摘要:
A manually operated apparatus for removal and insertion of a tool holder to and from a tool pocket of a magazine includes two components--a multi-function insertion/removal tool, and a pivot bracket. The multi-function tool generally comprises an elongated bar having a tool holder removal element at one end and an insertion element at the opposite end. The removal element can constitute a known pry tool having a fork portion configured to facilitate insertion between the rim of the tool pocket and the underside of the circumferential flange of the tool holder. The insertion element of the multi-function insertion/removal tool comprises a pivot block and a pressure plate. The pivot block includes a pivot pin projecting therefrom that is configured for pivoting engagement within a channel defined in the pivot bracket. The pivot bracket is mounted to the housing of the tool magazine at a manually accessible location relative to the tool pockets with the open end of the channel facing away from the tool pocket. When the pivot pin of the insertion/removal tool is disposed within the channel of the pivot bracket, the pressure plate is situated over a portion of the circumferential flange of the tool holder when the holder is loosely disposed within the tool pocket. The elongated bar of the tool can be used as a lever arm to pivot the tool about the fulcrum point defined by the pivot pin and pivot bracket. As the elongated bar is manipulated, the pressure plate is pivoted downward, bearing against the circumferential flange of the tool holder with sufficient force to overcome the pocket spring force operating against the knob of the tool holder.

A method of replacing a cutting tool in a tool magazine in a machine center includes providing a mounting frame having a pair of guide rails and a tool changing jig, pushing the tool changing jig toward the tool magazine until the tool changing jig contacts a rear positive stop, pivoting the clamp arms to an open position, cranking the lifting assembly upward until a V-shaped block assembly contacts the cutting tool, pivoting the clamp arms to a closed position, dislodging the cutting tool from the tool magazine, pulling the tool changing jig away from the tool magazine until the tool changing jig contacts a front positive stop on the mounting frame, replacing the cutting tool in the tool changing jig, and pushing the tool changing jig toward the tool magazine until the cutting tool is inserted and locked into the tool magazine.

A device for loading and unloading a tool into/from the tool magazine of a machine-tool or the like comprises a door, which separates the area of the tool magazine from an external protected area, and a tool-bearing slide, which can be displaced between a backed-off position outside the door and an advanced position inside the door and close to the tool magazine. The slide is connected to the door by a mechanical transmission in such a way that a movement of advance of the slide causes a simultaneous movement of opening of the door, and a movement of backing off of the slide causes a simultaneous movement of closing of the door.
