  • Patent number: 11833609
    Abstract: An attaching and detaching apparatus includes a main mounting plate to which a main mounting object is to be mounted, an attachment mounting plate to which an attachment mounting object is to be mounted, and a connecting member between the main mounting plate and the attachment mounting plate. A protrusion projecting toward the connecting member is formed on the main mounting plate. A hole into which the protrusion fits is formed on the connecting member. A first contact surface in the shape of a surface of revolution is formed on the protrusion. A second contact surface in the shape of a surface of revolution is formed on the inner surface of the hole. The first contact surface and the second contact surface are in contact with each other with the central axis of the protrusion coinciding with the central axis of the hole.

  • Publication number: 20220212292
    Abstract: A machining head capable of coping with impacts from different directions with a simple configuration of one buffer, and a three-dimensional laser processing machine using the machining head. A machining head having a multi-axis structure that rotatably supports orientation of a tip that emits a laser beam used for a three-dimensional laser processing machine according to the present disclosure includes a buffer in an arm that forms a predetermined angle with a direction in which a laser beam is emitted. The buffer includes: a first coupler that includes a first coupling surface provided near a tip; a second coupler that includes a second coupling surface facing the first coupling surface; and a coupling member that couples the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface 3b. When the tip is collided with a collision force, the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface are separated.
