatus capable of preventing a phase error in attaching a tool to a tool holding gripper. A tool magazine apparatus includes: a magazine body having both front and rear racks each provided with tool holding grippers; a tool transfer device to take out a tool from the both racks and attach a tool to the both racks; a tool standby pot to hold a tool; and an intra-magazine tool change device to deliver a tool between the tool standby pot and the tool transfer device. The tool transfer device includes: a moving body disposed between the both racks; a base disposed on the moving body and being rotatable around an axis extending in the Z-axis direction; a transfer gripper attached to the base and being movable in a plane orthogonal to the Z-axis direction; and an air cylinder causing the transfer gripper to move.

A die placement system provides a tip body and die placement head to ensure planarity of a die to substrate without the need for calibration prior to each pick and place operation. A self-aligning tip incorporated into a tip body aids in die placement/attachment. This tip provides for global correction of planarity errors that exist between a die and substrate, regardless of whether those errors stem from gantry (i.e. die-side misalignment) or machine deck tool (i.e. substrate-side misalignment) misalignment.

In order to be suitable for space-saving of a multi-functional processing machine in which a tool main spindle device is disposed at a center of an opposed biaxial lathe, there is provided an automatic tool exchanger provided in the multi-functional processing machine, the automatic tool exchanger including: a tool magazine that is disposed in a machine body front surface upper portion of the multi-functional processing machine and is configured to house multiple tools for exchange with respect to the tool main spindle device; a shift device configured to move the tool between the tool magazine and a tool exchanging position with respect to the tool main spindle device; and a tool changer configured to exchange the tool between the shift device and the tool main spindle device.
