  • Publication number: 20220214658
    Abstract: A machining head with active correction of the type used in association with a robot to carry out fast high-precision machining tasks especially on parts for the aeronautical production industry that has localised position and angular sensors, and a machining motor or spindle provided with localised movement with respect to the head casing, independent of the robot's movement, this movement being preferably both displacement and rotation with respect to both, allowing active correction of the machining position is disclosed. The invention provides the main advantage of allowing errors by the robot or deformation of the part to be machined, in positioning for machining, to be corrected in a localised very fast and accurate way, without the need to re-position the robot.

  • Patent number: 11345007
    Abstract: A tool for insertion and extraction of temporary fasteners that enables by a plurality of retractable elements, an automatic engagement of the tool on the head of the temporary fastener, without the need for any rotation of the tool with regard to the head, and by lockable grasping units, operated internally locking elements, a high retention and extraction force is achieved, favouring the elimination of the risk of the clamp detaching itself from the tool, enabling control of the entire insertion and extraction process of temporary fasteners. Rapid, effective automation of the use and procedure of the temporary fasteners can be achieved, improving economic profitability and the reliability of their use.

  • Patent number: 9919428
    Abstract: An automated machining head with vision and procedure includes a pressure foot provided with side windows with the capacity to open and close, encasing the machining tool, associated with a vertical movement device provided with mechanical locking, vision equipment connected to a computer and a communications module. The main advantage is endowing an anthropomorphic robot, originally designed for the car industry and with relatively low accuracy, with a notably higher machining accuracy, equivalent to equipment of a much greater accuracy or to parallel kinematic-type robots, also compensating, in real-time and in a continuous manner, for off-centring and loss of perpendicularity by the pressure foot, which are common in conventional heads and are a source of errors and inaccuracy.
