An apparatus for fixing and centering substrates that are each provided with an inner hole is provided. The apparatus has a housing having an axis that extends perpendicular to the plane of a substrate placed on the apparatus. A fixation unit is guided in the housing and is introducible into the inner hole of a substrate. The fixation unit includes an outer element that is moveable along the axis of the housing and relative to the housing, and also includes an inner element that is moveable along the axis of the housing and relative to the housing and to the outer element, which, by way of a relative movement of the inner and outer elements, is expandable for engagement with the inner hole of a substrate.

A mandrel for use in tin box manufacturing apparatus is described. The mandrel is provided with a base component and a plurality of side wall components which are indirectly coupled to said base component such that the movement of said base component towards the center of said mandrel causes laterally outward displacement of said side wall components. The coupling is achieved by connecting a rod member to the base component which moves vertically within the mandrel when the base component moves and providing inclined cam surfaces on either side of said rod member against which cam followers provided on lateral actuating members are springingly biased. The cam surfaces of the rod member and the actuating members are ideally disposed within the mandrel in a plane parallel with the base component and at the mid point of the depth of the mandrel. On either side of the actuating members and optionally at the end thereof, secondary angled cam surfaces are provided against which cam followers coupled to the side wall components and optionally corner components of the mandrel are springingly biased. In use, the base component is forced inwardly of the mandrel, the rod member moves vertically upwardly as do the inclined cam surfaces thereon thus causing laterally outward motion of the actuating members and their cam surfaces, which in turn causes outward motion of the side wall components in a perpendicular direction, and outward motion of the optional corner components in a diagonal direction.

A workpiece holder features a grip post having an interior wall structure and an exterior wall structure defining a plurality of expandable sections adapted to engage the wall of a bore formed on a workpiece. The grip post houses a cam arrangement abutting the interior wall structure. A pin arrangement is movably mounted in the grip post and has a tapered head engageable with the cam arrangement. A fluid system is provided for instantaneously imparting longitudinal movement to the pin arrangement whereby the exterior wall structure of the grip post is expanded into gripping relationship with the workpiece bore by the progressive engagement of the tapered head with the cam arrangement.

The present invention is a universal workpiece holder that includes a unique positioning hub and a plurality of clamping devices for clamping a variety of annularly shaped workpieces having different interior and/or exterior diameters. The positioning hub includes multiple sets of spokes, wherein when a particular set of spokes aligns with the clamping devices, the workpiece holder is able to secure a particularly sized annulus without distorting it. Moreover, upon rotating the positioning hub about its center and aligning a different set of spokes with the clamping devices, the workpiece holder is able to secure a differently sized annulus. Each set of spokes corresponds to a certain sized annulus, thereby eliminating the need for an independent workpiece holder for each differently sized annulus.

The present invention provides a workholder for securing a work piece by engaging at least one bore contained in the work piece. The workholder includes a support platform, bore clamping device, and a locator assembly. The bore clamping device is mounted to the support platform and has a cylindrical, expandable arbor extending upwardly from the support platform for positioning in and engaging the bore.

The invention provides a mandrel comprising a shaft (1) the forward end of which has the shape of a forward pointing truncated cone (7), an expanding sleeve (15) constituted by a ring provided with longitudinal slits designed to slide over said conical forward end (7), and a piston (8) which is guided in a cylindrical bore provided along the axis of the mandrel shaft (1), from which it projects forwards, with the sliding of said piston (8) driving said sleeve (15) so as to control the gripping or the releasing on said mandrel of a workpiece to be machined. According to the invention, the forward end of the piston (8) has the shape of a rearward pointing truncated cone (12), and the inner wall of the sleeve (15) has the shape of two successive truncated cones (17, 18) orientated mirror image fashion, with the apex angle of the forward cone (18) of the sleeve (15), which is capable of mating with said cone (12) of the piston, being greater than the apex angle of the rear cone (17) of the sleeve (15), which is capable of mating with said cone (7) of the shaft (1). Application to the gripping of workpieces having a cylindrical or conical bore.

The present invention provides a workholder and a method for securing a work piece by engaging either a bore contained in the work piece or by gripping the edge of the bore of the work piece. The workholder includes a support platform, and a bore clamping device that is mounted to the support platform. The clamping device has a cylindrical, expandable arbor extending upwardly from the support platform for positioning in and engaging the bore or for gripping an outer edge of the bore.

A method for producing a seamless metallic belt without a welded line and capable of being easily produced in high accuracy. A seamless belt material 21 having a defined length as a whole is placed on a core 11 and is held in a stretching state on the core 11 thermally expanded by heating, and further, in the above state, an outer circumference of the belt material 21 is cut to a predetermined thickness. The seamless metallic belt 20 is obtained by removing after the core 11 is cooled.
