How to replace the tools of a twin-spindle machining center after they have worn out? Double pinmachining centerThe replacement steps after tool wear can be summarized in the following points. These steps are designed to perform tool replacement efficiently and accurately while ensuring safety:
1. Preparation work
Shut down and remove power:
Before any maintenance or replacement work, operation of the machine tool must be stopped and the main power supply must be cut off to ensure the safety of the operator.
Confirm the tool information:
According to the processing needs, confirm the specific tool number or specifications of the tool that needs to be replaced, such as T8 or M10 taps.
2. Manual tool changing steps (applicable to non-automatic tool changing systems)
Open the tool holding system:
Use a special tool or a button on the machine control panel to open the tool holding system so that worn tools can be removed.
Remove old tools:
Carefully remove the worn tool from the spindle, taking care to avoid accidentally injuring the operator with the tool.
Install new tools:
Firmly install the new tool onto the spindle according to the tool installation standards and make sure the tool is firmly tightened.
Check the installation of the tool:
After installing a new tool, carefully check the tool installation to ensure that the tool is not loose or offset.
To resume operation of the machine:
After confirming that the tool is installed correctly, the machine tool can be restarted and the necessary calibration or test cutting operations can be performed.
3. Steps of automatic tool changing system (applicable to twin-spindle machining centers equipped with automatic tool changing devices)
Edit tool change instructions:
On the machine tool programming interface, enter a tool change command, such as “M6 T8;” to instruct the machine tool to perform a tool change operation.
Execute the tool change command:
Press the cycle start key and the machine tool will automatically execute the tool change command, including steps such as stopping the spindle, clearing the tool, entering a new tool , tool exchange and spindle tightening.
Monitor the tool change process:
During the tool changing process, the operator should closely monitor the working status of the machine tool to ensure that the tool changing process goes smoothly.
Check the tool change results:
After the tool change is completed, the operator should check the installation of the new tool and the working status of the machine tool to ensure everything is normal.
4. Precautions
Safety first:
When changing tools, safe machine tool operating procedures must be strictly followed to ensure operator safety.
Record accurately:
After replacing the tool, the tool replacement time, tool number and any abnormalities occurring during the replacement process should be recorded accurately.
Regular check:
Regular inspection and maintenance of machine tools and cutting tools are necessary to ensure the normal operation of machine tools and the good condition of cutting tools.
Professional training:
Operators should receive professional training and guidance and be familiar with machine tool operating procedures and tool replacement processes.
In summary, the replacement steps after tool wear of twin spindle machining center include preparation work, manual tool replacement steps (or non-automatic tool changing system steps), and the steps of the automatic tool change system. During the replacement process, safe operating procedures must be strictly followed and correct installation of the tool as well as normal operation of the machine tool must be ensured.
