Workpiece exchange manipulation system Active tool checking, active workpiece checking, tool condition monitoring Side head and second rail head The workpiece exchange system consists of two up to four technological pallets, of the rotary manipulation table, of the rotary manipulator and of one up to three storage tables. A workpiece is set, centred and chucked on the technological pallet on the rotary manipulation table and from here it is moved together with the pallet by the rotary manipulator to the machining area. All is performed in the automatic mode. The pallet is hydraulically clamped on the clamping base in the machine area. The accuracy as well as the repeatability at the pallet clamping on the clamping base is provided by up to four hexagonal pins and by one precisely ground central spigot. This pallet system increases machining productivity, especially for workpieces with long time necessary for setting operations. The measuring probe for the active tool checking is located on the telescopic arm, which is operated hydraulically. The measuring probe is moved to the machine working area. The CNC control system is equipped with the macros necessary for evaluation and compensation of deviations. The workpiece measuring probe is mounted on the special holder. This holder is taken by the ram from the tool magazine to enable measuring operations. The signal transmission is done using inductive transmission, radio transmission or optical transmission. The tool condition monitoring is performed in dependence on cutting force evaluation. The measuring is provided by sensors mounted in the ram. The equipment evaluates collision situations, tool breakage and tool wear. The side head is available at the one–column type of the SKIQ machines. It is consists of the ram with the square turret and it can have up to eight turning tools. The second rail head can be offered at the vertical lathes in the type having two columns and the table sizes of 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000 and 7000 mm. It increases performance at turning operations and it can be completed by the full–value automatic tool exchange. / 38
