Abstract
In a method for stocking tool magazines of a device for machining workpieces, the device having at least a first spindle and a second spindle configured to be independently movable relative to one another at least in one axis, wherein the first and second spindles have correlated therewith at least a first tool magazine and a second tool magazine, respectively, workpiece machining is continued by the second spindle during stocking of the first tool magazine, and workpiece machining is continued by the first spindle during stocking of the second tool magazine. Alternatively, stocking the first and second tool magazines can be carried out simultaneously.
Claims16
A method for stocking tool magazines of a device for machining workpieces, the device comprising at least a first spindle (12) and a second spindle (13) configured to be independently movable relative to one another at least in one axis, wherein the first and second spindles (12, 13) have correlated therewith at least a first tool magazine (2) and a second tool magazine (3), respectively, comprising the steps of:
- continuing workpiece machining by the second spindle (13) during stocking of the first tool magazine (2);
- and
- continuing workpiece machining by the first spindle (12) during stocking of the second tool magazine (3).
The method according to claim 3, comprising the step of moving the first and second tool magazines (2, 3) into a stocking position (14, 15) for stocking.
