  • Patent number: 9296078
    Abstract: A cutter switching system includes a supporting platform, a cutter magazine mounted on the supporting platform, and a sensing assembly mounted on the cutter magazine. The cutter magazine includes a cutter storing frame and a driving assembly. The cutter storing frame includes a cylindrical main body, and a plurality of cutters mounted all around the main body. The driving assembly includes a cam indexer engaging with the cutter storing frame for rotating the cutter storing frame. The sensing assembly is mounted on the cam indexer, and the sensor senses the rotation of the cam indexer to establish the static position and the rotation required of the cutter magazine. The present disclosure further provides a machine tool using the cutter switching system.

  • Patent number: 9101986
    Abstract: A tool holder for holding a cutting tool comprises a housing, a sleeve received in one end of the housing, a switch fastened in the other end of the housing, a cover fastened at an end of the housing adjacent to the sleeve to prevent the sleeve from being taken out of the housing, and an elastic member sleeved on the sleeve. The switch is electrically connected to a control system of a main spindle of a CNC turning machine and is applied for controlling the movement of the main spindle. The elastic member is compressed to elastically resist with the sleeve and generates an elastic force to make the sleeve move away from the switch, and the sleeve is slidably configured along the inner surface of the housing to contact the switch to stop the movement of the main spindle of the CNC turning machine.

  • Patent number: 8920295
    Abstract: A cutter-changing device includes a cutter-magazine carrying cutters, a rotary telescopic cylinder, and a clamping sub-assembly. The clamping sub-assembly includes a cutter-changing arm, and a pair of clamping assemblies. The rotary telescopic cylinder drives the cutter-changing arm to rotate, extend and retract. Each clamping assembly includes a mounting member, an elastic member, a piston, and at least one resisting member. The mounting member is mounted on the cutter-changing arm, and defines at least one mounting hole through the sidewall thereof. The elastic member and the piston are sleeved with the mounting member, and the two opposite ends of the elastic member press against the piston and the mounting member. The resisting member is mounted between the elastic member and the mounting member, and capable of being resisted by the piston to be partially exposed from the mounting hole.

  • Publication number: 20130081487
    Abstract: A cylinder includes a cylinder body, a piston assembly, and a guiding member. The cylinder defines a receiving hole. The guiding member is fixedly assembled within the receiving hole of the cylinder body, and is coaxial with the cylinder body. The guiding member defines a sliding groove and an arc rotating groove communicating with the sliding groove. The piston assembly includes a piston and at least one roll ball. The piston is assembled within the receiving hole of the cylinder body, and is slidably and rotatably sleeved on the guiding member via the at least one roll ball. The at least one roll ball is movably sandwiched between the piston and the guiding member, and is capable of sliding within the sliding groove and the rotating groove of the guiding member thereby driving the piston to slide and rotate relative to the guiding member.
