  • Publication number: 20060008118
    Abstract: In a conventional image monitoring system problems have been that images are very unclear and it is sometimes difficult to monitor them, because images to be monitored are displayed intact to a monitoring operator, even if monitoring-unnecessary-moving objects, such as rainfall or snow, are photographed in the monitoring images. In an image processing apparatus 1, easy-to-monitor images, in which monitoring-unnecessary-moving objects, such as rainfall or snow, have been eliminated, can be displayed to the monitoring operator, because a monitoring-unnecessary-moving-object-eliminating unit 3 processes each of pixel values of consecutive images that have been continuously photographed and stored in image storing units 2, and outputs the images in which the monitoring-unnecessary-moving objects appearing in the consecutive images have been eliminated.

  • Patent number: 6341929
    Abstract: In a cover apparatus of a machine tool, a slide cover and turning covers are connected to a motor via an up-down movement mechanism and a cam drive portion. During operation of the motor, the slide cover and the turning covers are raised from a lowermost position to an uppermost position, and are held at the uppermost position, and then are lowered from the uppermost position to the lowermost position. The turning covers are connected to the motor also via a pivoting mechanism and an intermittent drive unit. During operation of the motor, the turning covers are turned while being held at the uppermost position. The apparatus thus prevents deviations of the up-down movement timing of the slide cover 47 and the up-down movement timing of the turning covers, thereby improving reliability.

  • Patent number: 6341928
    Abstract: In a pallet changer apparatus, a pallet changing arm is connected to a motor via a raising/lowering mechanism and an intermittent drive unit. During operation of the motor, the pallet changing arm is raised from a lowermost position to an uppermost position, and is held at the uppermost position, and then is lowered from the uppermost position to the lowermost position. The pallet changing arm is also connected to the motor via a turning mechanism and a second cam drive portion. During operation of the motor, the pallet changing arm is turned while being held at the uppermost position. The pallet changing arm is moved up and down and turned by using the single motor provided above a table. The table below the pallet changing arm is reduced in size so as to allow an operator to perform operations without being impeded by the table.

  • Patent number: 5997455
    Abstract: A tool clamp mechanism includes a hollow spindle in which a tool can be inserted, the spindle having at least one slot which is axially elongated, a draw bar movably provided in the spindle, and a spindle head which rotatably supports the spindle. A drive ring is provided around the spindle. The drive ring and the draw bar are connected by a connecting pin which penetrates the drive ring and the draw bar through the slot of the spindle. A pusher lever is provided to the spindle head, which urges the drive ring so that the draw bar releases the tool. The drive ring has a contact surface which the pusher lever abuts. The contact surface is positioned ahead of the connecting pin in a pushing direction of the pusher lever.

  • Patent number: 5372568
    Abstract: A machine tool equipped with an automatic tool changing device, including a tool support having a clamping mechanism for holding a cutting tool, a tool transfer device having a tool gripper for transferring the tool to and from the tool support at a tool change position, and a device for moving the tool support and the tool transfer device in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the tool held on the tool support, the tool changing device including a mechanism for converting a first relative movement of the gripper and the tool support toward each other, into a movement of the clamping mechanism for unclamping the tool from the tool support, and converting a second relative movement of the gripper and the tool support away from each other, into a movement of the clamping mechanism for clamping the tool to the tool support, wherein the gripper has a pair of jaws shaped for engagement with the tool held on the tool support before the tool is unclamped, and for permitting completion of the first relative move

  • Patent number: 5029310
    Abstract: In a pressure developing device, employed in an image recording unit, including a pair of pressure developing rollers for pressurizing a material on which a visible image is to be developed through elastic springs, provided are backup rollers arranged to be brought into contact with each of the pair of pressure developing rollers. Thus, a pressure force generated between the pair of pressure developing rollers are uniformly applied to the material along a direction which the pair of pressure developing rollers are extended. Further, a pressure force, i.e., a length of each of the elastic springs is arranged to be adjusted from the outside of the pressure developing device with a simple operation by means of a screw and so forth.
