Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically pressure fitting parts, comprising:a work bench for setting a work thereon;a control system for controlling the operations of the apparatus;a drive mechanism for driving the work bench in an X- and a Y-axis direction, under the control of the control system every time the pressure fitting of a part is finished, thereby moving the next part fitting hole in the work underneath a part setting position;a parts guide, which parts to be pressure fitted in the work are fed along in a row;a heater for heating the parts being fed;a setting position where each heated part fed thereto is set;a pressure fitting tool that moves up and down, thereby causing the pressure fitting of the part in a part fitting hole of the work set on the work bench; anda holder composed of two blocks capable of taking hold of the heated part set in the setting position and releasing the held part by being pushed open downward and outward by the pressure fitting tool being lowered, thereby pressure fitting the part in a part fitting hole of the work, the holder being closed into an original state when it is released by the pressure fitting tool during the upward motion.
