A mount system and method of manufacture for e.g. a machine vision camera is disclosed. The mount system comprises a rectangular base, a lower clamp disc, an upper clamp disc, a tilting plate, an expansion clamp, and an O-ring. The expansion clamp comprises a tapered head screw and an expandable mandrel, both typically made of stainless steel. The mount system facilitates improved machine vision by enabling effective mounting of machine vision cameras in smaller spaces and/or spaces requiring unusual angles and intricate positioning. The mount system is also advantageous in inhospitable environments having harsh environmental factors. The mount system is also easier for machine vision personnel to learn and understand.

A drive plate of an electromagnetic-fan clutch comprises: a body of the drive plate provided with magnetic-insulation air holes, connection ribs, and magnetic conductive layers. The magnetic-insulation air holes and the magnetic conductive layers are arranged alternatively along a radial direction of the body of the drive plate. A friction-increasing groove is opened on the magnetic conductive layer. The thickness of the magnetic insulation air holes and the thickness of the connection ribs are less than the thickness of the magnetic conductive layers. Six connection ribs are distributed uniformly between the magnetic conductive layers, and the connection ribs at two sides of the magnetic conductive layer are distributed along the radial direction of the body of the drive plate at an interval of 30 degrees. A drive plate through hole is opened in the body of the drive plate, and accommodation walls are disposed on the magnetic conductive layers.

A numerical control device is for machining a machining object by moving a tool and the machining object relative to each other along a movement path while applying vibration, by use of a drive axis provided for the tool or the machining object. The device includes a storage unit that holds an invalid frequency region, and a vibration condition determining unit to determine a frequency for the vibration, based on a rotational speed of a main shaft for rotating the machining object, a number of vibrations of the vibration in each one rotation of the main shaft, and the invalid frequency region.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a sintered component having a hole formed therein, in which a sintered component having no defect, such as cracks, can be manufactured with good productivity and also a reduction in tool life accompanied by forming the hole can be suppressed. The method for manufacturing a sintered component includes a molding step of press-molding a raw material powder containing a metal powder and thus fabricating a green body; a drilling step of forming a hole in the green body using a candle-type drill and thus forming a thin-walled portion, of which a thickness Gt as measured between an inner circumferential surface of the hole and an outer surface of the green body is smaller than a diameter Gd of the hole; and a sintering step of sintering the green body after the drilling step.
