A tool for engaging drive flanks of a threaded nut has a tool body with a central cavity. Cam surfaces are formed in an inner wall of the central cavity. A retainer secured within the central cavity has an outward-facing slot. A jaw for each of the cam surfaces has a curved outer side in contact with one of the cam surfaces and a drive surface on an inner side for engaging one of the drive flanks of the nut. A foot extends inward from a lower end of each of the jaws into the slot to retain the jaws within the central cavity. Rotating the tool body relative to the jaws moves the drive surfaces of the jaws from a retracted position to a gripping position in engagement with the drive flanks of the nut.

Included are: a clamp configured to switch between a mounting state in which a tip tool is mounted and a releasing state in which the tip tool is removed; a clamp moving portion configured to move between a first position at which the clamp is in the mounting state and a second position at which the clamp is in the releasing state; a clamp urging portion configured to urge the clamp moving portion to the first position; a case accommodating at least a part of each of the clamp, the clamp moving portion, and the clamp urging portion; a retaining portion configured to retain the clamp moving portion at the second position; and a mounting operation portion configured to receive mounting operation for switching the clamp from the releasing state to the mounting state. When the mounting operation portion receives the mounting operation, the retaining portion cancels retaining of the clamp moving portion at the second position.

A fixture to hold a workpiece comprising, among other things, a housing having a passage opening into which a clamping pin is inserted for supporting the workpiece; a driving ring mounted in the housing; and at least two locking pins facing the axis of the opening, mounted radially in the housing so as to be able to move, wherein the clamping pin is locked in the opening of the housing when the locking pins are moved toward the axis, and released from the passage opening of the housing when the locking pins are moved away from axis; wherein, a control surface with at least two different pitches is worked onto an inside of the driving ring, and a contact surface is worked onto an inner wall of the driving ring so as to permit movement of the locking pins by rotation of the driving ring.

The present application provides a material transferring and positioning device for a wheel machining center, which includes a base plate, a base, a first bearing, a first shaft sleeve, a hydraulic cylinder brake, a rotary cylinder, a cap and so on. The application may meet the positioning requirement of the wheel machining center, and has the advantages of simple structure, convenient manufacture, stable performance, high positioning precision and simple operation, so that it is very suitable for automatic mass production.

A chuck apparatus for the fastening to a working spindle (2) of a tool machine, with a chuck body (8) comprising a receptacle (7) for the working spindle (2), with at least two chuck jaws (9) which can be adjusted radially to the body axis, and with a drive ring (10), for whose rotation taking place in the circumferential direction a drive (11) is provided, comprising a structure is formed on the drive ring (10) on its outer circumference or its inner circumference for each chuck jaw (9) and which serves for its adjusting. The invention furthermore relates to a rapid replacement system (1) with the chuck apparatus (3) as a base flange (4) and with a replacement flange (5).

A workpiece holder 1 includes a holder head 11 and a holder body 12. The holder head 11 includes a chuck unit 13 for holding a workpiece W, a support pedestal 111 for supporting the chuck unit 13, and a hook 113 provided on a distal end portion of an arm 112 extending from the support pedestal 111. The holder body 12 includes a cylindrical body portion 121, a retained portion 123 that is arranged inside the body portion 121 and rotated around the cylinder axis J1 to be in either a retained state in which the retained portion 123 is retained by the hook 113 on the ?Z direction side or in the released state in which retaining by the hook 113 is released, and a disk spring 126 for biasing the retained portion 123 in the ?Z direction.

An expanding locating pin assembly configured to locate and hold a part includes a housing, a locating pin, an actuating mechanism, and a controller. The housing is configured with a plurality of radial jaw guides and a part rest face. The locating pin has a plurality of jaws connected to and radially movable in the radial jaw guides and extending past the part rest face. The actuating mechanism synchronously moves the jaws to a radial position and applies a holding force to the part. The controller controls the radial position and the holding force of the jaws. The part rest face of the housing and the jaws of the locating pin are configured to receive the part in a located position. The jaws of the locating pin are configured to hold the part in the located position via the holding force and a friction force resulting from the holding force.

An expanding locating and clamping pin assembly configured to locate and clamp a part includes a housing, a locating pin, an actuating mechanism, and a controller. The housing is configured with a plurality of radial jaw guides and a part rest face. The locating pin has a plurality of jaws radially movable in the radial jaw guides, extending past the part rest face, and configured with a part clamping feature. The actuating mechanism is connected to the housing and the jaws and is configured to synchronously move the jaws to a radial position and to apply the clamping force. The controller controls the radial position of the jaws and the clamping force. The part rest face and the jaws of the locating pin are configured to receive the part in a located position and to clamp the part in the located position via the clamping force.
