    摘要: An apparatus for automatically tightening a tapped member such as a nut are disclosed. A socket of an open end air wrench mounted on a nut tightening robot is coupled with the tapped member. The robot rotates the socket in a first direction, i.e., a tightening direction, to a first relatively small torque, and subsequently rotates the socket in a second direction opposite to the first direction to a predetermined position, i.e., a central receptive position after the socket being disengaged from the tapped member. A rotary encoder is provided to generate pulses in response to the rotation of the socket in the second rotational direction. An angle of rotation of this rotation of the socket in the second direction is detected by counting the number of pulses generated by the encoder. In response to the angle of rotation detected, a torque wrench is coupled with the tapped member and the robot rotates the torque wrench in the tightening direction to a second relatively greater torque than the first predetermined torque.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for attaching a ring-like part to the outer periphery of a columnar material, as, for example, in the assembling of a catalytic converter. The columnar material is positioned and supported with its axis oriented horizontally. A guide member is supported from the side to position it adjacent to the columnar material on the same axis as the columnar material. The guide member has an outer inclined surface enlarged towards the columnar material. The guide member is then supported in the axial direction and at the same time, has the side support thereof released. The ring-like part is then pushed while guiding it on the outer inclined surface of the guide member to fit it over a portion of the columnar material. The pushing of the ring-like part is released and then the guide member is again supported from the sides, while at the same time, the support thereof from the axial direction is released. Using the disclosed method and apparatus, it is possible to attach the ring-like part to the columnar material without previously passing the ring-like part over the guide member.

    摘要: Apparatus for placing a sheath on a vertically oriented elongated member, the sheath having an open end for receiving the elongated member, comprises an upright magazine for containing a stacked plurality of the sheaths with the openings thereof oriented downwardly, a downwardly extending passage having an upper end communicating with the magazine and a lower end having a discharge opening arranged on a vertical axis with which the elongated member is to be aligned for being received in a respective said sheath discharged from the discharge opening onto the elongated member, a first gate defining the boundary between the magazine and the passage and for blocking transit of the sheath from the magazine into the passage and a second gate below the first gate a distance about equal to the length of a respective said sheath for blocking transit of the sheaths to the discharge opening of the passage, whereby the sheaths may be individually discharged by gravity onto respective said elongated members consecutively positioned in alignment with the axis by a cycle constituting closing the first gate of the loaded apparatus while the second gate is closed thereby to isolate the lowermost of the sheaths between the first and second gates, then opening the second gate thereby to permit the lowermost one of the sheaths of the stack to drop out of the discharge opening over the elongated member aligned with the axis, then closing the second gate and opening the first gate to permit the now lowermost one of the sheaths of the stack to descend onto the second gate, and repeating this cycle for each of the sheaths which is to be deposited on a respective elongated member. Apparatus for assuring the straightness of the elongated member thereby to facilitate the placing of a sheath on the elongated member comprises straightening means movable between an open inoperative condition and a closed operative condition for laterally engaging the elongated member at first, second and third consecutive positions along the length of the elongated member, the engaging at the first and third positions, on the one hand, and the engaging at the second position, on the other hand, being in opposition and holding the elongated member in a straight configuration, and means for effecting movement of the straightening means between the inoperative and operative conditions thereof.
