Filed: 1968-09-13
Abstract: 1,195,638. Tool changers. PRATT & WHITNEY Inc. 13 Sept., 1968 [19 Sept., 1967], No. 43719/68. Headings B3B and B3C. A tool magazine 17 is swung in a vertical plane from a storage position to a position beneath a tool spindle 13 of a drilling machine by means of two arms 22, 24 and a driven pinion gear 26 meshing with a gear 25 fixed to the arm 24. The magazine is locked in its storage position by a pneumatically operated lock 29. The magazine comprises an indexable plate 35 having tool holding recesses in its periphery and being rotated by a motor 45 via pulleys and a belt. The tools are held in holders 71 having a pair of spaced rings 73, 74 that engage in the recesses of the plate 35. A detent spring (81), (Fig. 4, not shown) locks the tool holders into the recesses. The detent spring is moved to unlock the tool holders by the end of a quill 12 during a tool change operation. The tool holders include driving dogs that engage in slots in the end of the spindle. Should they not engage properly the plate 35 is forced downwards by the spindle 13 against a spring to operate a switch that raises the spindle for a further attempt at engagement. Chucks.-The end of the quill 12 has attached thereto a housing (93) (Fig. 6, not shown) in which is mounted a pneumatically operated clamp ring (96) and friction band (97). When a tool holder is inserted into a tapered bore in the spindle 13, the driving dogs engage with slots (110) in the spindle, which has been previously aligned to a tool receiving rotational position. The tool holder is clamped by rotation of the spindle through 90 degrees until pegs (113) abut stops (114). During this rotation the clamp ring (96) and friction band (97) are forced by fluid pressure against a nut member (94) screwed on to the end of the spindle to cause relative rotation therebetween, which relative rotation causes the nut member to force the tool holder into the spindle. Indexing.-The plate 35 is indexed by the motor 45 and a belt and pulley drive. A disc (51) having peripheral holes corresponding to the tool recesses in the plate 35 is also rotated by the belt and pulley drive and operates limit switches at pre-selected positions. A pneumatically operated plunger 58 then locks the position of the disc (51) and plate 35. The machine tool is tape controlled to automatic programme sequences and is controlled electro-hydraulically. The drilling machine comprises a vertically movable spindle head 11 and includes separate drive motors 14, 15, 16 for the spindle 13, the spindle head 11, and the quill 12, respectively.
