An engaging member, a female member and a tool changer that can be downsized are provided, and the engaging member is an engaging member including: an engaging surface that allows a cam provided in a male member to engage therewith; and a dispersing surface that transmits a force provided from the cam via the engaging surface, to a female member body, wherein the dispersing surface includes a first dispersing surface and a second dispersing surface perpendicular to each other, and a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to a longitudinal direction is formed in a substantially triangular shape by the dispersing surface and the engaging surface.

A system is disclosed for releasable coupling of a hole saw to a drill arbor. The system includes an elongate drill arbor configured at a first end to be clamped in a drill chuck of a drill, and a hole saw adapter provided with a longitudinal bore in which the drill arbor can be received so that an inner surface of the longitudinal bore of the hole saw adapter is mounted slidably on an outer surface of the drill arbor in the longitudinal direction of the drill arbor. The drill arbor includes an actuator member and at least one retaining element co-acting therewith. The inner surface of the longitudinal bore of the hole saw adapter is provided with a recess into which the retaining element of the drill arbor can protrude.

A chuck assembly comprising a mandrel portion including an extending member sized and shaped to hold a workpiece; and a piston including a bore receiving the extending member, the piston mounted for supported movement on and relative to the extending member, the piston moving between a first position and a second position, the first position providing for insertion and removal of the workpiece to and from the extending member, the second position causing gripping force to be applied to the workpiece in at least two locations that are spaced longitudinally along the workpiece to inhibit relative movement between the mandrel and the workpiece.

The present disclosure relates to a tool holder to receive and lock a tool taper on a tool magazine, an unlocking device to unlock a tool taper that is received and is locked in a tool holder of this type, and a tool magazine for a machine tool comprising one or more tool holders of this type and an unlocking device of this type.

Provided is a chuck structure, which is configured to chuck an annular workpiece from a radially outer side of the workpiece. The chuck structure includes: leaf spring members arranged at a predetermined pitch along a circumferential direction of the chuck structure so as to be symmetrical with respect to a mechanism center axis; chuck claw members mounted to distal ends of the leaf spring members, respectively; and a pressing force applying mechanism configured to apply a force of pressing the leaf spring members radially inward, to thereby elastically press the chuck claw members onto a radially outer surface of the workpiece.

A manually actuated robotic tool changer comprises master and tool units, each adapted to be connected to a different one of a robotic arm and a robotic tool. The tool changer includes a plurality of rolling members retained in one of the units and a piston mounted in one of the units and moveable in an axial direction. The piston includes a multi-faceted cam surface including an initial contact surface, a locking surface, and a failsafe surface interposed between the initial contact surface and the locking surface. When the piston is in a locked position in the tool changer, the cam surface is operative to contact the rolling members in one of the units and to urge each rolling member against a surface of the other unit to couple the master and tool units together.

Disclosed is a mounting device (6) including a receiving opening (8) with a circular inner locating surface (10) which is coaxial with the axis of rotation (3) and serves for engagement with radially outer vertices (24) of the polygon profile of a holding pin (23). Arranged adjacent to the inner locating surface is a positioning disk (14) which has an opening (15) coaxial with the axis of rotation (3) and of such polygonal shape and size that the polygon profile of the holding pin (23) engaging in the opening (15) is supported in the opening (15) in a manner preventing relative rotation.

An expanding collet device can selectively clamp a workpiece to a workpiece support and can include an arbor, expandable collet and threaded screw actuator. The threaded screw actuator mechanism can include a support, drawbar, socket and a pair of thrust bearings. The drawbar can be connected to the collet and can extend into the support. An outer circumferential portion of the drawbar can oppose and be spaced away from an inner circumferential portion of the support. The socket can surround the drawbar and can include external threads engaging internal threads on the support such that rotation of the socket relative to the support displaces the socket in the axial direction. The socket, support, and drawbar can be configured such that rotation of the socket relative to the support displaces the drawbar in the axial direction such that the drawbar moves the collet between the released position the clamped position.
