Problems solved by technology

As it is often the case, conversely, that not every rack in the workbench needs to be equipped with a corresponding actuator, the cost of device assembly may be unnecessarily high

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring to the drawings, reference numeral 1 generally indicates a device for holding a workpiece during machining work.

[0022] The device 1 comprises a support table 2 equipped with a plurality of frames 3 , and a plurality of actuators 4 which can be movably inserted into the frames 3 of the table 2 . The actuator 4 can be used in multiple working positions and can be combined to form a deck shaped to match the contour of the workpiece 100 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .

Abstract

Workpieces of irregular or complex geometry are supported during machining operations by a table (2) affording an array of housings (3) and equipped with a battery of actuators (4) , each insertable removably in a relative housing (3) and pilotable between multiple operating positions so as to support the workpiece (100) . Signals containing identification codes and motion- inducing commands are generated by a master control unit and transmitted to the support table (2) , in such a way that that the actuators (4) can be positioned to accommodate the contours of the workpiece (100) . Each actuator (4) is associated with one of the identification codes and thus directly and selectively in receipt of the motion- inducing commands .

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and methods for holding workpieces during machining work. [0002] In particular, the invention applies to the technical field of devices used in numerically controlled multi-axis machine tools for supporting semi-finished products or blanks in stable positions so that workpieces can be machined with tools. Background technique [0003] Devices of the type in question generally look like simple decks on which workpieces can be placed and secured. In some cases, particularly when the workpiece is not flat or in any case cannot be supported on a flat table, devices shaped to fit the shape of the workpiece may be used. In these cases, however, each time the workpiece is changed, a different device is required, resulting in the need for storage facilities for holding different kinds of support devices, and also resulting in extremely high production costs. [0004] By way of example, these disadvantages are pointe...
