| 20120093606 | AUTOMATED LOADING OF WORK PIECES VIA STAGING REGIONS INTO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH MILLING MACHINES AND CONTROLLERS AND METHODS FOR SAME - Embodiments relate generally to milling machines and milling techniques, and more particularly, to apparatuses, milling machines and methods to control automatic loading and/or unloading of work pieces in relation to the adverse milling machine environments. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a subset of guide members constituting a staging region, a loader member configured to impart a loading force unto the work piece to transition the work piece from the staging region, and an effector coupled to the loader member. The effector is configured to apply a cleaning force to a path in a first interval of time and is configured further to transfer the loading force from the loader member to the work piece in a second interval of time, and an alignment device configured to align the subset of guide members and the effector to form a portion of the path in a first mode. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20160082559 | MACHINE TOOL - A machine tool comprises a tool spindle which can be positioned in 3 axes and a pivot bridge pivotable about an A axis with a round table for mounting a workpiece pallet supporting a workpiece. Furthermore, in front of the pivot bridge, a mount is provided for a processed workpiece or workpiece to be processed located on a workpiece pallet. Between the mount and the pivot bridge a pallet changer is provided which can only perform a vertical displacement movement and a pivot movement about a vertical axis. Workpiece pallets are picked up and put down only during the vertical displacement movement of the pallet changer, or possibly by pivoting the pivot bridge about the A axis. | 03-24-2016 |

| 20140363250 | MULTI-TOOL MACHINING SYSTEM - A multi-tool system uses precision alignment features to align and attach a group of rotary end mill tools to a gantry. Once attached, a bed with similarly positioned alignment features can be used to align and a number of substantially identical work pieces for fabrication with substantially identical features. | 12-11-2014 |
| 20150016914 | VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER - A vertical machining center includes a machining table on which a first pallet is placed and which moves in an X axis direction. A spindle head includes a spindle and moves in a Z axis direction. A rotary pallet exchanger exchanges the first pallet with a second pallet in a setup area. In a pallet rotational movement area, the first and second pallets are rotated. An oil pan is below the second pallet in the setup area, accommodates a part of the pallet rotational movement area, and includes a cutout portion. Space exposed to the cutout portion forms a cutout area. A door partitions a machining area from the setup area. An amount of offset in the X axis direction from the axial center of the spindle to the rotational center of the pallet exchanger is equal to or less than a width of the first pallet. | 01-15-2015 |
