Abstract
A tool magazine (25) includes a revolving holder (33) which rotates about a rotation axis (A-A). The revolving holder (33) includes a set of first seats (47) for receiving tools (U) and a set of second seats (49) for receiving tools. The revolving holder (33) further includes an inner edge (43.2), facing an inner volume (46) defined by the revolving holder (33), and an outer edge (43.1). The outer edge and the inner edge extend around the rotation axis. The first seats (47) are arranged along the outer edge (43.1) and face the opposite direction to the inner volume (46). The second seats (49) are arranged along the inner edge (43.2) and face the inner volume (46).
Claims14
A tool magazine, comprising a revolving holder, supported to rotate about a rotation axis, wherein:
- the revolving holder comprises a ring and a base, spaced apart from one another along the rotation axis and rigidly connected to each other;
- an inner volume of the revolving holder is formed between the ring and the base;
- the ring comprises an outer edge and an inner edge extending around the rotation axis;
- a set of first tool-retention seats are arranged along the outer edge of the ring and are oriented opposite the inner volume;
- a set of second tool-retention seats are arranged along the inner edge and face towards the inner volume.
A numerically controlled machining center, comprising:
- a supporting structure;
- at least one operating head with at least one tool-holder spindle;
- at least one workpiece holder, wherein the workpiece holder and the operating head are movable relative to each other along a plurality of numerically controlled axes;
- and at least one tool magazine comprising a revolving holder, supported to rotate about a rotation axis, wherein:
- the revolving holder comprises a ring and a base, spaced apart from one another along the rotation axis and rigidly connected to each other;
- an inner volume of the revolving holder is formed between the ring and the base;
- the ring comprises an outer edge and an inner edge extending around the rotation axis;
- a set of first tool-retention seats are arranged along the outer edge of the ring and are oriented opposite the inner volume;
- and a set of second tool-retention seats are arranged along the inner edge and face towards the inner volume.
