摘要： An adjustable locator includes a locator element for contact with a workpiece supported on a fixture. The locator comprises a support element in which a ramp element is slidable. The ramp element has a ramp surface which is contacted by a plunger which carries the locator element. Displacement of the ramp element causes displacement of the plunger to adjust the position of the locator element with respect to the support element. A ratchet mechanism permits displacement of the ramp element in one direction, but prevents such movement in the opposite direction. The adjustable locator can be used in a workpiece fixture to achieve an optimum orientation of a workpiece prior to machining.

摘要： A hollow component is adjusted in shape, for example to correct circularity, by means of a shape adjusting tool. The tool comprises a base structure on which adjuster elements are guided. An adjustment ring has a ramp surface corresponding to each adjuster element so that rotation of the adjustment ring causes radial displacement of the adjuster elements 6. The adjuster elements are displaced in unison, and engage the internal surface of the component to be adjusted so as to deform the component to the desired shape. The segments are interconnected by rigid links and a single flexible link, and are supported on bearing rollers mounted on the base structure.

摘要： A hollow component is adjusted in shape, for example to correct circularity, by means of a shape adjusting tool. The tool comprises a base structure 2 on which adjuster elements 6 are guided. An adjustment ring 8 has a ramp surface 26 corresponding to each adjuster element 6 so that rotation of the adjustment ring 8 causes radial displacement of the adjuster elements 6. The adjuster elements 6 are displaced in unison, and engage the internal surface of the component to be adjusted so as to deform the component to the desired shape. The segments 20 are interconnected by rigid links 32 and a single flexible link 34, and are supported on baring rollers 36 mounted on the base structure 2.
