Abstract: A device forming a clamping pad includes a body (1) presenting a first face (1a) to be secured by suction to a worktable (T) and a second face (1b) to be secured by suction to a workpiece (P). The body (1) contains elements for generating suction, which elements are linked to the first face (1a) to be secured to the worktable (T) and to the second face (1b) to be secured to a workpiece (P). The device is applicable to double-sided clamping of workpieces (P) with a view to treating them or to working on them.

Abstract: A device for clamping a workpiece (P) to a workbench (T) includes a body (1) containing a vacuum-generating element. The body (1) has a lower cavity (2) open at the bottom and positioned in the vicinity of a face for securing to the workbench (T). The lower cavity (2) forms a vacuum reserve, this vacuum reserve being connected by a substantially straight duct (6) to an upper face for securing a workpiece (P).

Abstract: A door to a machine tool positioned at the front of the machine tool on the workstation side. The door is equipped with steps along an entire length thereof to provide access to the workstation of the machine tool when in a folded-down position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic measuring device for measuring the dimensions of a tool for a machine tool comprising a spindle (10) for receiving a tool (2) which is capable of being moved in order to interact with the device (1) in order to deduce, according to a measuring system specific to said spindle (10), the dimensions of the tool (2), characterized in that it consists of a bar (3) made of a material having highly elastic properties, one of these ends of which is fixedly attached to a yoke attached to a fixed frame (5) and its opposite free end is in contact with two detectors (6 and 7) placed perpendicular to one another and to a yoke (8) capable of sliding on the flexible bar (3) that is overhung by a platform (9) on which said tool (2) to be measured is capable of resting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a workbench for preparing a workpiece intended to be machined on a machine tool, particularly numerically controlled, characterized in that it consists of: a platform (8) made of granite placed horizontally on a frame (9), two guide rods (10, 11) perpendicular to one another, one of which (11) being movable relative to the other (10), arranged in a parallel plane at a distance from the plane formed by the platform (8), each of the rods (10, 11) also being provided with a linear measurement system (13), and a means (12) of viewing the coordinates of a point on the platform (8), said means being capable of being moved by an operator on said movable rod (11).
