  • Patent number: 9976628
    Abstract: A positioning structure for a worm wheel which is configured to mesh with a worm spindle and contains: a body, a plurality of rolling assemblies, and at least one attaching material. The body includes plural accommodating grooves and plural recesses, wherein each recess forms on a bottom face of each accommodating groove and communicating with said each accommodating groove. Each rolling assembly includes a holder, a rolling ball, and a magnetic attracting element, wherein a width of the holder is less than a width of said each accommodating groove so as to form a gap between the holder and said each accommodating groove. Each attaching material is filled in the gap, and said each rolling assembly is adjustably moved to a fixing position of said each accommodating groove by using said each recess, such that said each attaching material locates the holder in said each accommodating groove.

  • Patent number: 9630285
    Abstract: A servo-driven tool unclamping system for a machine tool contains: a tool changing unit, a tool unclamp unit, and a servo control unit. The tool changing unit includes a cam box, a first servo motor for driving the cam box, a driving shaft driven by the cam box, and a tool change arm driven by the driving shaft. The tool unclamp unit includes a spindle, a transmission assembly, and a second servo motor. The servo control unit includes a main controller, a first servo drive and a second servo drive both electrically connected with and controlled by the main controller. The first servo drive and the second servo drive are also electrically coupled with the first servo motor and the second servo motor and numerically control the tool changing unit and the tool unclamp unit, hence the tool change arm operates, and the spindle clamps and unclamps each tool.
