Automatic loading-unloading mechanism for a pot broaching machine

摘要

A loading and unloading mechanism is mounted to a pot broach to allow both loading and unloading of the pot broach during a single cycle. The mechanism includes a carriage having offset loading and unloading arms mounted thereto which simultaneously move in response to a single operating cylinder to load a blank workpiece into the inlet of the pot broach while unloading a finished workpiece from the outlet of the pot broach.
