    摘要: Tools are classified into small type tools that can pass through the space between a pair of grippers in its open position and large type tools that cannot pass through the space between the pair of grippers in the open position, when the headstock supporting a spindle holding a tool is moved to a position corresponding to a tool change position. When the next tool to be used is of the small type, the tool is moved through a standby position to the tool change position during a machining operation using the tool on the spindle, the headstock is moved to the position corresponding to the tool change position in response to a tool changing instruction and a predetermined tool changing operation is carried out. When the next tool is of the large type, the next tool is positioned and held at the standby position during a machining operation, the headstock is moved to the position corresponding to the tool change position, the next tool is moved to the tool change position and the tool changing operation is carried out.

    摘要: A tool magazine disclosed is fundamentally the same in construction as a corresponding prior art tool magazine but is capable of handling tools of diameters greater than those of tools which can be handled by the prior art tool magazine. The tool magazine comprise a magazine body provided with an endless guide groove, and a plurality of tool pots each for holding a tool, fixedly provided with guide members engaging the endless guide groove for sliding movement along the guide groove. Idlers are disposed between and in contact with adjacent tool pots, respectively, and supported in the endless guide groove so as to move along the endless guide groove. A feed mechanism moves the tool pots and the idlers along the endless guide groove with the idlers in contact with the guide members of the adjacent tool pots, respectively. The idlers are substantially the same in shape and dimensions as the guide members. The surface of each guide member is coated with an abrasion-resistant film having a small coefficient of dynamic friction.

    摘要: A toolholder device for a machine tool comprises a holder body driven by a machine tool drive spindle, and a toolholder supported on the holder body so as to be circumferentially and axially displaceable. The holder body and the toolholder are provided with displacement detection elements which are arranged circumferentially in interdigitating relation. A support shaft extends from either member of the holder body and the toolholder toward the other member. The outer surface of the support shaft and the inner surface of a support hole of the other member to be fitted over the support shaft are formed with helical guide grooves which are opposite to each other and slopingly extends with respect to the rotational axis of the toolholder device. Balls are interposed between the opposite guide grooves to form a displacement translation mechanism which converts a rearward axial displacement of a tool and the toolholder due to overload axial thrust into a circumferential relative displacement between the adjacent detection elements. The relative displacement of the detection elements is detected by a detection unit which issues a warning signal. A compression spring in the device resists the axial displacement of the toolholder unless the axial thrust exceeds a predetermined value.
