ABSTRACT:
A machine tool, such as an internal grinding machine, includes a tool quill with a hollow tool having a deformable hub releasably held thereon and a compound slide for moving the tool quill relative to a tool removal arm and a replacement tool storage chute. The tool removal arm includes a tool enter station and tool strip station and is rotatable between the workpart axis and a tool discharge chute. For removal of a worn tool, the arm is rotated to position the tool enter station for insertion of a worn wheel thereon by slide movement toward the arm and then rotated to capture the worn wheel at the tool strip station. The slide is then retracted away from the arm to pull the quill out of the hollow tool, leaving the captured tool on the arm. The arm is rotated to carry the worn tool to the discharge chute for disposal while the slide positions the quill at the tool storage chute. Then, the slide is actuated to insert the quill into the deformable hub or sleeve of a replacement hollow tool in the chute and thereby releasably secure the hollow tool on the quill. The quill with the replacement tool thereon is withdrawn from the chute for machining of workparts.
