A creep feed grinding apparatus includes a chuck table, a grinding unit having a spindle and a grinding wheel mounted on a lower end of the spindle, the grinding wheel including a plurality of grindstones disposed in an annular array on a surface of an annular base, the grindstones following an annular track upon rotation of the spindle, a moving mechanism for moving the chuck table and the grinding unit relative to each other along a predetermined direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spindle, and a bottom surface state adjusting mechanism for adjusting states of bottom surfaces of the grindstones by cleaning and/or correcting the bottom surfaces of the grindstones. The bottom surface state adjusting mechanism is positioned outside of a relative movement area of the chick table in which the chuck table and the grinding unit are moved relative to each other by the moving mechanism.

A polish pad replacing apparatus includes a polish spindle loaded with a first polish pad, a first roller movable reciprocally under the polish spindle, a clamping element and a position sensor. The clamping element, disposed at the first roller, is to clamp or release the first polish pad. In replacing the first polish pad, a controller moves the polish spindle to a replacing position, the position sensor detects the polish spindle and if positive, have the controller to moves the first roller to insert the clamping element between the polish spindle and the first polish pad so as to clamp an edge of the first polish pad, the first roller is then moved to peel the first polish pad off, and then the first roller is moved to paste a second polish pad onto the polish spindle.

A grinder tool with blind mounting of a disc includes a center alignment mechanism having a first contact and a second contact and a rotational device including an axle that is movable with respect to the center alignment mechanism. A hub is mounted to the axle including a first coupling interface. The disc has a second coupling interface for mating with the first coupling interface. The center alignment mechanism is movable a mounting distance relative to the hub and contacts the disc with the first contact and the second contact to center align the first coupling interface with the second coupling interface. The rotational device is to slowly rotate the hub to angle align the first coupling interface with the second coupling interface to allow the disc to mate and attach to the hub.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for grinding a surface of a steel sheet, the apparatus comprising: a conveyor for transferring a steel sheet; and a grinding means, which is coupled above the conveyor such that the grinding means can be rotated about a direction perpendicular to the conveyor as an axis, and which grinds the surface of the steel sheet, wherein the angle at which the steel sheet is ground is adjusted by rotation. Through the above configuration, as the grinding means is rotatably coupled to the conveyor, it is possible to grind various patterns on the surface of the steel sheet by adjusting the grinding angle through the rotation of the grinding means.

Multiphase Cutting may comprise a bulk removal pass followed by a fine removal pass to cut a gemstone. For example, multiphase cutting may perform a removal by removing approximately 90% of material during a first pass and then reset and remove the remaining 10% of material during a second pass. The second pass may use a slower feed rate and a wider oscillation, moving the gemstone across an entire range of a lap wheel. This split setup may thus produce significantly more accurate results for the accuracy of the total removal.

A device and a method for processing, in particular edge processing, an optical lens, wherein the device has a measuring system, a processing system, a loading system, an unloading system, an intermediate conveyor, and a belt conveyor. The loading system is arranged between the measuring system and the processing system. The unloading system is arranged on the opposite side of the processing system. A lens that is to be processed is picked up and oriented at the optical reference point that is determined by the measuring system in order to determine as precisely as possible the blocking point for the subsequent processing. The loading system and unloading system each have a linearly movable swiveling system with linearly movable suction devices arranged therein. The processing system is designed for the simultaneous processing of two lenses.

The present disclosure provides a carbide blade grinding forming processing production line, relates to the field of blade processing in forming, and provides a production line for grinding forming processing of a carbide blade with inscribed circular holes, which has functions of blade grinding forming processing, blade cleaning and drying and detection of external dimension of a formed blade, and has an automatic loading and uninstalling function. In most processing course of the blade, the cutter head is taken as a carrier, and an overturning device is configured to overturn a whole cutter die box, such that integral end surface overturning of the cutter head in the cutter die box after single end surface grinding is realized, and blade filling processes in different processing links are reduced.

An eyeglass lens processing apparatus for processing a periphery of an eyeglass lens includes: a lens chuck shaft configured to chuck the eyeglass lens; a shaft angle changing portion configured to change a shaft angle of the lens chuck shaft; a first processing tool unit including at least one spindle at which a first processing tool is provided; a second processing tool unit that is disposed to oppose the first processing tool unit and that includes at least one spindle at which a second processing tool is provided; and a controller configured to change one of the first and second processing tool unit to be used for processing the eyeglass lens to the other of the first and second processing tool by controlling driving of the shaft angle changing portion to change the shaft angle of the lens chuck shaft.

A gripper apparatus for loading workpieces to a grinding system includes a mount, a gas-supply coupler, a gas manifold, pneumatic cylinders, and grippers. The gas-supply coupler is supported by the mount and has a first end that detachably mates with a corresponding coupler attached to an external gas-supply conduit. The gas manifold is supported by the mount and is coupled to a second end of the gas-supply coupler. The pneumatic cylinders are supported by the mount, with each pneumatic cylinder being arranged to receive a supply of gas via the gas manifold. The grippers are respectively attached to the pneumatic cylinders. Each gripper has an opened state and a closed state brought about by controlled actuation of a corresponding pneumatic cylinder. The mount includes openings, with each of the openings being structured to receive a corresponding shaft for attaching the mount to a gantry assembly of the grinding system.

A spindle unit mounted to a processing unit has a collar section extending from an outside surface of the spindle unit in a horizontal direction. The processing unit includes a bottom plate having a through-hole through which a lower portion of the spindle unit penetrates, a holder including a side plate that surrounds the spindle unit with the collar section supported by the bottom plate and that is connected to the bottom plate, and an inclination adjusting mechanism that acts on the collar section to adjust the inclination of the spindle unit. The inclination adjusting mechanism includes a spring interposed between a lower surface of the collar section and an upper surface of the bottom plate and an adjusting section that acts to compress the spring and adjusts the inclination of the spindle unit by a compression amount of the spring.
