摘要： A mechanism and control for mechanically moving a rotary metal removing tool such as a milling cutter or grinder in a path determined by a regular or irregular contour of a work part. The control is such that the tool may move at a constant feed rate or at a variable rate, for example, more slowly, in areas where a heavier cut is necessary. A contour cam controls the tool position and a second cam controls the feed rate in either a constant or variable velocity as determined by the workpiece.

摘要： For use in a work processing line for workpieces, a workpiece storage system including a topologically closed loop track means having downwardly sloping surfaces coupled with elevators and lowerators in the loop, and work holding, gravity-operated pallets to run on said tracks having track engaging wheels equipped with retarding means responsive to wheel angular velocity and utilizing wheels of different diameters on the track depending on the loaded or unloaded condition of the pallets to control the speed of the pallets. Auxiliary track means, pallet loaders and unloaders, and switching mechanisms are incorporated in the system with elevators and lowerators to allow the storage system to function between multiple work processing lines, between single and multiple lines or between multiple and single lines to increase the flexibility of a work processing activity and reduce downtime.

摘要： A reversible rotary indexing mechanism capable of generating large indexing angles including those exceeding one revolution. A constant velocity rotary input is connected to a rotary output by an eccentric accelerating-decelerating drive means which, by reason of a shifting mechanism, is selectively disengageable with the output at a maximum velocity, zero acceleration condition, while at the same time a constant velocity drive from the input is connected to the output. Conversely, the constant velocity drive is disconnected at the same time that the accelerating-decelerating drive means is reconnected to accomplish deceleration. An output lock is also provided and actuators including composite cams can be utilized to accomplish the action of the shifting mechanism.In addition, the mechanism can be used with higher harmonic components to increase the design flexibility with greater inherent dwell capabilities and significantly longer constant velocity ranges.

摘要： An article carrier system in which articles are transferred between pallets and support means particularly useful in transfer systems where work articles are being processed in the way of machining and the like and being carried by conveyors, either on pallets or as a bare part, from station to station. An endless power driven, optionally reversible, conveyor is disposed vertically and has a plurality of pallet conveying buckets and a plurality of article conveying buckets arranged in a regular sequence on the conveyor. Adjacent the conveyor are transfer and support stations for removing and adding articles from and to the conveyor and for removing and adding pallets operating in response to the conveyor movement. The conveying and support members are interdigitally related so there can be a proper pass through for the individual functions. Thus, article buckets can pick up and deposit articles and pallet buckets can pick up and deposit pallets at respective support stations, and likewise pallets can be loaded and unloaded in various sequences.

摘要： A coupling between adjacent ends of transfer bar sections which includes a screw having threads of opposite hand at opposite ends thereof engaged with threaded counterbores in the ends of the two transfer bar sections. A spacer ground precisely to a desired length is clamped between the ends of the bar sections when the screw is tightened. The spacer and screw have radially aligned holes therein to accommodate a tool for tightening the screw. The holes are dimensioned relative to the tool so that the screw can be tightened a final increment without rotating the spacer.

摘要： Mechanisms which can produce, with a constant speed rotary input member, a reciprocating motion capable of producing very long dwells at each end of the stroke of the reciprocating motion, unequally long dwells at opposite ends of a stroke, and/or momentary stops intermediate the ends of the stroke. The mechanism can generate a dwell at each end of the stroke and an additional dwell at a predetermined point along the stroke in one direction of travel and another additional dwell at another predetermined point along the reverse direction of travel. The mechanism is further capable of creating high degrees of kinematic versatility between the ends of the stroke of the reciprocating mechanism.

摘要： A system for transferring workpieces generally vertically from a station at one height in a workpiece support or transfer device to a station at another height in another transfer device or support. The workpiece is moved vertically by an elevator which travels along a path through the stations from a point below the lower station to a point above the upper station. To smoothly and rapidly move the workpiece the elevator is accelerated and decelerated and dwells at least when picking up and depositing a workpiece. To avoid collisions, interference and the necessity of precisely synchronizing movement of the transfer and elevator, when in its fully raised and lowered positions, the elevator is clear of and does not interfere with the transfer and supports and any workpieces in the stations.
