The device for automatically assembling a hinge of the present invention is used for the automatic assembly of a hinge.

A plurality of additional fixture members placed outside a pipe member at a plurality of positions of the pipe member, where the plurality of fixture members are fixed, and a plurality of electromagnetic coils placed inside the pipe member at the plurality of positions of the fixed pipe member. In this state, a pulse current is applied to the plurality of electromagnetic coils located at a first joint, where the fixture member is joined to the outside of the portion where first and second pipe elements of the pipe member are fitted to each other, is swaged and fixed to the pipe member before an fixture member located at a second joint, wherein fixture member is joined to at least one of the first and second pipe elements at a different position, so the plurality of fixture members are swaged and fixed to the pipe member by electromagnetic forming.

A horizontal assembly press apparatus for performing a press-fit operation of a workpiece assembly along a horizontal axis includes a machine body unit, two moving units, two camera units, two pressing bed units and a processing unit. The machine body unit includes two main machine bodies defining an operating channel therebetween. The moving units are respectively and movably disposed on the main machine bodies. The camera units fetch images of the workpiece assembly entered the operating channel and output image signals. The pressing bed units are operated to press the workpiece assembly. The processing unit receives and analyzes the image signals, determines a target position of the horizontal axis, controls movement of the moving units to bring the pressing bed units to the target position, and controls movement of the pressing bed units to perform the press-fit operation of the workpiece assembly.

A method of assembling a prosthetic heart valve includes providing a collapsible and expandable stent having an annulus section and an aortic section. The annulus section has a first diameter in a relaxed condition and a second diameter less than the first diameter in a collapsed condition. A constraint is applied to the stent to constrain the annulus section to a predetermined diameter between the first and second diameters. Applying a cuff and/or a plurality of leaflets to the stent in the constrained condition enables less material to be used. The resultant prosthetic valve is therefore able to be collapsed to a smaller diameter for introduction into a patient.

The present disclosure relates to an insert and system of installing the same. The insert includes a tapered core and a cylinder. The core releasably secures to an installation device which includes a depth stop or a depth control to control the installation depth of the insert. The insert may be provided in a tray that allows for easier handling of the inserts and installation thereof in installation holes, for example in a hydraulic manifold. In some cases, the core includes a threaded hole to releasably secure the insert to the installation device, thus allowing the installation device to pull the core into the cylinder. The core and cylinder may be made of metallic materials such as steels, steel alloys and others. In some cases the insert can withstand blow out pressures of 40,000 psi or higher.

A method for removably securing a component within a bore having a shoulder, includes: forming a housing with a generally cylindrical wall with an open first axial end and a partially closed second axial end having an annular shoulder, and an annular lip section at the first end of the cylindrical housing wall, the lip section having a radially outwardly projecting and circumferentially extending annular ridge, an inner chamfer creating a frustoconical surface with a base toward the housing first axial end and an outer chamfer creating a frustonconical surface with a base toward the housing first axial end; and, inserting the housing into the bore, engaging the bore shoulder, engaging the inner chamfer of the housing lip section with a tool for applying axial force, the tool having a conical surface corresponding to and engageable with the housing inner chamfer, and applying axial force against the inner chamfer by means of the conical surface of the tool.
