Abstract:
A work-piece support member forming part of a spindle liner for use within the hollow spindle of a turning machine comprising: a disc dimensioned to fit closely within the hollow spindle, having a central aperture (A) sized to accept a work-piece; holding at least one helical spring (20) positioned adjacent to the aperture (A); such that in use the axis of said spring is held perpendicular to the axis of said work-piece such that part of the side walls of said spring or springs (20) abut against said work-piece and thereby firmly support said work-piece as it rotates with the hollow spindle about the axis of said hollow spindle.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a bar feeding device, for example for a lathe. This bar feeding device comprises:—a base (1) extending lengthwise, a channel cover (4) extending lengthwise and rotatably connected to the base (1), a guiding member (7) comprising a guiding channel (8) extending lengthwise, a pusher flag (12), a mover, such as an endless chain (13), fastened to a first end of the pusher flag (12) and able to move the pusher flag (12) lengthwise, a push bar (9) able to move within the guiding channel (8) and fastened to a second end of the pusher flag (12). This bar feeding device is further characterised in that the channel cover (4) comprises at least one displaceable member (14,14a) and an actuator (15) for displacing the displaceable member (14,14a). The invention also pertains to a process for using such a bar feeding device.

Abstract:
A feed rod vibration prevention support of a material feeder includes a guide device for guiding a feed rod moving to feed a material to a working machine, and a vibration attenuation mechanism for preventing the feed rod from being vibrated. The guide device further includes a guide and a bush supported by the guide having a feed rod placed thereon. The vibration attenuation mechanism includes a first elastic material located between the bush and the guide. The bush is provided with a flanged portion.
Abstract:
A rotary centering device for the transfer of a bar from the guiding channel of a feeder to a lathe, comprising a supporting element and provided with at least one circular seat in which a grip element for a bar is supported, the grip element being constituted by a bush which has a tubular portion and a plurality of sectors connected to the tubular portion, elastic elements being provided which act on the bush and are designed to, control its axial movement between a first stop position, in which the sectors define a circular opening whose diameter is the same as that of the bar, and a second position, in which the sectors are moved until they form an opening to allow the passage of the bar pusher.
Abstract:
A reduction unit for feeders of lathes and spindles of lathes, which comprises a tubular body provided with at least one plate which is adapted to be coupled to a portion of one of the machines which control the unit, and a plurality of radially-acting elastic elements which are distributed on the internal surface of the body and protrude from it toward the inside of the body.
Abstract:
A spindle liner including an axial sleeve having an axial length and an inner bore for receiving a stock piece is provided. The spindle liner further includes fins extending radially outward from the axial sleeve for supporting the axial sleeve within a spindle. Each fin extends along the axial length of the spindle liner. The spindle liner may be extruded from a high density material such as high density polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride or nylon and molybdenum disulfide. The spindle liner may further include an retaining flange attached to a distal end of the spindle liner.
Abstract:
The bar supporting apparatus (10) relates to an apparatus which is installed to be continuous to the main spindle (50) of the automatic lathe at the rear thereof and prevents the rotating bar (17) held by the chuck (51) of the main spindle (50) of the automatic lathe from oscillating to support the bar (17) so as to allow smooth rotation. The bar supporting apparatus (10) includes: the case (11); the fixing member (15) fixed on the external surface of the case (11); and the support (13) attached to the fixing member 15 to support the bar (17) in the case (11). The through hole into which the support (13) is inserted is formed on the side surface of the case (11). The fixing member (15) for fixing the support (13) is fixed on the external surface of the case (11) with the support (13) being inserted into the case (11) from the through hole.
Abstract:
A material holding and guiding device of automatic lathe has a base with one end provided with an arm frame and another end provided with a reciprocating set. A receiving and retaining set is mounted pivotally on the arm frame in a manner that the bottom of the receiving and retaining set is coupled with the reciprocating set. The receiving and retaining set has an inner annular body and an outer annular body. The inner annular body is axially provided with a through hole which is used to accommodate therein the material to be lathed and which is provided at each of two ends thereof with a ring sleeve. The motion of the reciprocating set causes the receiving and retaining set to make a swing of a predetermined angle so as to force the ring sleeves located at both ends of the through hole of the inner annular body to hold the material stably in a manner that the material is capable of turning synchronously with the inner annular body.
Abstract:
A silent feeder for revolving bar stock has a horizontal elongated feed bed with a beam supported by plural columns. Spaced adjustable holders are mounted on the feed bed at opposite sides of the stock, and each holder has a plurality of rollers bearing on the circumference of the bar stock, the rollers being preferably resiliently loaded radially of the bar stock.
