AUTOMATISCHE EINSTELLVORRICHTUNG IN MODULBAUWEISE

摘要

A rotary transfer type of automatic gaging system is disclosed which allows the use of standarized modular components in fabricating gaging systems for a variety of applications requiring a variety of gaging and/or other motions in varying numbers and at varying numbers of work stations. The system includes an endless chain or belt drive extending about the rotary index table and engaging a series of standard cam modules located at each work station, rotatable about axes parallel to the table axis so that their number may be varied according to design requirements. Each of the cam modules are capable of driving one, two, or three motion modules, providing an output motion in the vertical direction from below, or vertically from above the table, or in the horizontal direction, respectively. These motion modules are adapted to nest together at each cam module to allow use of one, two, or three distinct motions at each station.
