Abstract:
A machining system includes: a working machine that machines an article while supplying a dielectric working fluid to the article; a robot that transports the machined article from the working machine; a controller that controls the robot; and a recessed wall part that is provided outside the working machine so as to demarcate the transport path of the article. The robot includes a gripping part that grips the article and a rotating part that rotates the gripping part. The controller is configured to move the gripping part with the machined article along the transport path while rotating the gripping part in the recessed wall part by means of the rotating part.
Abstract:
A workpiece processing system is provided that includes a first carousel rotary conveyor associated with a first plurality of stations through which workpieces are successively rotationally conveyed, a second carousel rotary conveyor associated with a second plurality of stations through which the workpieces are successively rotationally conveyed, and an inter-carousel transport configured to selectively operate in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the inter-carousel transport is operable to successively transfer the workpieces from the first carousel rotary conveyor to the second carousel rotary conveyor. In the second mode, the inter-carousel transport is operable to successively reorient the workpieces of a selected one of the first carousel rotary conveyor or the second carousel rotary conveyor by approximately 180 degrees of rotation for further successive rotational conveyance of the workpieces through the stations associated with the selected first or second carousel rotary conveyor.
Abstract:
A processing apparatus for container blanks, with a machine bed, a feed device for feeding container blanks, a discharge device for removal of container blanks, a rotatably mounted rotary worktable with several locating devices designed for conveyance of container blanks along a circular orbit section shaped conveyance path, wherein the conveyance path determines a first circle segment shaped surface section, several operating devices lying opposite the rotary worktable in the radial direction, and at least one conveyor designed for conveyance of components of container blanks and/or for container blanks along a conveyor section between a component mounting and an assigned operating device. The component mounting of the conveyor is located in a second circle segment shaped surface section, which supplements the first surface section determined by the circular orbit section shaped conveyance path to make a full circle.
Abstract:
A manufacturing apparatus (2) for components (3), which has at least one movable loading station (20) designed as a tool magazine (13) and having reception points (39) with different tools (4, 5, 6, 7) for different component types A-I. The loading station (20) is connected to one or more machining stations (20, 22′) at which at least one machining device (23) and at least one handling device (24) for handling and releasing the components (3) from the tool (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) are arranged. The selected Figure is FIG. 5.
Abstract:
The multi-spindle automatic lathe (10) has an apparatus for machining the rear side of a workpiece (15). For this, it is provided with a transfer device (21) for removing a workpiece machined at its front side from a primary workpiece spindle (15) of the machine and for transferring the workpiece to a machining station (22) for the rear side machining, whereby the transfer device comprises a gripper (23) as well as a translation device (24) moveable parallel or coaxially to the workpiece spindle (14) between this and a rear wall (19) of the machining chamber, which translation device takes up the workpiece from the gripper for transfer to the machining station for the rear side machining. So as to avoid collision of the tools for the front and rear side machining or their actuation carriage and to execute the machining at the rear side of the workpieces largely independently from the front side machining, the machining station (22) for the rear side machining is located outside the machining chamber (16) for the front side machining and comprises a secondary workpiece reception (29) which can be moved axially between the translation device (24) and a work position for the rear side machining.
Abstract:
A polishing apparatus comprises a rotating table intermittently rotating through 120°0 increments; three polishing drums and three work-holding means 12 provided on the rotating table; a handling means for unloading a processed work from the work-holding means at a handling position and supplying an unprocessed work to the work-holding means at the same position; and a work-inverting means for inverting a work, the front-plane-side edge of which has been polished, at a front-plane edge polishing position.
Abstract:
A fully automatic cutting metal-working machine, which includes a material feed unit, a cutting metal-working main unit controlled to process metal rod material delivered from the material feed unit into finished products, and a waste material conveyer controlled to collect and carry waste material out of the cutting metal-working main unit, wherein the cutting metal-working main unit includes a machine base, a casing mounted on the machine base, a material cut-off shaft assembly controlled to cut metal rod material from the material feed unit into individual workpieces, a plurality of processing shaft assemblies mounted around the casing, a rotary center fixture holder mounted within the casing at the center and controlled to carry workpiece to each of the processing shaft assemblies in proper order to receive a respective processing procedure, and a steering shaft assembly controlled to reverse the position of workpiece at each fixture.
Abstract:
In order to improve a multiple-spindle turning machine comprising a machine frame, a spindle drum arranged to rotate relative to the machine frame around a drum axis having a number of work piece spindles movable in the direction of rotation, said work piece spindles being respectively provided with a work piece receiving means for a work piece, and a number of stations, comprising at least one machining station, arranged consecutively on the machine frame in the direction of rotation of the work pieces corresponding to the number of work piece spindles, in such a way that the number of tools which may be used can be increased at low expense, it is proposed that for machining the work pieces, the at least one machining station has a first and a second spindle position, which are arranged at an angular distance from one another relative to the drum axis; that the spindle drum is rotatable in such a manner that a work piece spindle with a work piece may be positioned in each of the spindle positions; and that each spindle position is provided with its own machining tool.
Abstract:
A compact multiple-spindle machine tool has a spindle support which is rotatably mounted on a machine frame. Several work piece spindles are carried by the spindle support and may be positioned in various rotational positions when the spindle support is rotated about a rotational axis. A work piece is clamped to a spindle and can be machined by a tool in a work area. The machine frame has a bottom part which stands on a base. A stand extends upwards from the base to carry the spindle support. The work piece spindles are arranged in spindle positions around the stand. The working area for machining the work pieces which are held by the work piece spindles are also arranged around the stand.
