Devices, systems, and methods used to assemble a structural member, such as a floor truss, are disclosed. The systems include a structural member assembly table including a worktable and a drop-down platform pivotably coupled to the worktable. The drop-down platform includes an end datum and a drop-down mechanism coupled to the support surface. The drop-down mechanism is configured to transition the support surface from an operational position to an eject position to drop the end datum below a work surface of the worktable to eject the assembled structural member from the worktable.

A workpiece conveying and feeding unit for conveying a long workpiece in the lengthwise direction to feed the workpiece to a cutting machine is disposed in the rear of the cutting machine. A workpiece conveying unit conveys the workpiece in the lengthwise direction of the workpiece into a workpiece conveying passage of the workpiece conveying and feeding unit. When a plurality of workpieces placed on the workpiece conveying unit are sequentially conveyed to the workpiece conveying passage of the workpiece conveying and feeding unit to convey the workpieces to the cutting machine, the side surface of the workpiece which is conveyed to the workpiece conveying passage of the workpiece conveying and feeding unit by the workpiece conveying unit is detected by a side-surface detector. In accordance with the conveyance distance calculated in accordance with the diameter of the workpiece, the side surface of which has been detected, and the positional relationship between the workpiece conveying passage and the side-surface detector, the workpiece is located on the workpiece conveying passage.

A method to remove pieces (14) cut off from bar-shaped workpiece material (5) by a cutting machine (1) is provided as well as an apparatus to carry out this process, wherein the piece (14) of the material (5) to be cut lies on a machine table (7) during cutting behind the cutting plane (8) in the direction of feed (9) of the material (5), is gripped between gripping jaws (12, 13) from behind the cutting plane (8) only. At the end of the cut, the cut off piece (14) is moved away from the cutting plane (8) by the gripping jaws (12, 13) in the material feed direction (9) and is tilted about an axis perpendicular to the material feed direction (9) such that its most recently cut surface is essentially horizontal and directed downward and that the piece (14) is then discharged by the gripping jaws (12, 13) by means of an essentially vertical motion downward onto an offload table (21).

A manually operated pallet changer system for use with automatic machine tools includes a pallet changer and a compatible machine tool mounted pallet receiver. The pallet changer includes a massive, floor supported base to which a cantilevered first platform is pivotally attached for rotation between a pallet-exchange position and a work-setup position. A second platform rests atop the first platform and supports a pair of work pallet guides. The two platforms are rotatably attached near their centers so that the pallet guides can be interchanged by rotating the upper platform about its center by 180°. The configuration permits the platforms to be rotated as a unit away from a machine tool to the work-setup position. Work pallets are assembled and then the platforms are rotated together into the pallet-exchange position in which one of the pallet guides is aligned for transferring a work pallet to the machine tool mounted pallet receiver. The receiver includes an air bearing upper surface for simplifying the movement and positioning of a work pallet, a deployable clamping plate, and a pair of retractable locating pins for engaging openings on the underside of a work pallet to insure precision alignment during a machining operation.

An apparatus is disclosed for a chuck with a guide roller assembly useful in automatic and semi-automatic machining operations. This apparatus provides for a chuck with a guide roller assembly that will prevent the end of the pipe from striking the jaws of the chuck as the pipe is moved into position to be gripped by the chuck and that will exert a vibration dampening force on the pipe while the pipe.Also disclosed is a plurality of rollers that are mounted on the jaws of the chuck on the side of the jaws toward which the workpiece travels as it is moved into position to be gripped by the chuck and that are made of an elastomeric material and positioned to engage the workpiece ahead of the jaws of the chuck so that the rollers will be compressed as the jaws of the chuck move into engagement with the workpiece to provide a vibration dampening force on the pipe on the side of the chuck away from the machining operations.

In this apparatus rotatable, annular guide fittings receive the bar stock at support standards which are spaced apart in succession along the path of the bar stock at the inlet side of a screw machine. Each fitting contains spring-biased rollers which guide the bar stock between them and yieldably restrain it against vibrating transversely. The bar stock is unconfined except in the spaced-apart fittings. For a multiple screw machine, each support standard has a rotatively indexed cross plate carrying several such fittings, one for each bar stock.

A workpiece support device includes a shaft rotatable about a shaft rotation axis of the shaft, a first support, a first reciprocating mechanism, and a first connecting rod having one end and another end. The shaft extends along a longitudinal direction of a workpiece. The first support includes a first support roller that is rotatable about a first roller rotation axis orthogonal to the shaft rotation axis and that is configured to contact the workpiece to support the workpiece. The first reciprocating mechanism has one end connected to the first support and is configured to reciprocate in a first expansion-contraction axis direction. The one end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first support. The another end of the first connecting rod is connected to the shaft such that the another end of the first connecting rod is rotatable together with the shaft.
