Tool change system, for a multiple-spindle machine tool, has a rotating tool store with cassettes held in place by release mountings, each containing a number of tool holders

摘要

The tool change system, for a machine tool, has a rotating tool store with a number of tool holders (11) to hold the tools. At least two tool holders are assembled in a common cassette (9), fitted to the rotating tool store in a release mounting. The machine tool has a number of spindles, and the number of tool holders at the cassette is a whole-number multiple of the number of tool spindles. The tool holders in the cassette are arranged at equal intervals along a straight line.
