The invention relates to a device (10) and a method for processing brake linings (44) which are mounted on lining supports (46), comprising a conveying device (16) for the continuous and automated displacement of brake linings (44) to be processed and at least one processing station (12). The conveying device (16) of a device according to the invention (10) comprises a plurality of support surfaces, which are driven by the conveying device (16) and are circumferentially arranged, for the arrangement of lining supports (46) of the brake linings (44) to be processed and positioning means rotating with the support surfaces, said positioning means counteracting a rotation of the lining carriers (46).

A device for grinding and deburring a flat workpiece comprise a grinding roller having an abrasive coating. A coaxial drive shaft that is connected rotation-fast to the guide roller is driven by a drive motor via a primary belt drive. The grinding roller is borne axially displaceable on the drive shaft. Via a second secondary belt drive, the drive motor drives a cam mechanism, comprising a control cylinder that is rotatably borne on the drive shaft of the grinding roller and that has a groove cam and comprising a cam slide arranged on the grinding roller. The rotating grinding roller thus performs an oscillating axial back-and-forth movement.

A data acquisition system for determining the state of a tubular while the tubular rotates about its cylindrical axis. The tubular remains otherwise substantially stationary. Sensors travel up and down the length of the rotating tubular, interrogating the inside and outside of the tubular for data regarding the tubular's state. Sensors may take samples which may be associated with rotational reference information tying the sample to its absolute position on the internal or external surface of the tubular. A data processor processes the samples and other sensor data to produce a wide array of output, including data signatures of the tubular, maps of contour data regarding the internal or external surface of the tubular, and dimensional data regarding the tubular. Data acquisition is advantageously done in real time, and may further be done concurrently with internal or external cleaning operations.

The present invention comprises a grinding machine for grinding a metallic surface of a workpiece, wherein the grinding machine has at least one grinding apparatus, at least one transport belt (2) for transporting the workpiece through the grinding machine, and at least one suction device by means of which a workpiece lying on the transport belt (2) can be acted on with a negative pressure,
wherein the suction device has an extraction chamber (14) which is arranged below the transport belt (2) and which has a base (16) which is inclined with respect to the horizontal.

The present invention relates to a grinding machine for grinding a surface of a workpiece, having at least one transport device for transporting a workpiece in a transport direction through the grinding machine, and at least one grinding tool (2), wherein the grinding tool (2) has at least one brush with grinding bristles,
wherein the grinding machine has a leveling unit.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for brush-polishing by means of a polishing brush that rotates and revolves as in a planetary motion, wherein the conditions to polish can be easily set in accordance with the properties of the workpiece and the purposes to polish. A brush unit has a polishing brush that rotates and revolves. The brush unit includes a mechanism for driving the rotation that rotates the polishing brush and the mechanism for driving the revolution that revolves it. By adjusting the speed of the rotation by the mechanism for driving the rotation the capabilities to polish the workpiece are enhanced. By adjusting the speed of the revolution by the mechanism for driving the revolution the entire workpiece is uniformly polished.

A device including a turning unit for turning a workpiece, the turning unit including a drivably movable turning body with a contact member that is movable along a curved movement path with the movement of the turning body, as well as a guide arrangement for guiding the workpiece during the turning operation which is positioned adjacent the contact member along the movement path such that during a turning operation, the contact member is movable into pressing contact with the workpiece in such a manner that during the turning operation, the workpiece is entrainable along the movement path.

A grinding machine includes a main part and an end case. A driving unit is connected to the end case and includes a first motor which has an output shaft with a groove. A grinding unit is connected to the end case, and cantilevered above the main part. The grinding unit includes a grinding wheel set which has a central axle with a slide. The slide is located in the groove of the output shaft of the first motor. A driving wheel is connected to the central axle. An adjustment device includes a second motor which drives an eccentric unit that has an eccentric axle, and the eccentric axle extends through a bearing which is located in a recess formed to the driving wheel. The driving wheel is driven by the eccentric unit to move the grinding wheel set of the grinding unit left and right.
