An accessory mounting system for connection of an accessory to a work component having an elongated central opening to a T-shaped slot and a method of making such connection, the accessory mounting system including a generally planar body, a retention element connected to the body, a clamp assembly spaced from the retention element and being connected to the body, a first reference surface extending upward from the body and in a first direction and being located between the retention element and the clamp assembly, the retention element comprising a leg portion extending from an upper end of an upright portion, the clamp assembly having a portion extending toward the retention element and that moves the work component laterally relative to the first reference surface, wherein the retention element is sized to be received through the elongated central opening to the T-shaped slot in the work component.

A machine tool includes a bed, and a table that is provided on the bed and movable in a Z-axis direction. The table includes a workpiece holder, a table base including a first support portion and a second support portion for turnably supporting the workpiece holder at positions spaced from each other in an X-axis direction, the workpiece holder being mounted on the table base, and a turning device that is provided in the first support portion, and turns the workpiece holder around a turning center axis extending in the X-axis direction. The machine tool further includes a first feeding device and a second feeding device that are provided on the bed and are connected to the first support portion and the second support portion respectively to drive the table in the Z-axis direction.

An automatic milling machine mills a gasket. The automatic milling machine controls the position of a cutter head relative a table. The automatic milling machine rotates the gasket with a motor. Parameters of the motor are monitored to determine the amount of rotation of the gasket.

Provided is a cutting tool that includes a cutting head, a frame, a working table, a guiding rail assembly, and a fence. The cutting head is configured to perform a cutting function. The frame is configured to support the cutting head. The working table is configured to place an object to be cut. The guiding rail assembly is configured to enable the working table to slide along a first straight line relative to the frame. The fence is mounted to the working table, includes at least one fence surface extending in a direction perpendicular to the first straight line. The cutting tool enables a workpiece to be cut to be stably placed on the working table during a cutting operation.

A gun smith platform includes a top plate. The top plate has a tool hole centrally disposed on the top plate that extends through the top plate through which a work piece attached to a work tool mounted to a bottom side of the top plate may extend, a plurality of alignment holes extending in a linear pattern from the tool hole, the alignment holes configured to receive alignment pins, at least one row of threaded mounting holes disposed parallel to the linear pattern of alignment holes, and a recessed track disposed parallel to the at least one row of threaded mounting holes. Four legs are attached to and supporting the top plate.

Examples disclosed herein relate to a machining device including one or more beams attached to a surface; a platform coupled to the one or more beams; a tool support element coupled to the platform; a first movement device which may move the platform in a first direction; a second movement device which may move the platform in a second direction; and a third movement device which may move the tool support element in a third direction.

An apparatus, including a guide body (100) having: a bottom surface (102) configured to rest flat atop a worktable; a guide side (200) including a guide contact feature with at least two guide points of contact (202A, 202B) that are configured to abut a flat side of a workpiece disposed on the worktable; and an alignment feature (400) that protrudes downward from the bottom surface. When the alignment feature aligns with a straight edge or a flat face of the worktable, worksurface distances (Da, Db) from the straight edge or from the flat face to each guide point of contact are the same. The apparatus further includes a through hole (500) that passes through a top surface (502) and through the bottom surface (102) and that is disposed between the guide contact feature and the alignment feature.

A machining apparatus capable of performing chamfering with high precision is provided. A machining unit 13 is provided at a distal end portion 12a of an arm 12 of an articulated robot 11, and the machining unit 13 includes a profiling roller 57, which serves as a roller that abuts against a part to be profiled Wd of a workpiece W, and a rotatable tool 41 having an axis line 41a having a distance between the rotatable tool 41 and the profiling roller 57 in conformity with a width of the workpiece W (width of a band-like portion Wc) and extending in parallel with an axis line 57a corresponding to a support axis of the profiling roller 57, and the rotatable tool 41 includes cutting blades 41b or blade portions 73 and 73 as chamfering blades.

Workpiece-holding tools and techniques are described. Workpiece-holding tools and techniques are usable to ensure consistent and durable alignment of various workpieces while providing access for performing attachment techniques thereon. In one example, the workpiece-holding tool is configured to allow objects to be held or removably affixed to an alignment surface. Holding objects with the workpiece-holding tool ensures that the alignment of objects with an alignment surface does not change while a user is operating upon a workpiece, e.g., as by joining aligned objects together, without interfering or obstructing access to the objects. The ability to hold objects is enhanced by the inclusion of cutouts that provide increased access to interior surfaces of the workpiece-holding tool, such as to increase the area available for use of clamps or other fastening devices.

A control system of a machine tool includes a hydraulic pressure adjuster. The hydraulic pressure adjuster includes a sequence program controller that includes components for adding a function of adjusting a hydrostatic pressure of a static pressure oil supplied to a hydrostatic pressure guide mechanism, which are a pressure setting unit, a constant acceleration motion controller, a workpiece-weight calculator and a supply state adjuster.
