摘要:
A parallel power chuck for clamping two ends of a shaft or similar workpiece for machining using two centering mechanisms. The centering mechanisms independently operate from a single internal actuation mechanism and clamp each end of the shaft regardless of shaft size from end to end. The internal actuation mechanism further equalizes applied clamping force after compensating for size variation.

A work holder assembly for use in clamping a workpiece being machined. A chuck includes a fixed sleeve about which is mounted a rotatable collet. A plurality of individual clamps extend from circumferential spaced locations associated with the collet. The clamps each include a first spring biased and linear traveling component actuating a second radially traveling and adjustable component into engagement with annular disposed locations of the workpiece. Each the clamps exhibits a wedge shape at an interface between the linear and radial components, both in order to minimize clamping forces and to prevent backdriving of the clamps by the tooling. A fluid pressure extends through a location in the chuck, the collet further having a fluid delivery component in communication with the fluid supply and which is in contact with workpiece engaging locations, to overcome the spring bias of said pin in a fluid actuated release condition.

The invention relates to a rapid clamping system (50), comprising a clamping housing (12), with a piston (18) acted on from one side by springs (15) and which may be pressurised from the other side, with an actuator (60) arranged on the piston (18) to follow the piston movement, with at least one clamping bolt (32) arranged to be displaced perpendicular to the piston axis (28), in a working coupling acting in both directions of displacement with the actuator (60) by means of an inclined guide (52), whereby, with the springs (16) extended, the clamping bolt (32) takes up a locking position for locking a clamping pin (14) which may be introduced in the clamping housing (12) and which adopts an unlocking position for removal of the clamping pin (14) on corresponding pressurization of the piston (18). The invention is characterized in that the inclined guide (52) has an irregular guide contour (54) with varying angles of inclination (α, β, γ, δ) relative to the piston axis (28) to achieve varying translation ratios.

The invention relates to a method of chucking easily deformed workpieces (6) sensitive to deformation, particularly thin-walled rings, wherein the workpiece (6) to be chucked is placed between the jaws (2) of a chuck (1) comprising a pole block (7) having at least one magnet (4) in a chuck body (3) behind the jaws, and wherein the workpiece is centered by closing the jaws (2) and fixed in this centered position by the magnet (4). The invention further relates to a chuck (1) comprising a magnet (4) provided in a pole block (7) behind the jaws (2).
摘要:
A base jaw and a top jaw of an implement clamping system, which can be plugged into each other and which comprise engaging surfaces configured together into cuneal manner and limiting the depth of penetration between the two jaws. The wedge angle is at least 85° or more, but at most 140°, thereby substantially avoiding jamming the engaging surfaces while nevertheless the top jaws are held in place in all directions by the base jaws.

The present invention relates to a chuck for gripping workpieces having an outer chuck body rotatable about a chuck axis and defining a cavity. The chuck includes a collar, coupled to the outer chuck body, having a slot with a slot axis angled relative to said chuck axis. An inner chuck body located within the cavity is movable along the chuck axis relative to the collar and the outer chuck body. The inner chuck body includes a bore having a bore axis angled relative to said chuck axis into which the jaw rod is disposed, with the jaw rod being coupled to the collar.

A parallel gripper includes a housing and two adjustable gripper base jaws which are displacably guided in a jaw guiding recess. The base jaws are moved relative to one another by a wedge hook gearing that is adjusted by a piston guided in the housing. The jaw guiding recess is provided with complementary configured guiding grooves. The ratio of the wall thickness of the housing between the base of the guiding grooves and the outside of the housing to the width of the housing measured vertically in relation to the direction of displacement of the base jaws is at least 0.2. The ratio of the width of inclined traction of the wedge hook gearing to the outside width of the base jaws is at least 0.4.
摘要:
A chuck assembly for use in a substrate spin, rinse, and dry (SRD) module is provided. The chuck assembly includes a wedge, a chuck body, and a plurality of grippers. The wedge has a sidewall and is designed to move from a lower position to an upper position and from the upper position to the lower position thus opening and closing the chuck assembly, respectively. The chuck body has a cylindrical shape and is designed to include a plurality of linkage arms. The chuck body is designed to enclose the wedge such that each linkage arm is substantially in contact with the sidewall of the wedge. The cylindrical shape of the chuck body is designed to reduce air disturbance around a surface of a substrate. The plurality of grippers are designed to be coupled to the chuck body via a plurality of rotation pins. Each of the grippers is configured to stand substantially upright so as to engage the substrate when the wedge is in a lower position, and each of the grippers is configured to lie substantially flat so as to disengage the substrate when the wedge is in the lower position.
摘要:
A combination of two or more jaw assemblies for mounting onto a self-centering power chuck to move an irregular workpiece to the axial centerline of the power chuck after it has been clamped. Each jaw assembly has a independent hydraulic system which, when activated, reduces the length of the jaw assembly, thereby moving the workpiece clamped in the power chuck. The imperfect pipe's average centerline can be moved to any location within the combined adjustable range of all the jaw assemblies. Each jaw assembly consists of a base jaw that is affixed to the power chuck, a connecting block that moves when the hydraulic system is actuated, a piston, a cylinder, and an interchangeable swivel insert with a serrated gripping surface.
摘要:
A lathe chuck has a chuck body centered on and rotatable about a main axis and formed with a plurality of radially extending jaw-guide grooves and, transverse to the grooves, with respective guide passages each in turn formed with an abutment. Respective jaws displaceable in the grooves each have at least one tooth exposed in the respective guide passage and respective control rods displaceable along the passages each have at least one tooth meshing with the tooth of the respective jaw. A control pin is axially displaceable in each rod between an extended position projecting into the respective jaw-guide groove and a retracted position. The control pins are displaced on engagement with the teeth of the respective jaws into the retracted positions. A latch pin is axially displaceable in each rod between an extended latching position engaging the respective abutment and preventing movement of the respective rod in the respective passage and a retracted position permitting such movement. A spring urges the pins into their extended positions, and a coupling member engaged between the pins displaces the respective latch pin into the respective retracted position on displacement of the control pin into its retracted position. Thus, when there is no jaw in the guide groove, the latch pin of the respective control rod latches same against-movement in the respective passage.
