An automated vise is disclosed. A gross moveable jaw drive has a stroke longer than the stroke of a fine moveable jaw drive. With this construction, the gross moveable jaw drive can be utilized to actuate the one or more moveable jaws of the vise over a distance greater than the fine moveable jaw drive stroke to a position in which actuation of the fine moveable jaw drive is capable of positioning the one or more moveable jaws in a clamp position to apply pressure to hold the workpiece for machining by, e.g., a CNC machine. In this way, the automated vise can account for workpieces of differing size.

A workpiece clamping device able to perform a set-up changing operation for clamping members depending on the kind of a workpiece to be processed, at a low cost, by a simple method. The workpiece clamping device includes a bracket, a movable part which is movable with respect to the bracket, a clamping member to be attached to and detached from the bracket or the movable part, to clamp a workpiece, and a detachable device for detachably coupling the bracket or the movable part to the clamping member.

A cylinder vice includes a vice jaw, a chain retainer, and a hydraulic assembly. The vice jaw is positioned between side braces and include outer and inner plates. The outer plates include a top edge having a V-shape geometry. The outer plates include a female slide configured to interface with a male slide of the side braces. The inner plates include a top edge having another V-shape geometry. The inner plates include a bottom edge that is configured to interface with a piston. The chain retainer configured to retain a chain end positioned in a slot configuration of the chain retainer and fastened via retainer handles. The chain retainer includes a handle on each side of the slot configuration such that each handle is positioned in the notches of the side braces. The hydraulic assembly is configured to actuate the piston against the bottom edge of the inner plates.

A chuck mechanism operates a piston in a cylinder tube by using action of compressed air and opens and closes, by using a rod coupled to the piston, a pair of fingers, thereby gripping work W. The locking mechanism locks the fingers at work grip positions. The locking mechanism includes a first locking member, a second locking member, and a drive device. The first locking member is displaced when the pair of fingers are opened or closed. The second locking member retains the first locking member so as to lock the fingers at the work grip positions. The drive device relatively displaces the first locking member and the second locking member to locking positions and non-locking positions.

A device for machining distinctive marks on line includes a clamping positioning system and a mark machining system. The clamping positioning system includes a first frame, a clamping cylinder and a fixed roller are fixed on the first frame, and a clamping roller corresponding to the fixed roller is fixed to an output end of the clamping cylinder.

The invention relates to a machining device, in particular for machining workpieces of wood, wood materials, plastic or the like, comprising a workpiece table with a workpiece holder for holding at least one workpiece, and a feeding device for supplying at least one workpiece to the workpiece table, wherein the workpiece can be positioned in three dimensions with respect to the workpiece table. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
