How to deal with the stuck tool in the CNC lathe tool change process?

To put it simply, there are two situations in which the CNC lathe manufacturer has a stuck tool during the tool change process of the CNC lathe. One is that the tool has not been pulled out, and the other is that the tool has been pulled out. The first situation is relatively easy to solve. Mainly introduce the solution of the second case.

1) Release the brake device on the motor, and use the adjustable wrench to rotate the outer hexagon on the motor. Generally, the direction of rotation is the same as the direction of the sticking of the tool arm. In short, the tool arm of the automatic tool changer is separated from the high-speed vertical machining center. Spindle.
2) When the tool arm of the CNC lathe is detached from the spindle, if there is a tool on the spindle, you can hear the sound of air leakage, that is, the spindle is in the state of loosening the tool. This is to be noted, - be sure to put something on the tooling, the tool is at this time. There are cases of falling.
3) Please keep rotating the tool arm until the tool arm completes a complete tool change. The tool arm also has an origin position. In the tool magazine panel, there are 3 red lights. Generally, the light in the middle is the indicator light that the tool arm is at the origin position.
4) After troubleshooting, turn the brake device of the tool arm motor back to the original position, and then perform the tool change action when the CNC lathe is in the MDI state to see if it is normal. If it is normal, please remember to use the tool for processing. All knives are checked and processed under safe conditions.
