Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for obtaining a solution from a solid product are disclosed. A solid product is housed in a dispenser. A liquid is introduced into the housing of the dispenser to interact with the solid product to form a solution. To control the concentration of the formed solution, the turbulence of the liquid introduced to the dispenser is controlled and adjusted either manually or on a real time basis to account for varying characteristics of either or both of the solid product and the liquid. The dispenser will adjust the turbulence based on the characteristics to maintain a formed solution within an acceptable range of concentration. The concentrated solution can then be discharged from the dispenser to an end use application.

Abstract: A machining center comprising a tool spindle, a tool magazine, a tool shuttle assembly for transferring tools between the tool spindle and the tool magazine including rail means, a tool change mechanism including a carriage, means for mounting the carriage on the rail means for displacement therealong, a dynamically brakeable motor for driving the tool change mechanism along the rail means in a selected direction, means for stopping the tool change mechanism driven in the selected direction including first proximity switch means secured to the carriage at a selected spacing from the rail means for maintaining the condition of the proximity switch means as the carriage is displaced along the rail means, opening means in the rail means at a selected location for changing the condition of the first proximity switch means as the carriage means is displaced in the selected direction along the rail means, second proximity switch means secured to the rail means, the tool change mechanism including a projecting eleme

Abstract: A machining center comprising tool spindle means, tool changing means, tool drum assembly means including first and second axially spaced integral tool drums each having a plurality of tool holding chucks about the periphery thereof, each of the tool holding chucks having a movable jaw, extension means operatively associated with each the movable jaw on one of the first and second tool drums for permitting movement of the associated movable jaw from a predetermined remote location, tool housing means for rotatably supporting the tool drum assembly means including first actuator means for displacing the one of the extension means of the one tool drum located at a selected location, and second actuator means for displacing one of the movable jaws of the other one of the tool drums located at a selected location, means for supporting the tool housing means for axial displacement, and means for axially displacing the tool housing means from a first position to a second position.

Abstract: A tool changing mechanism for a machining center comprising arcuate shuttle path means including rail means having a uniform width with opposing sides and a gear track parallel to the rail, and a tool shuttle including a tool change arm, shuttle path engagement means including post means, means for mounting the post means on the tool shuttle for selective rotation about a vertical axis, a pair of guide rollers, means for mounting the pair of guide rollers on the post means with a selected spacing therebetween substantially equal to the rail width, whereby the pair of guide rollers will engage the opposing rail sides and selectively change their orientation to automatically maintain an orthogonal relation thereto while the shuttle traverses the arcuate shuttle path, a driven gear concentrically mounted for rotational movement relative to the post means about the post rotational axis and for engagement with the gear track, and means for driving the driven gear, whereby the shuttle may traverse the arcuate shutt
