  • Patent number: 7275899
    Abstract: Machining coolant/lubricant is used to operate a piston of a clamping-side coupler by feeding same via a coolant feed passage to a clamping pressure chamber through a first check valve and a clamping pressure fluid passage. The same coolant/lubricant is discharged from an unclamping pressure chamber through an unclamping pressure fluid passage and a second check valve. The resulting movement of the piston downwards brings a clamp member into contact with a workpiece to thereby clamp the workpiece on a table. Thus, a dedicated pressure source for clamping can be dispensed with.

  • Patent number: 7266901
    Abstract: A multiple-bolt insertion tool in accordance with the present invention simultaneously inserts bolts into at least two bolt holes arrayed in a workpiece and includes a bolt receiving member and a hold-and-release mechanism. The bolt receiving member includes bolt positioning portions which establish a positional relationship among the bolts that are to be inserted that matches the positional relationship of the bolt holes, and a tool positioning portion, which fits (mates with) the workpiece to locate the bolt positioning portions in alignment with corresponding bolt holes in the workpiece. The hold-and-release mechanism holds the bolts in the bolt positioning portions until the tool positioning portion is mated with the workpiece and can release the bolts from the bolt positioning portions.

  • Patent number: 5849122
    Abstract: A vehicle body panel having a honeycomb sandwich structure in which a honeycomb core is sandwiched between a first and a second plate includes a subhoneycomb panel formed by adhering the first plate to one major surface of the honeycomb core beforehand. The subhoneycomb panel is pressed against the second plate which is constituted by a part of a structural panel of a vehicle body with the intermediary of an adhesive layer, the other major surface of the honeycomb core being adhered to the second plate. The connection of the subhoneycomb panel to the second plate is performed after the structural panel has been connected to a strength member of the vehicle body, e. g. after a washing stage. Such a vehicle body panel with a honeycomb sandwich structure is achievable without resorting to any substantial modification of an existing vehicle body assembly line.
