A mobile fluid transfer system. The system includes a fluid evacuation system, a fluid refill system, a sensing system and a control system. The fluid evacuation system comprises a first fluid storage container. The fluid refill system comprises a second fluid storage container. The sensing system is coupled to the fluid evacuation system and the fluid refill system. The control system is coupled to the sensing system, the fluid evacuation system and the fluid refill system. The control system is configured to determine an amount of a first fluid in the first fluid storage container based on a first signal from the sensing system, and determine an amount of a second fluid in the second fluid storage container based on a second signal from the sensing system.

An apparatus for lifting and rotating a frame of a motor vehicle includes a rotisserie and a rotatably connected fixture that holds the motor vehicle frame during production. The fixture includes clamps extending from arms of the fixture and clamps extending from the front support for affixing the frame of the motor vehicle to the fixture. The fixture may further include a passive lock mechanism for engaging a side sill of the frame that includes a latch, a locking extension, a latch spring that holds the latch in engagement with the frame, and a pendulum that rotates relative to the fixture but remains oriented in a fixed location relative to horizontal. The latch may only be disengaged from the frame when the locking extension is aligned to be received by a slot in the pendulum when the fixture is rotated to the home location.

A machine tool includes a clamping mechanism for clamping/unclamping rotation of a rotary table. A load is measured when an unclamping command is output and then the rotary table is rotated after a set time set in the timer passes, and the set time of the timer is changed in response to a magnitude of the measured load. In this way, it is possible to prevent the clamping mechanism from being damaged due to a subsequent command given before unclamping ends, and extend a life span of a component.

The present invention includes a table (2) for placing a workpiece (Wa) thereon, a supporting mechanism (10) including a rotary shaft (15, 16) and supporting the table (2) so as to be able to rock the table (2) about an axial center of the rotary shaft (15, 16), a first drive motor (20) rotating the rotary shaft (15) of the supporting mechanism (10) to rock the table (2), a balance imparting mechanism (30) imparting a balance load to the rotary shaft (15) in accordance with a position of rocking of the table (2), and a controller (50) controlling the first drive motor (20). The balance imparting mechanism (30) includes an eccentric disc (31) having a circular plate shape and connected at a position eccentric from a center thereof to the rotary shaft (15), a housing (32) holding an outer periphery of the eccentric disc (31) via a bearing (33), and a load imparting unit (35) imparting the balance load to the housing (32) in a direction intersecting an axis of the rotary shaft (15).
