A system for machining and positioning an automobile hub and a production line for intelligent cleaning and precision including upper and lower mounting plates connected vertically. At least three U-shaped blocks are fixed on a top surface of the upper plate. An L-shaped support is mounted between every two blocks including a screw-equipped ball head disposed thereon. The support is driven by a first driving apparatus to move along the upper mounting plate. A slidable chuck is disposed in each block, with a push rod assembly connected to the bottom. The assembly is driven by a second driving apparatus to move along the upper mounting plate with the chuck. Three wedges are circumferentially fixed on a top surface of the lower plate and are driven by a third driving apparatus to move along the lower plate. Inclined surfaces of the wedges are mated with bottoms of the push rod assemblies.

A cable holding system for positioning a cable relative to a cable processing machine comprises a cable holding device for selectively clamping onto a cable to be processed, and a receiver. The receiver includes an opening for selectively receiving the cable holding device in a predetermined orientation, and a mounting base for fixing the location of the receiver relative to the cable processing machine.

An ingot jig assembly is provided, including an end surface clamping jig and an ingot positioning jig. The end surface clamping jig includes two opposite clamping parts. The ingot positioning jig is located below the end surface clamping jig and includes a first base, an adjusting base, and two rollers. The adjusting base is located between the first base and the end surface clamping jig and is movably disposed on the first base along a first axis to be close to or away from the end surface clamping jig. The two rollers are rotatably disposed on the adjusting base. An ingot edge-polishing machine tool is also provided.

A sound reduction device for use in a mechanical machining method or a joining method, in particular a pulse-type joining method. The sound reduction device comprises a clamping device by means of which at least one part to be machined can be clamped at a plurality of clamping locations, as well as a plurality of engagement components which engage the part surface at a number of engagement points, in order to damp vibrations of the part. The present disclosure also describes a joining method and a machining method in combination with the sound reduction device.

A workpiece conveyance pallet which can reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the reliability. The workpiece conveyance pallet includes a rest surface on which a workpiece is mounted, and a clamping mechanism which clamps the workpiece, the clamping mechanism including an openable and closable, first claw and second claw, a biasing section which biases the first claw and the second claw in the closing direction, and a movement restriction section which detachably engages with the first claw and the second claw when the first claw and the second claw are opened.

Methods involving adding a removable fixating material to a partially manufactured workpiece to stabilize a plurality of partially formed objects therein for subsequent manufacturing. In one example, a workpiece of interconnected structures is manufactured comprising precursors to the discrete objects as a function of a workpiece computer model. Manufacturing the workpiece further includes forming valleys between adjacent partially formed objects so that interconnecting portions remain to interconnect the partially formed objects. Further, the methods include removing the interconnecting portions so as to liberate the plurality of objects from one another. In some embodiments, a temporary frame is formed from the workpiece along with the plurality of objects during manufacturing.

An automobile hub fixture includes a fixture body and a positioning apparatus. The fixture body includes a fixed platform and a plurality of clamping claws arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the fixed platform. The clamping claws are configured to clamp an outer rim of a hub. The plurality of clamping claws are connected to a driving member by using a linkage, and the driving member drives the clamping claws to radially move along the fixed platform. The positioning apparatus includes a movable platform slidably connected to the clamping claws. A positioning module configured to position an inner rim or the outer rim of the hub is mounted to the movable platform. The machining device includes a fixture, a machine tool, and a minimal quantity lubrication apparatus. The production line includes a machining device, a loading system, a loading and unloading manipulator, and a catching table.

An arrangement (50) for grinding edged tools, such as knives, said arrangement (50) configured to be part of a grinding machine (100), comprising a conical grinding wheel (110) arranged to be rotated in a rotational direction (R) and having an envelope grinding surface (111) for an edged tool (10), and a grinding jig (120) for holding an edged tool (10), wherein the grinding jig (120), in use, is arranged such that the edged tool (10) extends over the envelope grinding surface (111) perpendicular to the rotational direction (R).
