How to choose a suitable tool magazine form for drilling and tapping center?

Drilling and tapping center is a kind of machine tool for cutting metal, also known as "drilling and milling tapping center".

So how should we find a suitable tool magazine form when using it?

At present, the drilling and tapping centers sold in the market have various types of tool magazines, including clamp arm tool magazines, flying saucer tool magazines and synchronous tool magazines.

The jig-arm tool magazine is the most traditional form of tool magazine, which is relatively cheap, but the capacity of the jig-arm tool magazine is only 14 at most, which can only meet general processing needs.

At present, the flying saucer tool magazine is more commonly used, which is slightly more expensive than the clamp arm tool magazine, but the maximum capacity of the flying saucer tool magazine can hold 21 pieces, and the rest of the performance is similar to that of the clamp arm tool magazine.

The tool specifications used in the jig arm tool magazine and the flying saucer tool magazine are BT30, and the maximum tool weight that can be clamped is 3Kg. The BT40 specification cannot be used, and the scope of application is limited due to the inability to use larger-sized tools. Due to the smaller size of the spindle, higher speed can be achieved. Generally, the most conventional speed in the market is 12000rpm, and other commonly used specifications are 15000rpm and 24000rpm. The tool change time of these two types of tool magazines is usually only 1.2 seconds for adjacent tools.

It usually takes 6 to 7 seconds for the flying saucer tool magazine on the market to change the opposite knife (for example, No. 1 knife is changed to No. 8 knife), but HONY's technology shortens the tool change speed to 0.6 seconds, which greatly reduces the tool magazine. The reset time shortens the processing time for customers and improves the utilization rate of machine tools to create superior customer value.

The synchronous tool magazine can not only install the BT30 specification tool magazine, but also can install the BT40 specification tool magazine, which greatly broadens the scope of use; and the tool change time of the synchronous tool magazine is shorter than that of the clamp arm tool magazine and flying saucer tool magazine. Fast, the tool change time of BT30 specification tool is only 6.5 seconds, and the tool change time of BT40 specification tool is only 0.85 seconds; when selecting BT40 tool, the maximum tool weight can reach 7Kg, which can basically meet the needs of most customers. However, the price of the synchronous tool magazine is more expensive, but the shortened processing time for customers fully reflects the value of the synchronous tool magazine.
