Accordingly this invention relates to equipment for processing lens blanks comprising a workpiece turret supported rotatably about a main axis of rotation, said turret being fitted with at least two workpiece receptacles configured each outside the main axis of rotation and being rotatable about spindle axes, each workpiece receptacle comprising a workpiece receiving surface having a surface curvature rotationally symmetrical about the spindle axis, whereby said surface curvatures of the workpiece receiving surfaces being different from each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2013Publication date: August 29, 2013Inventor: Roland Mandler

Publication number: 20130183148Abstract: A disclosed centrifugal boost pump volute includes normal to flow cross sectional surfaces distributed over the length of the passage. The volute includes a volute proper, an exit bend and a diffuser fluidly interconnecting the volute proper to the exit bend. The cross sectional surfaces are defined as dimensions set out in one set of data, which includes Tables N-1 and N-2 for the volute proper and Table N-3 for the volute exit bend, where N is the same value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2012Publication date: July 18, 2013Inventors: Adrian L.

Publication number: 20130183114Abstract: A blade for cutting multi-angle valve seat profiles has a plurality of angles machined on its surface which combine to form rake and relief angles that machine concentric valve seats and chatter free finishes. The method of machining several valve seat angles in one cycle of valve cutter as opposed to having multiple valve seat cutters at different angles will accelerate the task of machining valve seats on cylinder heads on internal combustion engines.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2012Publication date: July 18, 2013Inventors: Ricardo Bermea, Ricardo Bermea

Publication number: 20130177363Abstract: In a method and a machine tool for machining metallic workpieces, a cooling device is provided to supply a cryogenic coolant to a first tool and a precooling device is provided to supply the cryogenic coolant to a second tool. The first tool is held in a first chuck and processes a workpiece, with the first tool during processing being cooled via the cryogenic coolant. The second tool is held in a second chuck and will subsequently be used for processing the workpiece. The second tool is supplied via the precooling device with the cryogenic coolant and thus cooled to the operating temperature required for processing. Due to the fact that the second tool is precooled to the required processing temperature, after the change of tools, the processing of the workpiece can be continued immediately. By precooling the second tool during the primary processing time, the total processing time of the workpiece is reduced, providing the machine tool with higher productivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2012Publication date: July 11, 2013Inventors: Moshe Israel Meidar, Woflgang Horn, Holger H. Kolb, Douglas J. Watts

Publication number: 20130175288Abstract: A method is described for providing a tablet supply channel in a support (5) of a tablet releasing unit (10), with a slot miller providing the tablet supply channel. The method includes milling the tablet supply channel (6) in the support (5). The supply channel (6) exhibits a transversal section that is practically constant, and has an opening (7) developed along a length thereof. The milled supply channel embraces the transiting tablets (2) using a main wall (11), a first lateral wall (12) connected to the main wall, a second lateral wall (13) connected to the main wall (11), which is opposite the first lateral wall. The milling is performed using a slot miller having a cutting profile which is alike to an external tablet profile of one equal part of a transversal section of maximum area, so that the tablet (2) is guided along the supply channel (6).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2013Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicant: MARCHESINI GROUP S.P.A.Inventor: MARCHESINI GROUP S.P.A.
