Tool holder attaching/detaching structure of machine tool
In a case where a tool holder 5 having a plurality of cutting tools T are attachably/detachably mounted on a base member 8 , the tool holder 5 is formed in a ring shape and has depressions 5 a and projections 5 b on an inner periphery, and by aligning the depressions and projections 5 a, 5 b of the tool holder 5 with projections 9 b and depressions 9 a formed on an outer periphery of a rotating member 9 rotatably mounted on the base member 8 , the tool holder 5 is mountable to or removal from the base member 8 . The tool holder 5 is clamped to the base member 8 by being pressed against a seating surface 8 e of the base member 8.
1. A tool holder attaching/detaching structure of a machine tool, comprising:
a base member having a seating surface;
a rotating member having depressions and projections on an outer periphery and rotatably mounted on the base member; and
a tool holder in a ring shape having depressions and projections on an inner periphery and having a plurality of cutting tools on an outer periphery,
wherein, by aligning the depressions and the projections of the tool holder with the projections and the depressions of the rotating member, the tool holder is mountable to or removable from the base member; and
a ring-shaped clamping member mounted on the base member, wherein the tool holder is clamped to the base member by the clamping member pressing the tool holder against the seating surface,
wherein the tool holder is clamped to the base member by being pressed against the seating surface of the base member,
wherein the tool holder is clamped to the base member by the clamping member pressing the tool holder against the seating surface in a state where the rotating member is rotated so that the projections of the rotating member and the projections of the tool holder at least partly overlap with each other, and
wherein the clamping member is rotatably mounted on the base member and has depressions and projections on an outer periphery, and wherein the depressions of the rotating member and the clamping member are tapered grooves which continuously become wider toward portions more apart from the seating surface.
2. A tool holder attaching/detaching structure of a machine tool, comprising:
a base member having a seating surface:
a rotating member having depressions and projections on an outer periphery and rotatably mounted on the base member; and
a tool holder in a ring shape having depressions and projections on an inner periphery and having a plurality of cutting tools on an outer periphery,
wherein, by aligning the depressions and the projections of the tool holder with the projections and the depressions of the rotating member, the tool holder is mountable to or removable from the base member;
a ring-shaped clamping member mounted on the base member, wherein the tool holder is clamped to the base member by the clamping member pressing the tool holder against the seating surface; and
a projection detection sensor which detects that the projections of the rotating member and the projections of the tool holder come to have a predetermined positional relation,
wherein the clamping by the clamping member is executed based on a projection detection signal of the projection detection sensor,
wherein the tool holder is clamped to the base member by being pressed against the seating surface of the base member, and
wherein the tool holder is clamped to the base member by the clamping member pressing the tool holder against the seating surface in a state where the rotating member is rotated so that the projections of the rotating member and the projections of the tool holder at least partly overlap with each other.
3. The tool holder attaching/detaching structure of the machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising
a seating detection mechanism which detects that the tool holder is normally seated on the seating surface when a pressure of air pressure-fed between the tool holder and the seating surface is equal to or more than a predetermined value,
wherein the clamping by the clamping member is executed based on a seating detection signal of the seating detection mechanism.
4. The tool holder attaching/detaching structure of the machine tool according to claim 2 , further comprising
a seating detection mechanism which detects that the tool holder is, normally seated on the seating surface when a pressure of air pressure-fed between the tool holder and the seating surface is equal to or more than a predetermined value,
wherein the clamping by the clamping member is executed based on a seating detection signal of the seating detection mechanism.
5. The tool holder attaching/detaching structure of the machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising
a projection detection sensor which detects that the projections of the rotating member and the projections of the tool holder come to have a predetermined positional relation,
wherein the clamping by the clamping member is executed based on a projection detection signal of the projection detection sensor.
6. The tool holder attaching/detaching structure of the machine tool according to claim 3 , further comprising
a projection detection sensor which detects that the projections of the rotating member and the projections of the tool holder come to have a predetermined positional relation,
wherein the clamping by the clamping member is executed based on a projection detection signal of the projection detection sensor.
