Abstract: Locating system for machine tools including a machine tool for working on a object's machining surface by removing material and movement apparatus for placing in direct contact with the machining surface and for moving the machine tool with respect to the object while the tool works on the object, at least two locating apparatuses each including supporting portion for placing at a fixed point on the machining surface, detector including first cable or second cable for connecting the locating apparatus to the machine tool, and a locating portion to release or receive the cable to measure distance detected between the machine tool and locating apparatus. The detector is configured to allow mutual connection of the locating apparatuses to allow direct measurement of distance between locating apparatuses and distance is further obtainable indirectly from the distances detected by the detector between the machine tool and locating apparatuses.

Abstract: Locating apparatus for machine tool including supporting portion for placing at fixed point on object's machining surface, detector including cable to connect apparatus with machine, and locating portion to release or receive cable to measure distance between machine and apparatus and including frame, first device, second device and third device. First device attached to the frame and for receiving or releasing cable in opposition to or pushed by elastic element. Second device attached to frame and includes transmission member to allow the cable passage. Third device attached to frame and allows cable release or reception by apparatus towards machine. First device includes discoidal element rotating around axis of rotation respective to frame to wind or release cable on winding surface. Second device includes guiding slider for conveying cable along conveying direction and moving along translation direction parallel to axis of rotation in proportion to discoidal element rotation.

Abstract: Provided is a machine tool configured for machining by removing material from an object defining a machining surface and including a removal tool of material from the object and driving means configured to be placed directly in contact with the machining surface and to move said machine tool and, thus, the removal tool, with respect to the object.

Abstract: Omni-wheel device to allow machine movement according to selected trajectories and including at least three wheels defining common main axis of rotation and centred with respect to the main axis of rotation. Each wheel includes similar base body centred and rotating relative to the main axis of rotation and defining substantially circumferential perimeter profile. A plurality of similar rolling elements arranged at the perimeter profile to cover most of the perimeter profile and hinged to the base body so they each define its secondary axis of rotation, substantially tangential with respect to the perimeter profile. The rolling elements define similar contact surfaces along the secondary axis of rotation and are equally spaced from each other on the respective base bodies. The wheels are all offset from each other around the main axis of rotation so at least two contact surfaces of rolling elements are always simultaneously in resting position.
