Abstract:
The method of the present invention cleans abrasive faces of an upper abrasive plate and a lower abrasive plate of an abrasive machine. The method is executed by a cleaning device including: a nozzle for jetting water; a brush for preventing the jetted water from scattering in the air, the brush enclosing the nozzle; and another brush for closing a gap between the preventing brush and an outer edge of the upper abrasive plate, the method is characterized by the steps of: jetting water from the nozzle toward the abrasive face of the upper abrasive plate; moving the nozzle toward the outer edge of the upper abrasive plate; and closing the gap by the closing brush when the gap is formed between the preventing brush and the outer edge of the upper abrasive plate.
Abstract:
The abrasive machine is capable of preventing deformation and bad abrasion of an abrasive cloth, maintaining flatness of an abrasive face of an abrasive plate and improving abrading accuracy. The abrasive machine comprises the abrasive plate and a holding unit for holding a work piece. In the holding unit, an inner head has a first concave section. An outer head has a second concave section. A holding plate is provided in the first concave section. An elastic holding member forms a first chamber. An outer enclosing member is provided to the outer head. An inner enclosing member is provided between the outer enclosing member and the inner head. A pressing member presses the abrasive face of the abrasive plate and encloses the holding plate. An elastic ring member a second chamber. A pressurizing unit pressurizes the chambers so as to press the work piece and the pressing member onto the abrasive face.
Abstract:
The work piece feeding machine is capable of correctly and efficiently setting a work piece in a through-hole of a carrier. The work piece feeding machine comprises a positioning unit detecting amount of displacement of the work piece with respect to the through-hole and correcting the position of the work piece in the through-hole. The positioning unit includes: a lighting source section provided on the work piece side or the carrier side, the lighting source section throwing polarized light on the work piece and the carrier; a camera provided on the carrier side or the work piece side, the camera receiving the polarized light from the lighting source section so as to catch images of an outer edge of the work piece and an inner edge of the through-hole in a visual field thereof; and an image processing section measuring the amount of displacement on the basis of positions of the outer edge and the inner edge.
