20080226427 | APPARATUS FOR ACCURATELY POSITIONING AND SUPPORTING MODULAR TOOLING - A tooling apparatus for securing and positioning an end effector tooling with respect to a workpiece. The tooling apparatus includes an elongated, substantially cylindrical backbone connectable to a manipulator and at least one saddle mount connected to the backbone. At least one primary arm mount is connected to the saddle mount, and at least one substantially cylindrical primary arm is connected to the primary arm mount. At least one tooling mount is connected to the at least one primary arm and is connectable to the end effector tooling. | 09-18-2008 |
20100278619 | Feeder of rods with advancement control - A feeder for rods into a lathe comprising a motorized thruster for sliding and pushing a rod along a guide towards a processing lathe until the rod is taken by the lathe. An automatic control device actuates the thruster to advance according to a first thrust value and a sensor detects the movement of the thruster. If the sensor detects a minimum movement or no movement at all a thrust increase is commanded up to a predetermined maximum value. If the thruster does not move at all, this indicates jamming. | 11-04-2010 |
20130315692 | STOCK FEEDER FOR WOODWORKING EQUIPMENT - A stock feeder for woodworking equipment includes a base, a cross clamp, a horizontal bar unit, a vertical bar unit, a feeding unit, and an electrical unit. The electrical unit has an electrical unit main body and a variable-frequency drive. The electrical unit main body has a first housing, a plurality of heat dissipation grooves provided on the outer periphery of the first housing, and a power fan which is independently mounted on a top portion of the first housing and in communication with the heat dissipation grooves. The variable-frequency drive has a second housing, a variable-frequency circuit sealed in the second housing, and a control panel exposed outside the second housing. The second housing has an outer surface provided with a plurality of heat dissipation slots corresponding in position to and in communication with the heat dissipation grooves of the electrical unit main body. | 11-28-2013 |
20140255129 | Bar Puller - In a bar puller, pins mount serrated rollers to pivoting arms, which are mounted by additional pins to a bar puller body. The body houses movable cups positioned to compress springs in response to pivoting motion of the pivoting arms. A cover retains the springs and cups in the body. In a manufacturing process where elongated stock material needs to be positioned automatically, such as in a CNC turning center, the bar puller manipulates the elongated material in the machine by holding it rigidly so that the bar puller can move the elongated material on the axis of elongation. This is accomplished by forcing the end effectors over the material, which separates the end effectors by pivoting the arms. The geometry of the pivoting arms causes interaction with the cups and springs to generate an opposing spring force to separate the end effectors. | 09-11-2014 |
20150360294 | APPARATUS FOR FEEDING BARS TO A MACHINE TOOL - An apparatus for feeding bars to a machine tool including an end adjacent a working zone in which a spindle is provided; a drum element, rotatable around an axis; a movable support provided on the drum element for supporting and guiding a bar parallel to the axis. The movable support slidably drivable on the drum element parallel to the axis between a disengagement retracted configuration and an engagement extended configuration. The movable support having telescopic tube configured for being received inside tubular housing and guide for coupling with the spindle. The telescopic tube defines, a cylindrical containing structure configured for enclosing and supporting in a distributed manner a respective bar along the entire supporting zone, so as to prevent the bar from flexing because of the centrifugal actions generated by rotation. | 12-17-2015 |
414017000 | With fluid pressure actuated pushing or pulling means | 1 |
20090041562 | Part-delivery apparatus and method for the same - According to an aspect of an embodiment, there is provided a part-delivery apparatus which transports a part to a designated part-delivery position by drawing the part onto a head by suction pressure at a designated part-suction position, and which releases the part at the part-delivery position by stopping application of the suction pressure. The apparatus includes: a compliance mechanism for allowing movement of the head in a horizontal plane; an upper-side positioning unit for positioning the head in the part-suction position by responding to an upward movement of the head; and a lower-side positioning unit for positioning the head in the part-delivery position by responding to the downward movement of the head. | 02-12-2009 |
