Claims11
A part machining apparatus for machining parts for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a base frame;
- a machining head that is mounted on one side of the base frame and on top of the base frame so as to machine the vehicle parts while the machining head is rotating with a tool mounted thereon;
- a tool replacement unit that is installed over the machining head, that is equipped with a plurality of tools for machining different materials of the vehicle parts, and that supplies a selected one of the tools to the machining head for machining the vehicle parts;
- and
- a jig unit that is mounted on an opposite side of the base frame with respect to the machining head and on top of the base frame, and that includes a rotating plate for supporting two placement pallets for receiving the vehicle parts, the rotating plate configured to selectively rotate so as to place one of the placement pallets in a position for enabling the vehicle parts received thereby to be machined by the machining head, while also placing the other of the placement pallets in a position out of a machining range of the machining head,
- wherein an air supply device is provided under the rotating plate and is configured to spray air to the vehicle parts mounted on one of the placement pallets while the one placement pallet and the vehicle parts received thereby are located on top of the rotating plate, so as to remove chips produced during the machining.
