A second section of first route is located between first section of first route and second conveyance unit in a direction in which first conveyance unit and second conveyance unit are arranged. A fourth section of second route is located between third section of second route and first conveyance unit in the direction in which first conveyance unit and second conveyance unit are arranged.

A machine tool having a separately replaceable tool post is provided. The machine tool includes supports that are facing each other with an axis line of a main axis in an axial direction therebetween; a rotation tool post detachably connected on one of the supports and rotatable with respect to a first direction perpendicular to the axis line; a fastening member detachably connecting the rotation tool post on the one of the supports, wherein the rotation tool post includes: a rotation unit configured to rotate in the first direction on the one of the supports; an upper fastening unit at an upper portion of the rotation unit, and detachably fastened to the one of the supports; and a lower fastening unit at a lower portion of the rotation unit, and detachably fastened to the one of the supports so that the rotation unit is rotatable.

The present invention provides a blisk machining center, including: A-axis rotary assembly, B-axis rotary assembly and C-axis rotary assembly, wherein the A-axis rotary assembly drives the blisk to rotate, the B-axis rotary assembly drives an attachment head to rotate, and the attachment head drives a tool to machine the blisk, and the C-axis rotary assembly drives the A-axis rotary assembly to rotate, wherein the intersection of the rotation axis of the B-axis rotary assembly and the rotation axis of the C-axis rotary assembly is the center of the machining area of the blisk, and the tip point of the tool is on the rotation axis of the B-axis rotary assembly. In the present invention, the machining area is near the rotation center of the C-axis turntable, which ensures that the speed and acceleration of the movement of each physical axis are kept within a lower range than those of general machine tools when the machine tool is performing the machining of the 5-axis rotary tool center point.

The present invention discloses a bevel swing head interpolation tool changing mechanism, which includes a bed, a sliding table, a column, a ram, a swing head and a tool magazine, in which the swing head moves along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis of the machine tool, the axis of the swing head and a B-axis form an included angle between 30°-60°, the tool magazine is equipped with a tool, and the swing head moves along its own axis direction and change the tool. The invention provides a bevel swing head interpolation tool changing mechanism and a method thereof, capable of quick and convenient tool changing through the mutual cooperation of the movement of the linear axes of the machine tool, without complex equipment such as manipulators used, and which is simple in structure, good in stability and easy to maintain.

The invention relates to a loading or unloading device (500) for use with a machine tool (100), comprising: a transport vehicle (510) that can move freely in an area; a handover unit (540) arranged on the transport vehicle (510) and having a receiving section (530) which in turn has a plurality of retaining sections arranged in a row for receiving tools (WZ) or tool interfaces (WZS) holding tools and/or workpieces; and one or more docking sections arranged on the transport vehicle (510) for docking and/or workpieces on the machine tool, in particular of a supply unit (400) of a tool and/or workpiece magazine (200) of the machine tool.

Provided are a tool changer and a machine tool having a plurality of tool storage magazines and capable of suppressing the generation of vibration. The tool changer performs tool change between first and second tool storage magazines. The center of gravity of the second magazine is disposed below the tool change positions of the first and second magazines. Preferably, the second magazine is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane.

A machine tool is provided with two vertically oriented tool spindles that are arranged to hold tools and that are movable vertically in a first direction and horizontally in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Furthermore, the machine tool is provided with two workpiece support devices for clamping workpieces in place. At least one of the two workpiece support devices is movable horizontally in a third direction orthogonal to the first and the second direction. The two tool spindles and the two workpiece support devices are mounted on a common machine frame with a common working space, wherein the two tool spindles are movable parallel to one another in the second direction. The two tool spindles are facing one another.

Disclosed is a gripping system for receiving a processing tool, and to a storage system. These processing tools are used in processing machines or centres in the woodworking industry. Also disclosed is a processing machine with the above-mentioned storage system. This processing machine is used for processing elongate pieces of wood.

A method and a machine for automatically changing a disc tool to a tool holder of an automated machine working with the disc tools is disclosed. The method includes in the disc tool replacement machine: determining that the tool holder is in a replacement area in the disc tool replacement machine; unfastening a fixing member of the tool holder by applying an unfastening force to the fixing member, wherein the fixing member fixes a disc tool to a backing plate of the tool holder through a through hole at a centre of the disc tool; removing the disc tool from the tool holder after said unfastening; inserting a new disc tool to the tool holder; and fastening the fixing member of the tool holder by applying a fastening force to the fixing member, thus fixing the disc tool to the backing plate of the tool holder through the through hole.
