A driving means (D) connected to the second rod (22) moves the second rod (22) in the horizontal direction.

A motor-driven machine tool unit having a stator unit and at least one rotor unit having a rotor shaft that is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The rotor unit includes at least one first bearing unit arranged in the end region of a tool and/or workpiece receptacle, and a second bearing unit arranged at the opposite end region for mounting the rotor shaft in the stator unit. At least one electrical power transmission unit for transmitting electrical power between the stator unit and the rotor unit is provided. The problem addressed by the invention is that of better satisfying the increasing demands on modern machine tools or machine tool units. This problem is solved by the electrical power transmission unit is arranged in the end region opposite the tool and/or workpiece holder and/or on the second bearing unit.

In an electrical plug-and-socket device for transferring electrical energy from an external source of current to an electrical load arranged in a body, preferably in a chuck body of a chuck, in particular an electrical drive motor for actuating the clamping jaws of the chuck, consisting of: —a socket possessing at least two accommodation openings, a body and an electrical load arranged therein, each of which is connected to the source of current via an electrical cable and of at least two plugs connected to the load by one electrical cable each, with the plugs arranged in the body and coupled to the particular accommodation openings of the socket during the electrical energy transfer, and in which the plugs can be removed from the accommodation openings following the energy transfer, and automatic plug-and-socket connection should be created.

A machining unit for a machine tool includes a carrier head base, which on its rear side includes a carriage. The carriage can be coupled to axis guides and is longitudinally displaceable. The machining unit further includes a spindle carrier head held pivotably on the carrier head base. The spindle carrier head has a spindle with a tool holder. The carrier head base is provided with a damping unit. The disclosed machining unit provides increased precision of a machine tool. The machining unit may be incorporated in a machine tool.

The hydro-blasting anti-withdrawal device support is used for mounting an anti-withdrawal device (AWD) utilized when cleaning heat exchanger tubes in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where the tube sheet is recessed within the shell. The support includes a shell flange attachment plate, an AWD attachment plate, and a pipe spacing the two plates apart. Each plate is substantially rectangular and has a pipe attachment tab extending therefrom, the pipe attachment tabs extending in opposite directions. In use, the shell flange attachment plate is secured to the shell flange, the anti-withdrawal device is secured to the AWD attachment plate, and the pipe is dimensioned to support the AWD in close proximity to the heat exchanger tube sheet.

A manufacturing system including a base and multiple work machine modules that are arranged in an arrangement direction on base to be attachable to and detachable from base, in which one wheel of a pair provided on work machine module is engaged with one rail of a pair provided on base in a state in which positional deviation in the arrangement direction is prohibited, and the other wheel of the pair is engaged with the other rail of the pair in a state in which positional deviation is permitted in the arrangement direction, thereby the position of work machine modules on the base in the arrangement direction is specified, and work machine modules are fixed at a setting position on the base to be restricted so as to be drawn toward the base by a module fixing mechanism that is provided on the base.

In an object positioning/fixing device that positions and fixes a target object on a base member in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction, a structure is provided in which, in a state in which the target object is pressed against the base member and fixed thereon by a fixation mechanism: first and second tapered engagement surfaces of first and second reference members are closely contacted against the inner circumferential surfaces of first and second annular engagement members via elastic deformation of the first and second annular engagement members; also first and second base end contact surfaces of the first and second reference members are contacted against the base member; and a pair of regulated surfaces of the second annular engagement member are closely contacted against a pair of regulating surfaces of a second installation hole via elastic deformation of the second annular engagement member.

A machining system including a base; multiple work modules arranged in an arrangement direction on the base, at least one of the multiple work modules being a processing module, which processes a work with a tool, provided with a main shaft head including a main shaft on which a tool is attached and a main shaft rotating device that rotates the main shaft; a head raising and lowering device that moves the main shaft head in a vertical direction; a head moving device that moves the main shaft head in a horizontal plane by moving it in two perpendicular directions; and a work table that holds a work; the processing module being configured so as to be pulled from the base along a path extending in an intersecting direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction.
