摘要:
An automated machine tool is provided and includes a frame having a first workpiece transfer station at a first location on the frame; at least two self-contained processing units, each of the units including structure for holding the workpiece for processing and structure for performing a process on the workpiece; and structure for sequentially indexing the processing units to the first workpiece transfer station for transferring workpieces to and from each of the processing units.
摘要:
A method of for performing a machining operation and recovering a liquid used in the machining operation. The method includes the steps of providing a machine tool to perform a machining operation, directing a liquid against at least one of a) a part of the machine tool and b) a workpiece on which the machining operation is being performed by the machine tool in such a manner that discrete particles become entrained in the liquid, directing at least a part of the liquid with the discrete particles entrained therein to a first location, and at the first location separating the liquid from the discrete particles.
摘要:
A system for delivering elongate workpieces to a point of use. The delivering system has a first storage unit for a supply of a first type of elongate workpiece, a second storage unit for a supply of a second type of elongate workpiece, a pickup unit for selectively picking up elongate workpieces one-by-one from the first and second storage units, and a guide system for guidingly moving the pickup unit with a workpiece picked up thereby to a predetermined transfer location.
摘要:
A structural frame is provided for a machine tool including a tool holder and a workpiece holder for holding the workpiece as the workpiece is machined by a cutting tool held in the tool holder. The frame includes a base, a bed for supporting a tool holder and a workpiece holder as the tool holder and the workpiece holder cooperate to machine a workpiece, and structure cooperating between the bed and the base for simultaneous movement of the bed, a tool holder supported by the bed and a workpiece holder supported by the bed relative to the base between (a) a first operative position where the tool holder and the workpiece holder are supported by the bed at a first angular orientation relative to the base as the tool holder and the workpiece holder cooperate to machine a workpiece, and (b) a second operative position where the tool holder and the workpiece holder are supported by the bed at a second angular orientation relative to the base as the tool holder and the workpiece holder cooperate to machine a workpiece.
