  • Publication number: 20200061913
    Abstract: A lifting device for additive manufacturing and an operational method thereof are provided. The lifting device has a base, a processing module, a powder feeding module, a linkage module, and a lifting module. The base is formed with a processing space and a powder feeding space. The processing module has a processing base, and the powder feeding module has a powder feeding base. The processing base and the powder feeding base are driven and moved by the lifting module. Thereby, two power sources of a traditional lifting device can be integrated into a single power source.

  • Patent number: 9855630
    Abstract: An electricity supply tool holder for a machining center is provided, and has: a holder body, a stationary coil portion, a rotating coil portion, a lateral fixing portion, and an electrical machinery. The stationary coil portion is provided with a primary coil therein; the rotating coil portion is correspondingly provided with a secondary coil therein; and the lateral fixing portion is fixed on a side of the stationary coil portion used for removably combining with a machining center. When the tool holder is rotated, an external electric power/signal can be transmitted through the lateral fixing portion to the primary coil, then inducing the secondary coil, then the electric power/signal is transmitted to the electrical machinery. Additionally, the lateral fixing portion can be switched into a locked position to temporarily limit rotation, so that it can be used in a machining center of an Automatic Tool Changing (ATC) system.
