摘要:
A clamp assembly for clamping first and second objects together includes a sleeve adapted to fit within a first bore in the first object, the sleeve having a first end, a second end, and a slit extending from the first end to the second end. Bolt-driven sleeve-expansion components operate to radially expand the sleeve within the first bore of the first object while applying force to the sleeve axially toward the second object. One embodiment includes a cylindrically shaped, longitudinally split sleeve of resiliently deformable composition. A conically shaped member and a bolt having a conically shaped head and a shank adapted to screw into the second bore cooperate as sleeve expansion components. The tapered head of the bolt faces a first tapered inner surface of the sleeve, and a tapered exterior surface on the conically shaped member faces a second tapered inner surface of the sleeve. The shank of the bolt extends axially through the sleeve and the conically shaped member. Screwing the end portion of the shank sufficiently into the second bore in the second object causes the tapered exterior surface of the conically shaped head of the bolt and the tapered exterior surface of the conically shaped member to cooperatively bear against respective ones of the first and second tapered inner surfaces of the sleeve so that the sleeve expands and bears against the first object radially as well as axially toward the second object. Unscrewing the bolt a partial turn unlocks the clamp.

An adapter for converting a standard machine vise into a set-up orthogonal collet fixture including front and back members that bolt to the vise jaws after the vise jaw plates have been removed, an internally tapered sleeve in the back member for engaging a taper on a standard 5C Collet, a take-up nut seated in the same member for engaging threads on the end of the collet to hold the collet, and a cam for moving the sleeve relative to the collet as the vise is closed causing the front member to move toward the back member pulling or pushing the sleeve over the collet thereby causing the collet to clamp the workpiece.

An improved collet and collet fixture provides an adjustable height for a work piece held in the collet so that the work piece may be held at the proper height. The collet is locked in position from the bottom by the fixture, thereby providing a secure location and holding of the collet and accurate machining of the work piece.

A machine tool (2) comprising a mobile table (11) and a support and gripping device (200) fitted to one said machine tool (2) and which comprises:—pincer means (210) for blocking the part;—a support (250) which contains and supports the pincer means (210) and is blocked to the mobile table (11). The pincer means (210) comprise a part blocking pincer (212) and an intermediate pincer (211), respectively one inside the other, both elastic. The part blocking pincer (212) has a structure for gripping the part following interaction between the intermediate pincer (211) and the support. (250); in addition the pincer means (210) are suitable for being placed in rotation around the pincer axis (P-P).
摘要:
The clamping apparatus comprises a chuck member and a collet member to be clampingly fixed thereto. The collet member comprises, at its rear side, a peripheral shoulder. The top side of this shoulder is provided with a thrust surface adapted to engage radially displaceable clamping balls of the chuck member. The bottom side of the shoulder is provided with four centering grooves, corresponding in size and location to and cooperating with four centering cams provided in the chuck member. Upon clamping the collet member to the chuck member, the collet member is positioned in X- and Y-directions as well as regarding the angular orientation around the Z-axis by means of the centering cams of the chuck member engaging the centering grooves of the collet member. For defining an exact position of the collet member in Z-direction, the collet member is provided with an annular rear surface adapted to rest on Z-reference surface portions of the chuck member upon clamping the collet member to the chuck member.
