Automatic Workpiece Supply/Removal TRIZ Cases
- Dual Workpiece Conveyance in Machine Tools for Parallel Loading
Two separate workpiece conveyance mechanisms enable simultaneous loading and unloading in a machine tool, boosting throughput with less enclosure growth.
- Dual Workpiece Conveyance Layout for Parallel Machine Tool Loading
Separate external and in-chamber conveyors enable parallel loading and unloading of workpieces while avoiding interference and machine enlargement.
- CNC Lathe Workpiece Transfer With Guided Oriented Pallet Placement
Guided gripper transfer removes CNC lathe workpieces through the opening and places them on pallets in orientation without machine shutdown.
- Rotating Workpiece Transfer in Machining Centres
A translational and rotating transport vehicle speeds workpiece loading and unloading while keeping the machining space protected.
- Electro-Permanent Magnetic Pole Layout for Constant-Thickness Clamping
Larger mixed-area polar units cut electro-permanent magnet cost while preserving thickness and ferromagnetic anchoring force.
- Spindle-Based Workpiece Exchange Using Machine Tool X-Z Axes
Using the machine tool's X-Z axes, the spindle exchanges workpieces directly from a library with high precision and speed while avoiding robots.
- Internal Gear Workpiece Handling to Shorten Chip-to-Chip Time
An evasive holding movement clears the machining space for internally toothed workpieces, cutting loading and tool idle time.
- Universal Machining Chuck and Tool Control for Small-Batch Workpieces
Programmable chuck adjustment, robotic tool exchange, and sensor feedback automate one-off machining while reducing manual errors and setup cost.
- Machine Tool Loading Transfer With Passive Braked Guide
A single driven pusher and passive braked guide move workpieces on an arc between stations, cutting setup time and control complexity.
- Integrated Workpiece Transfer Cover to Prevent Machine Tool Interference
An arm-integrated movable cover closes the machine opening during transfer, preventing workpiece interference and shortening replacement time.
- Electro-Permanent Magnet Layout for Thin Low-Cost Anchoring
A matrix of larger polar units and mixed-coercivity cores keeps magnetic anchoring force while reducing unit count, cost, and thickness.
- Integrated Workpiece Holder Sealing for Cutting Fluid Containment
An integrated cover and spring-biased holder seals the machine tool opening to contain cutting fluid without separate shutters or added parts.
- Machine Tool Loading Portal Layout for Faster Multi-Side Machining
A separate workpiece transport device speeds loading and unloading in multi-side machining while reducing machine footprint and complexity.
- Pallet Transport Device With Rotating Platform And Elevator
An elevator lowers a feeding assist unit to permit horizontal rotation of the pallet moving unit, enabling reliable circulation along track-shaped paths.
- Load Positioning Roller Mechanism for Cassette Deviation Correction
A load positioning roller corrects horizontal deviations in heavy cassettes using elastic urging forces and gravitational weight.
- Pallet Changing Apparatus Compact Design via Dynamic Covering
A bridging extending portion covers a rising portion during transfer to enable compact pallet changing apparatus design.
