A spindle phase indexing device for a machine tool is equipped with a guide rail detachably or fixedly attached to a table, a phase indexing jig configured to travel on the guide rail and which includes a first fitting part, a cutting tool including a second fitting part configured to be fitted with the first fitting part, and a controller configured to store therein a phase of a spindle at a point in time when the first fitting part and the second fitting part are fitted together. The first fitting part and the second fitting part are formed such that rotation of the cutting tool is constrained when the first fitting part and the second fitting part are fitted together.

A CNC machining center has a table-mounted referencing device having two pedestals, each separately engageable by a tool in a Z-axis drive tool holder to establish a zero reference for vertical machining operations on a work-piece mounted on the table. The first of the pedestals has a relatively soft top so that rapid Z-axis advance of the tool onto the pedestal will not damage the tool tip. A spring load on the pedestal also accommodates limited downward movement from a rest position for the pedestal to operate a Z-axis drive stop switch to further avoid tool damage and to save in the computer controller memory, the height of the tool tip from the table. The second pedestal is provided with a hard top so that when the tool tip is touched on it and moves the hard pedestal to operate the switch 34, the Z-axis drive recorder records in controller memory a number that is precisely related to the height of the tool tip from the table.

A method and device is provided for multistage calibration of multiple-axis measuring robots (6) and associated optical measuring devices (10), especially 3D sensors, in a measuring station (1) for workpieces (2), preferably the bodyshells of motor vehicles. Calibration occurs in a measuring cascade comprising at least three calibrating steps, whereby the optical measuring device (10) and the operating point (28) thereof, the manipulator (6) and the axes thereof and the allocation of the manipulator (6) with respect to the workpiece (2) are successively calibrated. The calibration device (47) includes a control and a calibration system (27) for the operating point (28), a calibration body (15) for the axes of the manipulator and a calibration device (12) for the allocation of the manipulator with respect to the workpiece.

In a machine tool, a calibration and gauging system comprising drive means for moving a tool or inspection probe to a commanded position which is beyond a calibration position. The calibration and gauging system also includes circuitry for developing a transfer signal when the tool or inspection probe has arrived at the commanded position and a ''''false'''' transfer signal when the tool or probe has arrived at the calibration position. The transfer signals initiate the next sequence of the machine tool program.

Methods and systems for the touch auto-calibration for robot placement of substrate in process modules are provided. Touch auto-calibration allows for the automatic calibration of robot end effector positioning with respect to an aligning base in a process module. Touch auto-calibration also allows for calibration of process modules at temperatures and pressures similar to the temperatures and pressures experienced during production. The end effector has one or more aligning surfaces configured to align it with the aligning base upon contact with the aligning base. After contact, the position of the end effector and the calibrated position of the end effector during a pick or place move can then be determined. In some implementations, the positioning of the end effector as it transfers a substrate during production is based on a placement coordinate with the placement correction applied.

The present invention relates to a method and a system for determining the relation between a local coordinate system located in the working range of an industrial robot (1) and a robot coordinate system. The method includes attaching a first calibration object (10) in a fixed relation to the robot and determining the position of the first calibration object in relation to the robot. Then, locating at least three second calibration objects (14,15,16) in the working range of the robot, a reference position for each of the second calibration objects in the local coordinate system can be determined by moving the robot until the first calibration object is in mechanical contact with each second calibration object. By reading the position of the robot when the calibration objects are in mechanical contact the relation between the local coordinate system and the robot coordinate system can be calculated.

A tool presetter and a tool offset amount calculation method are provided which ensure easy and accurate determination of reference tool offset amounts in a machine tool having a pivotal tool spindle stock. The tool presetter is mounted in a composite lathe having a pivotal tool spindle stock 17. The tool presetter calculates tool offset amounts Oz (=A−Zm), Ox (=B−Xm) on the basis of machine coordinate values Zm, Xm of the tool spindle stock detected when a nose of a tool T is in contact with Z-axis and X-axis detection points of a presetter sensor 18 with the tool spindle stock 17 pivoted by a pivot angle &agr;, and machine coordinate values A, B of the Z-axis and X-axis detection points of the presetter sensor 18, and calculates reference tool offset amounts Lz, Lx from predetermined expressions on the basis of the tool offset amounts Ox, Oz and the pivot angle &agr; of the tool spindle stock 17.

A datuming device is provided for use with a machine tool having a movable member which is guided under computer numerical control. The datuming device permits measurement of displacements in a direction not parallel with a displacement probe's line of travel. The device includes a non-sensitive surface which, when probed by the displacement probe, does not indicate a changing displacement when the movable member is moved from a first position to a second position. The nonsensitive surface serves as a reference surface. The device further includes a sensitive surface which, when probed by the displacement probe, exhibits a changing displacement when the movable member is moved from the first position to the second position. The sensitive surface is generally configured as an inclined surface on the datuming device.

An orbiting camera mount including an anti-rotation arm for connection to a spindle nose of a machine tool. A stationary pulley, having a pulley bore, is fixed to an end portion of the anti-rotation arm. The mount also includes a mounting post for connection to a spindle of the machine tool. The mounting post includes a drive shaft portion extending through the pulley bore. A drive housing is fixed to the drive shaft portion for rotation therewith and an output shaft is supported in the drive housing. A driven pulley is fixed to the output shaft and a drive belt extends between the stationary and driven pulleys, whereby rotation of the mounting post causes the output shaft to orbit around the drive shaft portion. A camera mounting stem is coupled to the output shaft and is oriented at a non-zero angle with respect to the drive shaft portion.
