Machine Tool Fixture With Air Supply System
View pageUS Patent:
49019902, Feb 20, 1990
Filed:
May 26, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/054309
Inventors:
Simon P. Frechette - Topeka KS
International Classification:
B23Q 700
US Classification:
269 25
Abstract:
A fixture for accurately locating a workpiece during machining operations. A table includes a plurality of frusto-conical openings arranged in a grid pattern to receive locator pins each having a frusto-conical base to seat closely in the opening in which it is inserted. The locator pins establish stops against which some parts of the workpiece are positioned. The workpiece is held against the pins by power cylinders carried on special pegs that can be inserted in the table openings. Air for operating the cylinders is made available to each opening through a valved line and a passageway extending to each opening in the table. Each peg has a passage arranged to receive the incoming fluid from the opening and to transmit the air to its cylinders to extend them against the workpiece.

International Classification:
B23Q 100
US Classification:
269303
Abstract:
A fixture for establishing stop surfaces against which a workpiece can be held to accurately locate it during robotic machine tool operations. The fixture includes a table surface having frusto-conical openings arranged in a preselected pattern to receive locator pins. Each locator pin has a frusto-conical base which automatically centers itself in the opening so that a robotic machine can insert the pins without having to first precisely align them with the openings. Each locator pin is locked in its opening by a releaseable slide mechanism which acts against the pin on opposite sides by wedging action to securely hold the pin down on the table.
