| 483007000 | WITH CONTROL MEANS ENERGIZED IN RESPONSE TO ACTIVATOR STIMULATED BY CONDITION SENSOR | 8 |
| 20080269031 | NOVEL ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING WORKPIECES IN RAM-DRIVEN PRESSES - Assemblies and methods for processing a workpiece in a ram-driven press employ an active tool contained by a housing that is interchangeable with a passive forming tool assembly in a mounting assembly of the press. The active tool includes a microprocessor and a functional head coupled to the microprocessor. Some assemblies including the active tool include a switch for activating the functional head; the switch may be mounted to the housing such that, when the housing is mounted in the mounting assembly of the press, the switch is triggered by movement of the housing in response to the ram stroke of the press. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20110256995 | MODULE FOR AUTOMATIC TOOL EXCHANGE DEVICE - Provided is a module for automatic tool exchange device of novel structure wherein electric signals can be transmitted with high reliability while preventing transmission efficiency from deteriorating between a first coupling member and a second coupling member. An electromagnetic shielding member is arranged on an outer circumference of a core member except for a transmission surface, a gap member having electromagnetic shielding effect lower than that of the electromagnetic shielding member is interposed between the core member and the electromagnetic shielding member, and a first module and a second module are provided, respectively, with coil units equipped with coil heads which are constituted to include a coil member, the member and the gap member. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20130085049 | CUTTER MAGAZINE, CUTTER SWITCHING SYSTEM USING THE CUTTER MAGAZINE, AND MACHINE TOOL USING THE CUTTER SWITCHING SYSTEM - A cutter switching system includes a supporting platform, a cutter magazine mounted on the supporting platform, and a sensing assembly mounted on the cutter magazine. The cutter magazine includes a cutter storing frame and a driving assembly. The cutter storing frame includes a cylindrical main body, and a plurality of cutters mounted all around the main body. The driving assembly includes a cam indexer engaging with the cutter storing frame for rotating the cutter storing frame. The sensing assembly is mounted on the cam indexer, and the sensor senses the rotation of the cam indexer to establish the static position and the rotation required of the cutter magazine. The present disclosure further provides a machine tool using the cutter switching system. | 04-04-2013 |
| 20130172162 | TOOL EXCHANGER, TOOL MAGAZINE, AND MACHINE TOOL - A tool exchanger for storing a tool ( | 07-04-2013 |
| 20150072844 | TOOL EXCHANGER APPARATUS OF MACHINE TOOL - In a tool exchanger apparatus of a machine tool including a turret which turns around an axis inclining with respect to a vertical direction and which conveys tools, forces applied to tool gripping portions are calculated from a resultant force of a centrifugal force, gravity and an inertial force applied to each of the tools, using a weight and a position of each of the tools and a turning speed and a turning acceleration of the turret for each of turning phases when the turret turns, and the turning speed and the turning acceleration of the turret are determined for each of the turning phases. | 03-12-2015 |
| 20150072845 | TOOL CHANGER FOR MACHINE TOOL - In a tool changer, a turret can move toward and away from a spindle through a swinging movement about a swing shaft. Force applied to a turret mechanism unit at each phase in the swinging movement of the turret is calculated, and a swinging pattern of the turret is determined in accordance with the result of the calculation. | 03-12-2015 |

| 20100197472 | POWER CONTROL OF A ROBOTIC TOOL CHANGER - A robotic tool changer removably attaches a robotic tool to a robotic arm. The changer includes a tool module connected to the robotic tool, and a master module connected to the robotic arm. To attach and detach the robotic tool, the changer couples and uncouples the tool module and the master module. A master electrical signal module (ESM) affixes to the master module and a tool ESM affixes to the tool module. In accordance with design requirements, the changer applies the same power supply to both the master ESM and the tool ESM. The changer, however, selectively suppresses application of the power supply to the tool ESM, while maintaining application of the power supply to the master ESM, during the coupling or uncoupling of the master module and the tool module. In doing so, the changer enables such coupling and uncoupling, while also preventing the formation of transient electric arcs. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20140121085 | RECEIVER-PUNCTURING DEVICE WITH TRANSLATING PUNCTURING DEVICES - Apparatus for selectively puncturing a moving receiver includes puncturing devices, each with two parallel puncturing wheels and a pressure wheel. A drive mechanism rotates the puncturing wheels or pressure wheel of two or more puncturing devices so that the rotating puncturing wheels engage the moving receiver to puncture the moving receiver parallel to its feed direction in the puncturing areas. A transport mechanism selectively moves the plurality of puncturing devices perpendicular to the feed direction of the receiver. A controller receives a job specification including two or more specified puncture locations and causes the transport mechanism to laterally position two or more of the plurality of puncturing devices to puncture the moving receiver in the specified puncture locations. A rotatable turret with various shaft segments can be arranged so that perforating devices can be moved on and off the shaft segments. | 05-01-2014 |
