초록

This study developed an automatic tool change system of the SMA-based tool clamping device for applications of micro-machine tools. This paper first describes clamping and unclamping procedures of the automatic tool change system and its basic configuration. Second, it presents fabrication techniques of components, such as a heating/cooling system and a tool loader. Finally, it describes automatic tool change test conducted with a prototype in which the fabrication techniques of components were employed. As the results of the test, times needed for clamping and unclamping operations were estimated to 18(s) and 8(s) respectively. The experimental results confirm that the proposed automatic tool change system can be sucessfully applied to micro-machine tools.
