Hydraulic Chuck with Independently Moveable Jaws

A method of dialing a workpiece having an axis into a chuck includes providing a chuck assembly having a plurality of independent hydraulically controlled jaws distributed about a central axis, each jaw having first and second hydraulic chambers. The method further includes the steps of inserting a portion of the workpiece into the chuck assembly, pumping hydraulic fluid uniformly into each of the first chambers until the jaws are substantially touching the perimeter of the workpiece, and adjusting one or more of the jaws to align the axis of the workpiece with the central axis of the chuck assembly by pumping hydraulic fluid into at least one of the chambers of at least one of the jaws. The method also includes the step of pumping hydraulic fluid uniformly into each of the first chambers until the jaws are clamped around the perimeter of the workpiece at a predetermined pressure.

Holder including a hydraulic piston for the detachable assembly of cutting tools

A holder for the detachable assembly of cutting tools includes a clamping mechanism, which has a piston axially movable by applying oil pressure on either of two opposite sides thereof. A projection of the piston includes a cone surface with a moderate cone angle arranged to co-operate with a wedge body which is self-locking in relation to the cone surface to keep the cutting tool clamped, even when oil pressure is relieved. In order to guarantee such self-locking, transverse grooves are provided in the cone surface enabling friction-reducing oil to be evacuated from the interface between the cone surface and an inner, partially cone-shaped surface on the wedge body.

Actuator for workpiece holding device

A power chucking system 10 comprises a chuck mounted on a headstock, the chuck with its jaws being caused to rotate by rotation or the machine spindle 6. The spindle 6 may be engaged with the pulley 1 in order to rotate a work piece retained within the chuck jaws. A clutch 2 may be used to disengage the spindle 6 from the pulley 1 and to lock the spindle 6 to the head stock. In this configuration, rotation of the pulley 1 will cause an actuator jack 7 to screw or unscrew, into or out of spindle 6, in order to open or close the chuck jaws to grip release the workpiece.

Method and apparatus for machining parts of partial revolution

A machine and method for machining parts of partial revolution. The machine has a driving sheave rotatable about a first axis and a first driven sheave rotatable about a second axis fixed relative to the first axis. An eccentric link is rotatably connected to the first driven sheave at a pivotal connection that is spaced a predetermined distance from the second axis. A belt is wrapped around the driving sheave and the first driven sheave so that rotation of the driving sheave causes the first driven sheave to rotate. A second driven sheave is rotatable about a third axis fixed relative to the second axis. A second driven sheave contacts with the eccentric link. The eccentric link moves in a reciprocating motion when said first driven sheave is caused to rotate and causes reciprocating rotary motion in the second driven sheave, which is transferred to a part being machined.
