Abstract: In a method of applying a weld to a target surface, a guide rail arrangement is attached to the target, the guide rail arrangement including at least one guide rail. A weld head carriage having a carriage housing, a rail follower assembly, and a sonotrode is movably mounted to the guide rail arrangement so that the follower assembly engages each guide rail for movement there-along. The weld head carriage is positioned adjacent the target surface, feedstock material is deposited onto the target surface, and the sonotrode is extended to engage the deposited feedstock material and apply a welding force to the feedstock material and the target. Relative movement between the carriage and the guide rail arrangement is initiated and ultrasonic vibrations are conducted into the feedstock material and the target, thereby welding the feedstock material to the target surface.

Abstract: A differential device including a planetary gear mechanism having a sub-gear, an annular gear and a planetary gear is more compact than a differential gear using a bevel gear mechanism. Since revolution torque of the planetary gear is transmitted to a free gear, and torque from the main gear is reduced to be transmitted, the differential device can use a small-sized drive unit in comparison with a conventional one. Hence, a machining apparatus including such a differential device is also compact. If the machining apparatus has three drive units, a pair of ring gears, first and second power transmission shafts, a radial movement mechanism and an axial movement mechanism, a tool holder, namely, a tool coupled to the radial movement mechanism and the axial movement mechanism, can be freely moved in axial and radial directions with respect to the pipe.

Abstract: A pipe processing tool that is configured to deform the end of a pipe so that the circumferential shape of the end of the pipe generally matches the circumferential shape of an adjacent pipe end. Matching the circumferential shapes of the pipe ends is advantageous during a pipe attachment process. The pipe processing tool can include a deformation ring with a plurality of pipe deformation members. Each pipe deformation member faces radially inward and is actuatable in a radial direction toward and away from the center of the deformation ring in order to permit engagement with the pipe. Each pipe deformation member is individually and separately actuatable from the other pipe deformation members so that the circumferential shapes of the pipes can be altered by controlling suitable ones of the pipe deformation members.
