ABSTRACT:
A simple and efficient tool exchanger device is presented. The device has a pair of swing arms (8, 9), and each swing arm is provided with a set of grippers (11, 12) for holding a tool bit. The positions of the swing arms (8, 9) are separated by 90 degree so that they will not interfere with each other during the swinging motion. One driving device (2) is provided to operate both swing arms (8, 9) and operate the gripper devices (11, 12). The swing arm (8) rotates upwards to remove a used tool bit (10) from the machining shaft (21) of a machining center and the other swing arm (9) is rotated downwards to install a new tool bit (10') in the vacated machining shaft in a single simultaneous step.
