The machining station can include a table; at least three robots each having a multi-axis mover secured to the table, and a gripper opposite the table, the robots being interspaced from one another on the table; and a controller. The controller controls the robots to hold a workpiece in a coordinated manner. The computer numerical command (CNC) machine-tool system machines the workpiece while the workpiece is held by the robots. The workpiece can be moved into and out from the machining station with a trolley which slidingly engages a trolley path formed within the table.

A universal plate system for mounting tool heads and/or components on manufacturing machines includes a fixed plate assembly on the x-carriage of the manufacturing machine. A mobile plate assembly is configured to removably attach to the fixed plate assembly, to provide mechanical support and electrical connectivity to a tool head assembly mounted to the mobile plate assembly. The mobile plate assembly can be easily detached from the fixed plate assembly and replaced with a different mobile plate assembly having a different tool head assembly mounted thereon. Mating of the mobile plate assembly to the fixed plate assembly provides the mechanical and electrical connection between the manufacturing machine and the newly mounted tool head assembly, thus permitting quick changes of the tool head assembly to be made.

A machining system including a base; multiple work modules arranged in an arrangement direction on the base, at least one of the multiple work modules being a processing module, which processes a work with a tool, provided with a main shaft head including a main shaft on which a tool is attached and a main shaft rotating device that rotates the main shaft; a head raising and lowering device that moves the main shaft head in a vertical direction; a head moving device that moves the main shaft head in a horizontal plane by moving it in two perpendicular directions; and a work table that holds a work; the processing module being configured so as to be pulled from the base along a path extending in an intersecting direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction.

In the machine tool 2, two or more machine tables 5 are movably provided on the linear way 4 of the machine base 2, the pinion gear 14 is engaged with the rack 13 of the machine base 3, and the feeding movement of each table 5, the pinion gear 14 is driven by a feed motor 15 mounted on each table 5, and the feed motor 15 is controlled by the table control unit 21 so that the table 5 is fed and moved. In the table independent mode, the movement of the table 5 is independently controlled, and in the table linkage mode, the feeding movements of two or more tables 5 are controlled in the same direction at the same speed and in the synchronous state as the same movement amount.

A stabilization device comprising of two identical pieces is disclosed. The pieces can be used individually as stabilizing shims, or it can be interlocked with one another such that it creates an adjustable stabilizer that can be reused again. The piece comprises of an external surface, an internal surface, an interlocking channel within the internal surface, and an interlocking guide that can be inserted into said interlocking channel.

A composite machining machine includes a first machining head, a second machining head, a workpiece holder, a cover, and a frame. The first machining head is movable in a first region to perform additive manufacturing on the workpiece in a second region. The second machining head is movable in the second region to perform cutting on the workpiece. The workpiece holder holds the workpiece in the second region. The cover covers the first region. The frame includes two columns and a beam member coupling the columns. The cover includes a region definition member openable at least partially. The region definition member defines the second region. The first machining head is movable in a guided manner in a range between the columns. The beam member is disposed so that the predetermined range lies inside the first region, and outside and above the second region.

An upright machining center is characterized in being provided with: x-axis guides for moving and guiding a table in the left-right direction on a bed; a column provided on the bed and provided with an opening that straddles the x-axis guides in the front-back direction so that a moving body, on which the table is provided, can enter therein in the left-right direction; a saddle, which is disposed on the upper part of the column so as to be movable in the front-back direction and for which a first y-axis guide that extends in the front-back direction on the right side of the left-right direction and a left second y-axis guide that is located lower and parallel thereto are provided; and a main shaft head, which is disposed on the left side surface of the saddle and moves in the vertical direction.
