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.

The present application discloses a flexible clamping device. A sleeve is fixed on a base, an adjusting shaft is connected with a mandrel and the sleeve respectively, the mandrel is fixed on the upper end face of the adjusting shaft, and the bottom outer wall of the adjusting shaft is in small clearance fit with the inner wall of the sleeve; a lock screw is installed on the upper right side wall of the sleeve, a pinion is installed on the upper left side wall of the sleeve via a rotating shaft, saw teeth are provided on the side wall of a floating shaft, and the pinion can be engaged with the side teeth of the floating shaft.

A work support includes a mounting plate and a mechanical lock coupled to the mounting plate. The mechanical lock includes a base coupled to the mounting plate and a support pin. The support pin is movably coupled to the base. As such, the support pin can move relative to the base. The work support further includes a locking collar at least partly disposed inside the base. The locking collar surrounds the support pin and includes a first collar portion disposed around the support pin. The first collar portion has an outer tapered surface facing away from the support pin. The locking collar further includes a second collar portion disposed around the support pin. The second collar portion has an inner tapered surface facing toward the support pin and can move relative to the first collar between an unlocked position and a locked position.

A support rod (3) is inserted in a housing (1) so as to be movable in an up-down direction. An actuation chamber (21) is provided in a lower end portion of the housing (1). An output member (24) is moved upward by pressurized oil supplied to the actuation chamber (21). In the actuation chamber (21), to which pressurized oil is supplied, a release spring (33) is attached between a leading end wall (31) of the actuation chamber (21) and a flange portion (25a) provided to a base end portion of the output member (24). The release spring (33) biases the output member (24) downward.

A carpentry block is provided to support a remote end of a board or work piece to be cut with a table saw or chop saw. The block has a triangular body which can be positioned on any base to define three different heights to support the remote work piece end. The block can also be positioned on the one end to define a fourth height for work piece support. An extension member can be added to the block to provide additional heights with the block, the outer end of the work piece is level with the saw table, thereby assuring an accurate cut of the work piece by the saw blade.

Embodiments relate generally to milling machines and milling techniques, and more particularly, to apparatuses, milling machines and methods to control automatic loading and/or unloading of work pieces in relation to the adverse milling machine environments. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a subset of guide members constituting a staging region, a loader member configured to impart a loading force unto the work piece to transition the work piece from the staging region, and an effector coupled to the loader member. The effector is configured to apply a cleaning force to a path in a first interval of time and is configured further to transfer the loading force from the loader member to the work piece in a second interval of time, and an alignment device configured to align the subset of guide members and the effector to form a portion of the path in a first mode.

A work support and method of clamping a translatable component of a hydraulic work support system. The work support may include a rigid, hollow slotted collet, a sleeve, and the translatable component, such as a plunger or rod. Hydraulic fluid may be pumped into an inlet of the hydraulic work support system to hydraulically actuate the translatable component outward from a first retracted position to a second extended position. The hydraulic fluid may further be pumped to the sleeve at a sufficient pressure that the sleeve presses against the collet. The collet responds thereto by flexing into contact with the translatable component, thus holding the translatable component in the second extended position. The slots in the collet allow for flexure even when using a thicker material with stronger column strength.
