A management method of a machining system includes a chuck table, a machining unit, a transfer unit that transfers a wafer onto the chuck table, a camera unit that acquires an image containing a pattern formed on a side of a front surface of the wafer, and an information recording section. The management method is applied when the pattern is recorded in association with machining conditions in the information recording section; and records in the information recording section new machining conditions to be used when machining a new type of wafer, causes an automatic machining program, which automatically machines the new type of wafer, to start, forms an image, which contains a new pattern of the new type of wafer, by the camera unit, and records the new pattern in association with the new machining conditions in the information recording section.

The present disclosure provides an automatic chuck apparatus comprising a mechanical chuck, a mechanical chuck mounting bracket, a hydraulic motor, a lifting mechanism, a chuck key and a lifting cylinder. The mechanical chuck is mounted above the mechanical chuck mounting bracket. The hydraulic motor, the lifting mechanism and the lifting cylinder are mounted below the mechanical chuck mounting bracket. The hydraulic motor is configured to control the rotation of the chuck key, the lifting cylinder is configured to drive the chuck key to ascend or descend through the lifting mechanism, thereby the mechanical chuck is locked or loosened by the chuck key. The present disclosure further provides a grinding wheel cutting apparatus and a cutting method. In the present disclosure, the locking of the chuck is automatically controlled, thereby improving the working efficiency and ensuring sufficient locking force of the chuck.

The present disclosure provides a grinding wheel cutting apparatus comprising a first laser distance sensor, a master controller and a grinding wheel. The first laser distance sensor is communicatively coupled to the master controller. The laser distance sensor is configured to obtain an outer diameter of a rod workpiece. The master controller is configured to determine a segment length of a segment to be cut from the rod workpiece based on the outer diameter, a material density of the rod workpiece and a preset segment weight. The master controller is configured to perform a control to circularly cut the rod workpiece with the grinding wheel according to the segment length. The present disclosure further relates to a cutting method using the grinding wheel cutting apparatus.

A precision squeegee grinder including a grinder assembly configured to grind an edge of a squeegee blade, a squeegee mounting assembly configured to hold the squeegee blade, a grinder assembly vertically alignable with respect to the squeegee mounting assembly, a latitudinal movement assembly connected to the grinder assembly, the latitudinal movement assembly configured to position the grinder assembly with respect to the squeegee blade in defined increments, a longitudinal movement assembly connected to the latitudinal movement, the longitudinal movement assembly configured to move the grinder assembly along a width of the squeegee blade, and a base assembly. The grinder assembly, the squeegee mounting assembly, the latitudinal movement assembly, and the longitudinal movement assembly are connected to the base assembly. The squeegee mounting assembly, the latitudinal movement assembly, and the longitudinal movement assembly enable triaxial alignment between the grinder assembly and the squeegee blade.

While the loading member supporting mechanism moves the loading member from the workpiece set state to the workpiece retracted state and returns to the workpiece set state again, the displacement drive unit and the rotation drive unit perform an operation of disposing the workpiece holding portion arranged at the processing position to the replacement position and an operation of disposing the workpiece holding portion disposed at the replacement position to the processing position in a trajectory in which the loading member does not interfere with the shoe.

The invention relates to an equipment having an upstream holder for a supply reel carrying a continuous ribbon, a portion of which is suitable for forming a film intended to cover a support plate, a downstream holder, an assembly station having a base comprising having a first platen, an actuator with a movable part carrying a second platen, the second platen or the first platen being adapted to receive a support plate, wherein the second platen is adapted to cooperate with the first platen to form a tooling capable of contacting the film and the support plate when the portion of the ribbon forming the film is located between the second platen and the first platen, facing the support plate.

The disclosed solution comprises a device for changing abrading products (30), the device (1) comprising a detacher (2) comprising a table (10), a blade (14) adapted to penetrate into between an abrading product (30) and the gripping means (34) of the abrading tool (4), and means (16, 18, 19) to co-planarly adjust the mutual distance (d) between the table (10) and the blade (14) to correspond to the thickness (t) of the abrading product (30) in the absence of the abrading product (30).

The invention relates to a device (10) and a method for processing brake pads (44) fitted on pad holders (46), comprising a conveying device (16) for continuous and automatic movement of brake pads (44) to be processed and at least one processing station (12). The conveying device (16) of a device according to the invention (10) comprises several bearing faces, which are driven in a revolving manner by the conveying device (16), for the arrangement of pad holders (46) of the brake pads (44) to be processed and positioning means revolving with the bearing faces, said positioning means counteracting a rotation of the pad holders (46).
