METHOD FOR THE CARRIAGE AND SUBSTANCE OF WEAKNESSES IN MECHANIZED MAGAZINE -WEAKNESS WORKING CENTRES, AND WORKING CENTRE INVOLVING THIS METHOD

摘要

In a machining center provided with a mechanized tool magazine (32) and with at least one movable tool-holding spindle (18, 20) capable of accessing the tool magazine (32), the tool is picked up from the tool-holding spindle (18, 20) and transferred to a tool replacement area (38) by means of a dedicated, automatic transfer device (34) that is independent of the tool magazine (32). After the replacement of the tool with a new tool in the transfer device (34), the new tool is returned to the tool-holding spindle (18, 20) by means of the transfer device (34).
