A power saw includes a bevel member and a cutting assembly pivotably connected to the bevel member. The cutting assembly includes a blade, a blade guard at least partially covering the blade, and at least one machined cutting assembly surface. A laser alignment device is connected to the cutting assembly. The laser alignment device includes a laser body fixed to a slideable carriage having a machined carriage surface that directly engages the machined cutting assembly surface. The slideable carriage is configured to move relative to the machined cutting assembly surface with substantially only one degree of freedom defined by an axis of translation.

The device includes a tubular case having a through hole that extends therethrough in an axial direction, a test indicator capable of determining a minute amount of change of distance by a stylus, a tubular holder body rotatably attached to the case through the through hole, a supporting body for supporting the holder body, a slidable body provided on a radial inner side of the holder body and movable relative to the holder body along the axial direction, and a pivotal body having a pivotable leading end portion whose pivotal amount is transmitted to the slidable body. The slidable body has an axial extension portion formed along the axial direction and a radial extension portion formed along the radial direction. The stylus and the radial extension portion are configured to come into contact with each other.

A mobile pipe fusion assembly system includes a fusion machine skid comprising a flat cross-sectional area whereon a pipe fusion machine rests, a forward skid comprising a flat cross-sectional area whereon a first pipe stand rests, and a rear skid comprising a flat cross-sectional area whereon a second pipe stand rests. The fusion machine skid is coupled to the forward skid by a first coupling. The fusion machine skid is coupled to the rear skid by a second coupling. The system is configured such that when the forward skid is pulled along a length of the pipe, the forward skid pulls the fusion machine skid via the first coupling and the fusion machine skid pulls the rear skid via the second coupling.

A multi-axis alignment tool including: a main body, a primary base, a puck, a first puck adjuster, a second puck adjuster, a puck retainer, a secondary base, a first pivot pin, a second pivot pin, a pivot block, a clamp head, an adjustment pin, a lock-down spacer, a first clamp finger, and a second clamp finger, wherein the multi-axis alignment tool is configured for to at least one of clamp, align, and position a work part in three axes.

A pallet transport system of a machine tool promoting transport of a pallet for workpiece mounting use from a first stand to an adjoining second stand, wherein the first stand has a first mounting part which defines a first mounting surface, the second stand has a second mounting part which defines a second mounting surface, and the pallet has a mounted part attachable to the first and second mounting parts, along a transport direction of the pallet, includes a support mechanism turnably supporting at least one of the first stand, the second stand, and the pallet so that the orientations of a mounted surface defined by the mounted part and the second mounting surface match due to contact force between the mounted part and the second mounting part along with transport of the pallet from the first stand to the second stand along the first mounting surface.

A horizontal assembly press apparatus for performing a press-fit operation of a workpiece assembly along a horizontal axis includes a machine body unit, two moving units, two camera units, two pressing bed units and a processing unit. The machine body unit includes two main machine bodies defining an operating channel therebetween. The moving units are respectively and movably disposed on the main machine bodies. The camera units fetch images of the workpiece assembly entered the operating channel and output image signals. The pressing bed units are operated to press the workpiece assembly. The processing unit receives and analyzes the image signals, determines a target position of the horizontal axis, controls movement of the moving units to bring the pressing bed units to the target position, and controls movement of the pressing bed units to perform the press-fit operation of the workpiece assembly.

The invention relates to a planar positioning apparatus for positioning loads on a predetermined plane, said positioning apparatus comprising:a base plate having a flat surface that extends parallel to and at a specific distance from the predefined positioning plane, thus defining same;four identical linear guides/drives which are collinearly fastened to or on the base plate in pairs parallel to the two other linear guides/drives; anda parallel kinematic unit which comprises a load platform, is disposed between the parallel linear guides/drives, and is rotationally connected to the rotors of all linear drives via one passive joint each.

A mechanical assembly to precisely position large objects and align them to be joined with other objects with precision. The assembly does not require power to operate and can therefore be used in a variety of remote and harsh locations.

A transfer device is disclosed. The transfer device comprises a transfer rail extending in a longitudinal direction, a carrier movably coupled to the transfer rail in the longitudinal direction of the transfer rail, and a gripper assembly including a gripper module connected to the carrier. The gripper module includes a gripper frame extending in a width direction of the transfer rail and connected to the carrier, a cell mount coupled to an upper face of the gripper frame, and an alignment unit including an alignment body coupled to the gripper frame and an alignment arm movably coupled to the alignment body in at least one of a longitudinal direction or a width direction of the gripper frame.
