摘要:
Moving parts of the chuck are enclosed in a sealed cavity which is provided with a circulating lubrication. The power which drives its flow is derived from the force needed for opening and shutting the tongs of the chuck. In a chuck with hydraulically actuated jaws, this power is delivered by the pressure differences that occur between different parts of the hydraulic circuit actuating the jaws of the chuck and the hydraulic liquid acts also as lubricant.

The clamping apparatus (10) has a clamping ring (13) of an elastomer, which has a U-shaped cross section. The clamping ring (13) is seated in a recess (15) in a holding device (12) having parallel side walls. The recess (50) can be connected via a connecting line (18) to a hydraulic or pneumatic pressure source. The outside of the web part (21) of the U-profile acts as a clamping surface (24). Embedded in the area of this clamping surface is a number of clamping elements (27) made of a material of higher strength, in which at least that envelope line which faces away from the clamping surface (24) is exposed. The clamping elements (27) have the same axial extent as the clamping ring (13). One of the side walls of the recess (15) is formed by a clamping part (31), which is part of a clamping device (36) and is guided axially displaceably on the holding device (12) and is sealed off with respect to the latter by means of a circumferential seal element (34). The clamping part (31) is coupled to a power drive (36) which acts in the axial direction. The clamping apparatus (10) is considered both for external clamping and for the internal clamping of a workpiece.

A rotary chuck having a chuck body supporting a plurality of clamping jaws for movement between open and closed positions and defining a cylindrical piston chamber containing an axially movable double acting piston coupled to a jaw actuator. A plurality of springs contained within the piston chamber apply biasing force to the piston in one axial direction to urge the jaws toward closed positions. An incrementally adjustable pneumatic control system is operable to apply pressure to the piston in opposition to the springs to reduce the resultant clamping force applied by the jaws in closed position. The control system is also operable to act in consort with the springs to increase the resultant clamping force applied by the jaws in closed position.

A method is disclosed of controlling a hydraulic chuck of a rotary machine tool, the chuck clamping a workpiece to be machined and being actuated by a double-acting clamping/unclamping actuator. A clamping pressure controlled in accordance with a clamping pressure set point is applied to at least one chamber of the actuator and the clamping pressure is maintained in the corresponding chamber if the control pressure upstream of the actuator suddenly falls due to a malfunction. The clamping pressure is controlled by a closed loop and is modified in the chamber to disable the aforementioned maintaining of the pressure for a predetermined time period in response to an operator request to modify the clamping force applied to the workpiece. The disabling is being at least equal to the time necessary for the control system to stabilize.

There is provided a chuck having four radial jaw grooves, two pairs of opposed jaws movably provided in the grooves, a first rotary vane actuator for actuating one pair of the opposed jaws, and a second rotary actuator for actuating the other pair of the opposed jaws, an inlet for admitting fluid into chambers of the actuators, and an outlet for discharging fluid from the chambers. The first and second vane actuators are opearated by the fluid admitted from the one inlet such that the two pairs of opposed jaws are differentially actuated by said first and second rotary vane actuators. The first rotary vane actuator includes a first pressure chamber and the second rotary vane actuator includes a second pressure chamber, in which the first and second pressure chambers are in fluid communication via at least one fluid-conducting path.

An arrangement for a hydraulically operated tool holder has a pressurizing system for operating a clamping device for a tool or workpiece. The pressurizing system comprises a movable operating element for pressure generation whereby the movement of the operating element causes a movement of a guideway which has an inclined or end or bend surface with respect to its direction of movement. The guideway coacts with the actuator rolling or sliding at the surface thereof whereby the movement resulting from the movement of the guideway is transmitted to at least one pressure transfer piston in a pressure cylinder. The pressure transfer piston comprises at least one support part for the actuator and a lip seal and coacts with the clamping device.

A rotary machine element has at least one functional part performing movements into stop positions, which stop positions are nominal stop positions or mechanical terminal stop positions and are functionally correlated. At least one position sensor is provided for detecting individual actual position values of the stop positions independently from one another. At least one position sensor is located in a control path between the at least one functional part and an NC control. The control path is active in positions between the nominal stop positions; the mechanical terminal stop positions; or the nominal stop positions and the mechanical terminal stop positions. Based on acquired actual position values of the at least one functional part, the speed and acceleration of the at least one functional part are determined by NC-control.

The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) for gripping and holding or releasing a material (M), such as material held in a lathe chuck. The arrangement includes a piston-cylinder assembly (2) and a plurality of material gripping and holding or releasing elements, so-called gripping element arrangements (3). The gripping elements are movable between two positions, an open position and a closed position, in response to movements of the piston-cylinder assembly (2). The cylinder-part (22) of the piston-cylinder assembly (2) includes a circular groove (22a) for co-action with rolling support surfaces (12c) associated with said gripping element arrangement (3). The arrangement also includes a separate gripping member (50) which can be readily fitted to the free end-part (3a) of the gripping element (3′) and readily removed therefrom.
