Supplemental exchange device for tool to tool magazine of automatic tool exchanger

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve workability of a tool equipment, by supplementing and exchanging a tool, stored facing upward in a backup magazine, in a tool magazine by means of grips telescopically movably and turnably constituted through actuators. CONSTITUTION:Grips 5 are longitudinally moved by their extending and contracting actuators (I). For instance in the drawing, the grip is longitudinally moved between a backup magazine 2 and a tool holder cleaning pot 8 of this device and between a tool pot 10 of a tool magazine 3 and a position A held back from the pot 10. Next, an in-out acting arm 6, provided at a right angle with a telescopically acting direction of the grip 5, in-out moves the grip 5 in the direction of this side in the drawing by the in-out actuator (II) of the arm 6, while a shaft of the in-out acting arm 6 performs a movement turning about 90 deg. from a full-line position to a two-dot chain line position by the turning actuator (II). The device is equipped with a mechanism which performs turning of about 90 deg. with an arm unit turning exis 9 serving as the axis finally by the turning actuator (IV) of the whole these arm units 7.
