TOOL DEVICE FOR COMPUTER NUMERICAL-CONTROL MACHINING CENTER

摘要

An intelligent tool system used with computer numerical controlled machining centers consisting of an internal spindle machanism and a variety of spindle mounted devices.PPThe spindle mechanism provides CNC communicating and operating means with spindle mounted devices such as; telescoping tool holders for determining work surface locating with random length tools and for sensing tool condition; automatic boring tools for high precision boring and contouring; probing devices for work surface location, measurement and definintion; combination boring and probing tools for boring and measuring a hole without removing the tool from the spindle.
