MACHINE TOOL AND METHOD FOR THE EFFICIENT AND FLEXIBLE PRO-DUCTION OF MACHINING PATTERNS BY MEANS OF A NUMBER OF SPINDLES
The device and the corresponding method according to the invention relate in particular to a CNC machine tool and a machining method preferably for large machining patterns. The CNC machine tool may comprise a machining head 2 which may be connected to a Z-axis 1 such that it can be manually and/or automatically changed, and which may have at least two tool spindles 3 for receiving tools 4. The Z-axis 1 can be moved in a linear manner at least along two linear axial directions. The Z-axis 1 and/or the machining head 2 may have at least one axis of rotation.
Method and apparatus for automated multi-drilling and multi-rivet machine
Method and apparatus for assembling, with fasteners, components of a structure having an outboard side, an inboard side, and a supporting frame. The components are placed together on the frame. An electromagnet having a core with multiple openings is positioned on the outboard side. A magnetically attractive member is placed against the inboard side opposite and aligned with the electromagnet. When activated, the electromagnet is attracted towards the magnetically attractive member and the two hold the components together. Multiple drill members pass through the openings in the core of the electromagnet and multiple openings are drilled simultaneously through the components. Subsequently, multiple rivets or huck bolts are simultaneously inserted into the drilled openings.
CORING MACHINE AND RELATED METHODS
In one respect, the invention is a coring machine for removing portions of food item blanks, the coring machine comprising a plate assembly for holding the food item blanks and a pair of coring assemblies, each comprised of a plurality of coring bits that are aligned with passages in the plate assembly.
Belt tensioner for drill press
A drill press has variable speed drive via belts on stepped pulleys that transfer rotational force from the motor to the drill press spindle. Three stepped pulleys connected by two belts are provided in the example. A belt tension roller is bears against one of the belts to provide tension for effective power transfer from the motor to the spindle. The belt tension roller is adjustable along an arcuate slot in an anchor plate and is fastenable in position by an adjustment knob on the belt tension roller. The middle pulley is mounted to vary its position so that tension adjustments on one belt by the belt tension roller result in tension adjustments on the second belt as well.
GANG DRILL APPARATUS
Disclosed is an automated drill apparatus composed of one or more gang drills mounted to a gang drill chassis, at least one powered drive wheel affixed to the gang drill chassis, and at least three pivotable support wheels. A control panel provides remote operation of drill rotation activation, drill advance, and drill bed position adjustment, and a panic off switch. A control system implements steering the automated drill apparatus and is selectable by the operator for steering in two-wheel mode or crab steer mode. The pivotable drive wheels, in conjunction with the control panel and control system, are used to position the automated drill apparatus along a slab to be drilled, and further activate one or more gang drills for drilling a slab.
Method of manufacturing member having closed-bottom hole portion, and working tool
Provided are a method of manufacturing, and a working tool for, a member having a closed-bottom hole portion that can achieve a good yield of the material, can improve the durability of the cutting blade, and can reduce the force required for the work, by forming a hollowed-out bottom portion using a cutting wire having a two-point support. A method of manufacturing a member having a closed-bottom hole portion by inside-removing-working a raw material made of a carbonaceous material, the closed-bottom hole portion having a hollowed-out side portion and a hollowed-out bottom portion formed by hollowing out an inner portion of the raw material, including: a step of forming a cylindrical trench by digging the raw material frontward from a near-side end face of raw material while rotating the raw material, to form the hollowed-out side portion; and a step of forming the hollowed-out bottom portion by supporting a cutting wire inserted into a bottom portion of the cylindrical trench at two points while rotating the raw material, and pressing the cutting wire being supported at the two points in a direction approaching an axis line of the raw material.
Manufacturing cell comprising a tool carrier
A manufacturing cell comprises a machine tool that has a tool carrier carrying a tool unit and has two adjacent workpiece paths oriented in a longitudinal direction. The tool unit can be displaced relative to a machine bed of the machine tool in a transverse direction and in a vertical direction. At least one workpiece carriage per workpiece path can be displaced in the longitudinal direction along the machine tool. The tool unit can be displaced in the longitudinal direction relative to the machine bed and/or relative to the workpiece carriages. The tool carrier overhangs or projects beyond the workpiece paths. The individual workpiece carriage can also be displaced in the longitudinal direction along the workpiece supply. Furthermore, the workpiece supply has at least one lowerable or tiltable stop device per workpiece path.

System and method for installation of cabinet doors
A system and method for installation of cabinet doors including a hardware installation kit. The hardware installation kit includes a door support, a multi-dimension spacer, a hinge spacer and a multi drill-bit jig. The door support and the multi-dimension spacer are used to support a cabinet door before being fixed to a cabinet. The hinge spacer is used to evenly place a hinge. The hinge is used to connect the cabinet door with the cabinet. The hinge is fixed through inserting fasteners thereto through the multi dill-bit jig.
Four-hole core drilling machine
A four-hole core drilling machine of the invention includes a vertically reciprocating carriage mounted to a body, a motor coupled to the carriage, a fixing plate coupled to the carriage, to rotatably support a drive shaft of the motor, a pivoting plate fastened to the fixing plate under the condition that a pivot angle of the pivoting plate is changed, a drive pulley coupled to the drive shaft, to be rotatable by the drive shaft, four driven pulleys rotatably mounted to the pivoting plate near corners of the pivoting plate, four driven shafts rotatably mounted to the pivoting plate and coupled to the four driven pulleys, to be rotatable by the driven pulleys, a belt mounted around the drive pulley and the driven pulleys, to transmit rotation force of the drive pulley to the driven pulleys, and four core bits coupled to lower ends of the driven shafts.
