This machine tool system is provided with a tool holder adaptor that has a flange having formed therein: a hole part that contains a tool holder; and an engagement part that engages with a hand of a self-propelled robot, wherein when transporting the tool holder to a machine tool from a tool storage that contains a plurality of tool holder adaptors, the self-propelled robot grasps the tool holder adaptor to transport the tool.

A self-propelled unit for movable operation on a support structure along a first axis of movement and a second axis of movement that is transverse to the first axis of movement includes a carrier configured for movable displacement on the support structure. A first conveyor assembly is operable to move the carrier on the support structure along the first axis of movement. A second conveyor assembly is operable to move the carrier on the support structure along the second axis of movement. A light source can be attached to the carrier in an operable mode to provide illumination to an area in proximity to the carrier. At least one power contact is configured to maintain electrical contact between the carrier and the support structure.

The invention relates to a transport system for workpiece carriers along a path, wherein each of a plurality of workpiece carriers has its own drive and energy storage, wherein the drive is effected via a drive means rolling on the guide of the path, said drive means being driven by a motor of the workpiece carrier, wherein at least one absolute value track is attached along the path for position coding of the path and each of a plurality of workpiece carriers has an absolute value sensor, which reads out the absolute value of the absolute value track.

The present invention relates to a transport device (100) for receiving one or more module units having machine tool accessory devices and for transporting the one or more received module units to a machine tool (1000) set up on a base surface for use of the machine tool accessory devices of the one or more received module units on the machine tool (1000), wherein the transport device (100) is freely movable on the base surface for positioning the one or more received module units relative to the machine tool (1000), in particular within a region in front and/or next to the machine tool (1000) and/or in front and/or next to a working space of the machine tool (1000).

The present invention discloses an efficient brake disc processing device, which relates to the technical field of brake disc processing, comprising a lathe bed, an upright vertical lathe and a first power tool holder installed on a top end of the lathe bed, and an inverted vertical lathe and a second power tool holder installed on a rear side of the top end of the lathe bed, wherein the upright vertical lathe is cooperated with the second power tool holder to process an upper brake surface of a brake disc, and the inverted vertical lathe is cooperated with the first power tool holder to process a lower brake surface of the brake disc.

A workpiece holding jig including a base member conveyed by a linear guide and at least one pair of holding pieces arranged on the base member in the direction crossing the conveying direction of the linear guide. Each of the at least one pair of holding pieces includes a workpiece holding portion that fits or contacts with the outer peripheral surface of a workpiece located between the at least one pair of holding pieces to prevent the workpiece from slanting or becoming misaligned during the conveyance. At least one of holding pieces in the at least one pair of holding pieces is movable in the direction away from the other.

An autonomous mobile robotic device that may carry and transport one or more items within an environment. The robotic device may comprise a container within which the one or more items may be stored. The robotic device may pick up and deliver the one or more items to one or more locations. The robotic device may be provided with scheduling information for task execution or pickup and delivery of one or more items. Once tasks are complete, the robotic device may autonomously navigate to a storage location.

A production cell includes a workpiece conveyor device which has at least one workpiece carriage. It further includes at least one workpiece processing device and a workpiece transfer station. A provided workpiece can be conveyed to the workpiece processing station and from the processing station to the workpiece transfer station by the workpiece carriage. The production cell has a workpiece tilting device which is arranged at the workpiece transfer station and a workpiece return device with a workpiece temporary storage device. A workpiece can be transferred to the workpiece return device by the workpiece tilting device at the workpiece transfer station, and the workpiece can be conveyed into the workpiece temporary storage device. The workpiece can be removed from the workpiece temporary storage device and can be provided to the workpiece conveyor device.
