Precautions for tool magazine of CNC machining center

As we all know, the structure of the tool magazine of machining center is very complex, especially the disc magazine. And in the normal work of the machining center, the tool magazine frequently transfers tools. Therefore, the machining center is prone to failure. According to statistics, 50% of the machine tool failures are related to the tool magazine. Therefore, when using the machining tool magazine, we must pay attention to some matters, and try to minimize the fault of the tool magazine of the machining center.

Precautions for tool magazine of machining center

1. It is forbidden to load the overweight and extra long tools into the tool magazine, which can prevent the tool from falling off or collision between the tool and workpiece and fixture during tool change.
2. When installing the tool into the tool magazine, we must pay attention to the correct installation according to the sequence of the tool magazine. After the installation, let the machining center idle to see whether the tool magazine replaced is consistent with the required tool, so as to prevent the adverse consequences caused by the wrong replacement
3. When the tool needs to be installed manually, make sure that it is installed in place and firmly. Check whether the locking device on the cutterhead is started and ensure these factors, otherwise unnecessary accidents will occur.
4. The operator of the machining center should check whether the tool magazine returns to the correct position at any time, simply return to zero, and then check whether the spindle of the machining center returns to the tool change position. If one of the two problems is found, it should be timely sorted out and fed back, otherwise the tool change can not be completed, affecting the work efficiency of the machining center.
5. The tool, handle and sleeve should be cleaned and maintained regularly. The tool, handle and sleeve must be kept clean.
6. When the machining center is started, if you want to make the machining center run at idle, check whether the tool magazine, manipulator and other moving parts are normal, especially if the travel switch and solenoid valve are working normally. The other is to check whether the hydraulic pressure value of the manipulator is within the normal range, whether the cutting tool is locked on the manipulator. If the above problems are found, they should be immediately fed back and dealt with in time.
