The present invention discloses a device for assembling three workpieces together. The setting of the first driving mechanism on the device body facilitates the driving of the clamping component through the feeding mechanism, horizontal rod, and limit seat. The setting of the second driving mechanism on the first seat body facilitates the driving of the second seat body up and down, ultimately facilitating the driving of the clamping component up and down; The setting of the connecting pressure block on the second body is driven by a third driving mechanism, which facilitates the first and second workpieces to be pressed down from top to bottom when being clamped into the third workpiece, preventing its displacement. On the other hand, it prevents the workpiece from being lifted when the clamping component moves upwards after assembly is completed.

A system comprises a docking station and a robot. The docking station includes a first dock and a second dock. The first dock is configured to removably-receive a first plate. The first plate is configured to removably-receive a first plurality of parts. The second dock is configured to removably-receive a second plate. The second plate is configured to removably-receive a second plurality of parts. The robot includes an end effector configured to engage the first plate and the second plate.

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 system is disclosed for processing a plurality of customized dental restorations from individual millable material blocks in an automated process. The system comprises processing units that may comprise one or more of a milling center comprising one or more milling units, a plurality of material blocks a separating unit, a scrap disposal unit, a heating unit and a cooling unit. A carrier for holding a plurality of individual workpieces in spaced arrangement is also disclosed for use in the system.

A fixture and a method for clamping a plurality of frame-shaped workpieces. The fixture includes a plurality of clamping members adapted to be alternately stacked with the plurality of frame-shaped workpieces along a stacking direction; the plurality of clamping members having positioning holes aligned to each other in the stacking direction; and a locking assembly at least partially arranged in the positioning holes and adapted to press the plurality of clamping members in the stacking direction to allow the plurality of clamping members to be clamped in position.

An interchangeable carrier system, in particular for workstations for producing components for exhaust systems of internal combustion engines, includes a base unit and a carrier unit, which is to be releasably fixed to the base unit in a working position, wherein a coupling/fixing arrangement is provided on the base unit and a counterpart coupling/fixing arrangement, which can be brought into positive coupling engagement with the coupling/fixing arrangement during a sliding movement of the carrier unit in a sliding movement direction into the working position, is provided on the carrier unit, and wherein, when the carrier unit is positioned in the working position, the carrier unit can be fixed with respect to the base unit by the coupling/fixing arrangement.

Workpiece carrier in which a plurality of workpieces can be arranged in an array. The workpiece carrier comprising at least two side longitudinal supports, spring-loaded partition walls which extend between the two longitudinal supports and are displaceable along the longitudinal supports, wherein between two adjacent partition walls at least one receiving region for one or more workpieces is defined, which is laterally delimited by adjacent longitudinal supports, and a displacement mechanism, with which the partition walls are displaceable against a spring force, so that the workpieces in the receiving regions are held frictionally by the adjacent partition walls.

An apparatus that includes a holder body configured to hold a substrate at edge portions of the substrate. The holder body includes a first layer and a second layer parallel to the first layer, forming a slot between the two layers to receive the substrate. The apparatus further includes one or more detent rotational locking mechanisms attached to the holder body. The apparatus further includes one or more bar leaves positioned within the slot and attached to the one or more detent rotational locking mechanisms. The one or more detent rotational locking mechanisms are configured to provide a clamping force to hold the substrate positioned between the one or more bar leaves and the holder body.
