Publication number: 20180050402Abstract: This fine hole electrical discharge machine applies voltage between a fine hole machining electrode and a workpiece to cause discharge, and machines a fine hole in the workpiece by using energy of the discharge. The fine hole electrical discharge machine comprises: a bendable guide tube having a hollow portion through which the electrode is inserted; and a tube holder that supports the leading end of the guide tube and allows the leading end of the guide tube to be inclined at a desired angle. Thus, even when the workpiece has a complicated shape, like a blisk, having a large number of turbine blades arranged in the circumferential direction, a fine hole can be machined by accurately positioning the electrode so as to orient the electrode toward a target machining point on a surface of the workpiece without involving interference with the workpiece.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: February 22, 2018Applicant: MAKINO MILLING MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventor: Tomohiro NAGASE

Publication number: 20180050406Abstract: The apparatus serves for inhomogeneous cooling of a flat object with a first main face and a second main face opposite the first main face. The flat object is cooled by a cooling device from the direction of the first main face. On the second main face, a heating device locally acts upon a first partial face in such a way that the flat object is subjected to heat at said first partial face relative to a second partial face adjoining said first partial face in such a way that said first partial face is cooled more slowly in comparison with the second partial face and, during the cooling process, the second main face of the flat object therefore has an inhomogeneous temperature distribution at least in a partial time period of the cooling.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2016Publication date: February 22, 2018Applicant: SEMIKRON ELEKTRONIK GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20180050407Abstract: A soldering attachment apparatus having bendable magnetic arms and a substantially planar metal base. The base is constructed of a ferrous metal and the arms are comprised of flexible steel gooseneck having a bottom portion with a magnet, and a top portion having an alligator clip or other accessory. The arms are magnetically coupled to the base via the magnet. The arms can be of varying length and are easily removed or slid across the metal base for unlimited repositioning. This repositioning allows the user to angle an object for optimum soldering. The soldering tool can be used to hold circuit boards, jewelry, 3D printed parts and a variety of other objects when soldering.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2016Publication date: February 22, 2018Inventor: Mark Richards
