Abstract
The invention relates to a method of fitting a machine tool with tools which are cooled by a free-flowing medium during operation of the machine tool, comprising the following method steps: a plurality of various tools are provided in order to carry out successive machining operations on a workpiece; a plurality of various nozzle devices are provided, each of which can be fitted together with a specific tool and connected to a medium source and has such a medium jet geometry that the respective medium jets strike locations where the machining takes place; a specific nozzle device is in each case fitted together with a specific tool and connected to the medium source before the operation of the machine tool is started.
Claims4
A facility for the equipment of a machine tool with tools, which during the operation of the machine tool are cooled by a flowing medium,
- with a plurality of different tools, with which machining processes that follow one another are undertaken on a workpiece;
- with a plurality of different nozzle devices, each of which can be assembled with a respective one of the tools and can be connected to a medium source;
- each nozzle device has nozzle holes, which are designed and arranged such that the medium jet impinges at the point at which machining of the workpiece is taking place;
- wherein:
- the tools are stored in a tool magazine;
- the nozzle devices are stored in a nozzle device magazine;
- a first conveyor device is provided that assembles a particular tool with a particular one of the nozzle devices;
- a second conveyor device is provided that in each case introduces a particular assembled pairing of a tool and a nozzle device into the machine tool in accordance with a program.
