  • Patent number: 10197475
    Abstract: A tire tester includes a rotary member, a tire support mechanism, and an actuator configured to advance and retreat at least one of the rotary member and the tire support mechanism with respect to the other. The tire support mechanism includes a main frame connected with the actuator, a subframe supporting an axle extending in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction in which the rotary member or the tire support mechanism advances and retreats with the actuator, and movably attached to the main frame such that a distance of the subframe from the main frame decreases and increases in a direction crossing the first direction; and at least one measurement unit provided between the main frame and the subframe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 25, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2019

  • Patent number: 9132463
    Abstract: A die cushion device includes: a cushion pad which is located below a blank holder and is movable up and down while being synchronized with the blank holder; a linear driving device which drives a brake member along a predetermined line and regenerates energy from the linear movement of the brake member by combination of a servo motor and a conversion mechanism; and a hydraulic speed change device which transfers the speed of the cushion pad to the brake member via the pressure of hydraulic fluid while increasing the speed and transfers the speed of the brake member to the cushion pad via the pressure of the enclosed hydraulic fluid while decreasing the speed.

  • Publication number: 20090051091
    Abstract: A pallet P is moved in a vertically held state from a pallet-mounting surface vertically formed on a table 115 of a machine tool 101 onto a pallet-mounting surface of a pallet support member 17 that is vertically formed on a pallet exchanger 11. After a turning plate 15 is turned and indexed by 180° about the vertical axis, a pallet F? is moved from the pallet support member 17 onto the table 115.
