A machining system includes a tool head having a yoke, a housing pivotally mounted to the yoke and a collet rotatable in the housing. The collet includes a tool head rocker driven by fluid to allow rocking of a tool relative to the collet in a plane normal to the housing pivotal axis in the yoke. The machining system also includes a source of constant liquid pressure and a source of constant gas pressure. The collet has pressure chambers in communication with the sources of constant pressures to bias the rockable collet assembly. The collet/tool axis is arranged to trail in the direction of relative motion when the contour of the work is moving away from the tool head and to lead when the contour of the work is approaching the tool head.

An object burr processing machine for trimming object burr, comprises a machine base, a positioning seat erected on the machine base, a processing arm provided on the positioning seat, an object stage coupled with the machine base for placing object, and control device. The control device comprises an object sensing unit, a processing path setting unit, and a process control unit. The object sensing unit is able to sense the shape of the object. The processing path setting unit is able to define a processing path based on the shape of the object. The process control unit communicates and links to the processing arm, the object stage, the object sensing unit, and the processing path setting unit. During the burr trimming process, the process control unit can use the established processing path to control other devices to conduct the burr trimming process to the object, which greatly increases the convenience and efficiency of the processing.

Provided is a detachable tool detachably attached to a tool mounting hole of a tool holder including the tool mounting hole, and a retaining body disposed in the tool mounting hole in a radially inwardly reciprocable manner. The detachable tool includes: a housing supported at a predetermined position of the tool mounting hole, the housing including an elastic body chamber, and a retaining body insertion hole through which the retaining body is inserted; a slider to which a tip tool having a blade at a basal end portion is mountable, the slider supported by the housing to reciprocate inside the tool mounting hole, the slider having a guide groove extending along the tool mounting hole; an elastic body disposed in the elastic body chamber to urge the slider toward a basal end; and an anti-rotation body disposed in the housing to be received in the guide groove.

Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

A cutting method in which a workpiece is cut on the basis of a plurality of tool paths parallel to one another into a shape having a corner that protrudes outward. A machining step for machining the workpiece on the basis of one tool path and a moving step for moving to the starting point of the next machining step after the completion of the one machining step are repeated. In the machining step, a cutting step for cutting the workpiece in the one tool path and a removing step for removing a burr by moving a tool relatively to the workpiece in the same tool path as that of the cutting step in a region forming the corner are successively performed.

There is provided a machining apparatus in which movement of a machining point is a little, restriction on the machining operation of an articulated robot is a little and movement of a worker for the teaching operation is a little. The machining apparatus has an articulated robot which is controlled in attitude according to a teaching operation and has a catch instrument for catching a workpiece at an arm tip thereof, and a machining unit equipped at a fixed portion located within an arm reachable zone of the articulated robot, wherein the machining unit has a working tool having a profiling portion where a machining target portion of the workpiece caught by the catch instrument of the articulated robot is pressed according to the attitude control of the articular robot, and a floating mechanism that pushes the working tool in a press direction of the workpiece.

The embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and structures for cutting a part to form a highly reflective and smooth surface thereon. In some embodiments, the part includes substantially horizontal and vertical surfaces with edges and corners. In described embodiments, a diamond cutter is used to cut a surface of the part during a milling operation where the diamond cutter contacts the part a number of times with each rotation of the spindle of a milling machine. The diamond cutter has a cutting edge and a land. The cutting edge cuts the surface of the part and the land burnishes the surface of the part to form a highly reflective and smooth surface. Thus, the diamond cutter cuts and burnishes portions of the part, thereby eliminating a subsequent polishing step.
