    摘要: Two separate drive systems for driving a rotary table about an axis of rotation relative to a support member within a predeterminable angular segment. The first drive system can move the rotary table into a starting position and the second drive system is a linear one and has a play-free pre-loaded ball-and-screw spindle drive by means of which the movement of the rotary table is performed within the predeterminable angular segment. The linear drive system can be coupled and uncoupled free from play to and from the rotary table by means of a clamping system, with the linear drive system being connected to the support member and to the clamping system with two play-free joints. A rotary measuring system is mounted at the axis of table rotation to ascertain the table's current angle of rotation. Once the rotary table has been moved to the starting position, the first drive system is switched off and the second drive system is rigidly connected to the rotary table by the clamping system, and thereafter the table is moved free from play by the spindle drive powered by a servomotor under CNC control.

    摘要: A machine tool having an indexable turret in which the turret has a plurality of stations for supporting tools and with the tools in the stations being presented individually to workpiece operating position in a respective indexed position of the turret during a work cycle. At least two of the stations of the turret are provided with identical tools, forming a group, and on each work cycle one of the pair of stations is bypassed thereby providing a reserve tool which can be made effective without interrupting the work cycle of the machine. Advantageously, most of the tools carried by the turret are provided in groups so that substantially a complete set of reserve tools is provided. Each tool can be used for a certain number of work cycles, or the machine can be provided with adaptive, or tool sensing, controls which sense the dulling or breaking of a tool, or workpieces taken from the machine can be periodically guaged to determine when a particular tool has worn down to the allowable limit. The back up or reserve tools can then be called into play, either individually, or as a set. The invention is adapted for use with automatic machines with an automatic arrangement provided for changing from one tool of a group thereof to an identical tool of the same group. In this manner, a machine tool having a turret tooled up according to the present invention can be maintained in operation for a substantially longer period of time than has heretofore been possible thereby increasing production from the machine tool.

    摘要: A rotary indexing machine comprising a housing, a spindle mounted for rotation in the housing, an index plate mounted on the spindle substantially coaxially therewith, means for mounting a workpiece-holding member substantially coaxially with the spindle, a fluid motor for continuously rotating the spindle in one direction about its axis, the motor being located within the housing substantially concentric with the spindle and positioned between the index plate and the means for mounting the workpieceholding means, means for periodically arresting rotation of the spindle for a predetermined interval of time during which the workpiece may be machined, and means for periodically releasing the rotation arresting means. The means for periodically arresting rotation of the spindle for automatic step indexing, may be easily rendered inoperative so that thereafter the spindle will be rotated continuously without step indexing. The preferred embodiment also includes means for moving the spindle axis through an arc relative to a horizontal position and means for adjusting the spindle angularly about its axis and relative to the location plane of the index plate, whereby the location sides of the notches of the index plate may be accurately aligned with premachined notches existing in the workpiece.
