Abstract: A chuck assembly includes a housing formed with a hydraulic fluid inlet, a sleeve mounted in the housing and formed with an annular groove, a shaft mounted rotatably in the sleeve and formed with a fluid passage, a chuck unit mounted in the shaft, a piston subdividing a chamber between the chuck unit and the shaft into first and second compartments, and a cooling mechanism having an air inlet formed in the housing, and an air channel formed in the sleeve and in fluid communication with the air inlet and the annular groove.

Abstract: A chuck assembly includes a housing formed with an hydraulic fluid inlet, a sleeve mounted in the housing and formed with an annular groove, a shaft mounted rotatably in the sleeve and formed with a first fluid passage, a chuck unit mounted in the shaft, a piston subdividing a chamber between the chuck unit and the shaft into first and second compartments, and an annular elastic sealing member disposed in the annular groove and formed with a second fluid passage for passage of a hydraulic fluid from a supply through the hydraulic fluid inlet and the first fluid passage to the first compartment.

Abstract: A turret lathe includes a bed, a headstock mounted on the bed, a first slide mounted slidably on the bed, a second slide mounted slidably on the first slide, a spindle journalled to the headstock, a chuck mounted on the spindle, a tailstock mounted on the second slide, a driven shaft journalled to the tailstock, a turret mounted on the driven shaft, a transmission unit, and a clutch operable between a chamfering operation mode, in which the driven shaft is connected to the spindle through the transmission unit, and a turning operation mode, in which the driven shaft is disconnected from the spindle.

Abstract: A collet assembly includes a collet and a tubular valve sleeve sleeved on a rotary shaft that is disposed within a stationary wall body and which defines a piston-receiving chamber. A piston is disposed movably in the piston-receiving chamber. The valve sleeve is formed with a valve opening therein, a valve chamber extending from the valve opening, a valve inlet in fluid communication with the valve chamber and a fluid injection passage in the stationary wall body, and a valve outlet in fluid communication with the valve chamber and a fluid channel in the shaft. A check valve is mounted in the valve chamber, and is moved to an open position, in which, the valve opening is opened due to injection of a high-pressure hydraulic oil into a clearance through the fluid injection passage, thereby permitting movement of the piston, which, in turn, results in clamping of the collet.

Abstract: A collet chuck includes a tubular body and a rotating shaft assembly that is journalled within the tubular body and that defines a frustoconical recess therewithin. A belt pulley is sleeved fixedly on the rotating shaft assembly. A collet is disposed operably within the recess in the rotating shaft assembly, and is adapted to hold a rod-shaped workpiece therewithin. A movable member is mounted axially and movably within the tubular body for movement in tightening and loosening directions. A front oil chamber is formed in the tubular body, and is located immediately in front of the movable member. A rear oil chamber is formed in the tubular body, and is located immediately behind the movable member. A first oil passage is formed in the tubular body and is in fluid communication with the front oil chamber so that hydraulic oil can be fed thereinto, thereby moving the movable member within the tubular body in the tightening direction so as to compress the collet.

Abstract: A lathe includes a polygon machining cutter unit and a turret unit, which are attached to a cutter carrying plate that can be driven to move on a machine body in longitudinal and transverse directions of a spindle. The spindle is connected mechanically to a cutter shaft of the cutter unit by means of a transmission, which includes a rigid driving shaft, a rigid driven shaft, and first and second gearings. The driving shaft and the driven shaft extend respectively on the machine body in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the spindle, and are interconnected by the first gearing. The second gearing interconnects the driven shaft and the cutter shaft for transferring rotation therebetween.

Abstract: A working machine for machining a workpiece includes a base having a first track and a second track mounted therein and arranged in parallel with each other, at least one clamping device slidably mounted in the first track for clamping the workpiece, and at least one cutter device slidably mounted in the second track to mate with the at least one clamping device for machining the workpiece. In such a manner, the at least one cutter device is movable relative to the at least one clamping, device to machine the two ends of the workpiece.
