A machine for mechanically treating components, such as metallic hollow members having a body and a bottom. The machine has a stationary frame bearing a plurality of work stations each of which has a tool pair including a first fixed tool coaxial with a movable second tool. The first and second tools are arranged on two coaxial circular paths with the first tool of each pair on a bolster. The second tool of each pair is on one end of a ram member having a tool bearing end and an actuated end. The ram member is slidably supported in guiding means. The actuated end of the ram member is connected to a cylindrical actuating cam having a free end in contact with the actuated ram member end. At least one pair of the tools are different than another pair. The tool bolster is immovable, the cam is rotated and transfer mechanisms are associated with the machine so that each component is treated by at least two different pairs of tools.

A method and apparatus is shown for cutting logs into lumber by first cutting the logs into elongated wedge-shaped segments and then cutting the segments into boards. A pair of opposed spaced-apart chucks grip the ends of the log, and a saw mounted on a carriage makes longitudinal and radial cuts approximately to the center line of the log. The log is rotated incrementally by the chucks between cuts to produce the wedge-shaped segments. After all cuts have been made, the chucks release the segments and the segments are then resawn into boards.

The disclosed example includes a punch press having a horizontal tooling plate to be indexed through 180* to index work from a load station to a work station, and return it. Two racks and pinions and an actuator are combined with a suitable eccentric linkage to provide a high mechanical advantage of the actuator over the tooling plate at the start and finish of indexing, and a high speed therebetween.

The disclosed machine comprises a rotatable indexing head for holding an angle ring or the like preferably in a vertical plane. The indexing head is rotatable about a horizontal axis and is provided with a motor drive whereby the indexing head can be turned to successive positions at which holes are to be formed in the angle ring. Three jaws are slidably mounted on the indexing head to engage and clamp the ring. The jaws are operated by lead screws fitted with bevel gears which engage an axial bevel gear having a motor drive for operating the jaws. A punch or other suitable device is provided to punch the successive holes. The punch is mounted on a set of compound carriages whereby the punch can be moved radially and axially into and out of punching relation to the ring. The carriages are power operated and are arranged so that the pitch circle radius of the holes can be precisely controlled. An automatic electronic control system may be employed to control the indexing, clamping and punch positioning drives.
